Expert Tips from Radical Education
- Don’t just look at the fee — look at the ROI A ₹12-lakh private seat may sound high, but it may be worth it if the college has strong clinical exposure, hospital tie-ups, and post-MBBS pathways.
- Be realistic about rank and choice– If your NEET rank won’t get you a government seat, explore mid-tier private colleges with reasonable facilities and fees. Don’t waste time chasing only top brands.
- NRI seats need documents — be prepared. If you plan to apply under the NRI category, collect embassy certificates, sponsor affidavits, and passport/visa documents in advance.
- Set your budget — but stay flexible-Be clear on what your family can afford annually — and remember that there are hidden costs (hostel, materials, exams, travel) on top of the tuition fee.
