New Delhi: Securing a government medical seat in NEET PG is every doctor’s dream, but not every candidate can make it to the top medical colleges. Many aspirants with mid-level ranks still manage to secure admission to government colleges with lower closing ranks, especially in non-clinical and newly established institutes. These colleges offer the same recognition and degree advantages at significantly lower tuition fees compared to private institutions.
