Medical courses we guide students into
SG Global Education guides students into five NEET-based degrees in India: MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS and BVSc and AH. Each has its own regulator and its own counselling. The table shows who runs what, so you know where to register.

How to choose between them
Start with the NEET rank, not the course. Your rank and category decide which of these courses have a realistic seat for you in a government college, which are realistic only in a private college, and which are out of reach this year. The fee difference between those three situations is large, so the honest answer about rank comes first.
Then look at what the degree lets you do. MBBS and BDS lead to registration as a medical or dental practitioner. BAMS and BHMS lead to registration under the Indian systems of medicine and homoeopathy, with their own scope of practice. BVSc and AH leads to registration as a veterinary practitioner, with steady demand in government animal husbandry services.
If none of the Indian options work at your rank and budget, MBBS abroad is a separate decision with its own rules, and a repeat attempt at NEET is a legitimate option too. We will tell you if we think that is the better choice.

Questions people ask us
Which medical courses need NEET?
MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and BSMS admissions across India are through NEET-UG. BVSc and AH seats under the Veterinary Council of India's 15% all-India quota and Bihar's state counselling are also filled on NEET-UG scores.
What is the minimum NEET score needed to take part in counselling?
You must reach the qualifying percentile: 50th for unreserved and EWS candidates, 40th for OBC, SC and ST, and 45th for unreserved candidates with benchmark disabilities. In NEET-UG 2026 the unreserved qualifying range was 715 to 213 marks. Qualifying only makes you eligible; the rank needed for a seat is far higher for government MBBS.
Can I apply for MBBS, BDS and BAMS at the same time?
Yes. MBBS and BDS are in the same counselling, and Ayush and veterinary counselling are separate registrations. Many students register for all that apply and decide after seeing the first-round allotments.
