Qualifying NEET means that a candidate has scored above the minimum cutoff percentile set by the authorities and is eligible to participate in the counseling process. However, qualifying the exam does not guarantee admission to a medical college. Admission depends on several factors such as the candidate's rank, category, seat availability, state domicile policies, and preferences filled during counseling. Since the number of applicants is significantly higher than the available seats, only candidates with higher ranks are typically able to secure MBBS seats in government colleges.
