Avoid Private colleges which have debarment history in the past 5 years. Nearly 30% of private medical colleges in many states have debarment history in the past

5. Private Medical Colleges Without State Quota

Uttar Pradesh and Bihar Private Medical Colleges do not have any state quota. They have management quota and NRI quota seats only. Because of this, only low scoring students will be joining the college which pushes the average NEET score cut off close to the qualifying score. This is the reason why Uttar Pradesh and Bihar NEET score cut off are close to 200.

6. Medical Colleges Without PG Courses

The number of PG courses is one of the important parameter on which quality of medical education and clinical exposure can be judged. You get guidance from PG residents during clinical rotation as well as get guidance for NEET PG preparation.

7. New Medical Colleges in Permitted Status

When new medical college is started, National Medical Commission gives permission and inspects the medical college every year to see the improvement in average outpatients per day, total beds, infrastructure, facilities and faculties. After 5 years, if new medical colleges reaches mandated facilities, then NMC gives recognized status. It is always better to join medical colleges in recognized status compared to permitted status.
