Hello,

Yes, you can change from B Pharmacy to MBBS, but you must qualify NEET-UG to get admission in any medical college.

Your B Pharm marks or year won’t count for MBBS; you’ll have to start fresh from the first year of MBBS after clearing NEET.

Focus on NEET preparation to secure a good rank for MBBS admission.

Hope you understand.

Hello,

The start date for B. pharmacy colleges is not a single universal date; it varies by state, university, and specific admission cycle, with the 2025-2026 academic session's admission processes already underway or concluding in many states. For example, some admissions for 2025 began in January and are now finishing up, with colleges set to start classes shortly after seat allotment and admission completion.

The cutoff rank for St. Xavier Institute of Pharmacy, Guntur, through the AP EAPCET exam in 2024 was around 55,307 for the general category. For the BCA category, the closing rank was about 39,242, and for the ST category, it was around 49,087.

These cutoffs can change every year depending on the number of applicants, exam difficulty, and seat availability. If your rank is within this range, you have a good chance of getting admission, but you should also keep backup colleges in your counselling list.

Hello,

It's highly unlikely to get a seat at St. Xavier's Institute of Pharmacy with a rank of 51392, as admission is typically based on merit and entrance exams, not a single large rank number, and the expected cut-offs are much lower. For instance, if the rank is from a state-level exam, it could be competitive, but it is not high enough for admission to a top-tier college. The required marks are often much higher than this rank would suggest, so it is important to confirm the specific admission criteria for the particular St. Xavier's institution you are interested in.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Based on your rank of 131, it's highly possible to secure a seat at SCB Medical College and Hospital. While your overall paramedical rank is 661, the specific rank for your chosen course is the primary determinant for admission.

I hope it will clear your query!!


Hello

It depends on the number of seats available, category-wise reservation, and cutoff ranks this year.
You should check the previous year’s cutoff for D.Pharm at SCB for a better estimate.
Keep an eye on counselling updates and seat availability. It’s always good to have backup options ready, too.

Hello,

Yes, you may have moderate chance of getting admission with a 62 percentile in MHT-CET to H.R. Patel Pharmacy College, Shirpur.

The previous cutoff for UR category was around 67–70 percentile, while for Reserved it went down to 61 percentile. So, if you belong to a reserved category, your chances are more, but for General category, you may need to wait or vacancy rounds.

Hope you understand.
