Get My University Analysis

Uttarakhand is a good option for students with lower ranks in NEET UG 2020 who are willing to pay higher fees for both government and private medical colleges. During the counseling process, 1969 students applied for 651 medical seats, and there were 3 candidates competing for each seat.

The cut-off trend in Uttarakhand has been observed to vary from high to low from Round 1 to stray round. For a mid-range private medical college, the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences is the best option in the region. The cut off rank for a government medical seat for a General category student was 37985, and for a private management seat, it was 331247.

It is important to note that students seeking a management quota seat should budget close to 5 lakh rupees for the first year, including hostel, mess, security deposit, and other charges.
