Dear Student, For admission to the BVSc at GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology Pantnagar, the expected ranks vary by category. If you're a general category candidate, aim for a rank within 500 to 1000. For OBC candidates, the range is 600 to 1200. SC candidates should ideally secure a rank between 1500 and 2000, and for ST candidates, the rank should be between 2700 and 3200. As the actual cutoff ranks can vary each year, striving for a high rank in the entrance exam conducted by the university will increase your chances of admission. Best of luck!

I get 408 marks neet ug bcd catagory.can I get seat in kims ?

Hello Rakesh, it is tough to predict with a score of 408 in the NEET UG BCD category whether you would be eligible to enrol in KIMS Karad. The number of candidates and the course determine the cutoff for admission to KIMS Karad. In recent years, the MBBS cutoff has been rising. The KIMS Karad cutoff for MBBS was 620 in 2021, 613 in 2020, and 591 in 2019. This means that if you receive a score of 408, it's probable that you won't be able to get admitted.
