Counselling Strategy (How to Maximize Your Chances)

• For MBBS

  • If your NEET Rank is under 20,000, you have a strong chance at PDUMC Rajkot (General category).

  • Always fill wider preferences in Round 1 (include other govt. medical colleges in Gujarat).

  • In Round 2, prioritize PDUMC if you’re close to the previous cutoff range (~16k–60k AIR).

  • Don’t skip Mop-up rounds → many students drop seats for AIIMS/CMC/VMMC, opening opportunities.

• For PG

  • Focus on MD/MS clinical branches (Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, OBGYN) if your rank is within top 10k–15k.

  • For para-clinical subjects (Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology), cutoffs go much higher (up to AIR 1.5–1.8 lakh).

  • Always check bond obligations (usually 1-year govt service in Gujarat after PG).
