Punjab has three government medical colleges under BFUHS state quota counselling. All three are well-established institutions with strong clinical training infrastructure. With 650 marks in NEET 2026, you are above the predicted closing marks for all three colleges in the General category. The table below uses expected figures based on 2025 closing data.

Category-wise Predicted Cutoff at 650 Marks
BFUHS follows the reservation policy of the Punjab government for state quota seats. Reserved category students benefit from lower closing marks, making government MBBS admission more accessible.
