How much prize money can I get if I got AIR 1 in the NEET, AIIMS, and JIPMER?
honestly bro, NTA gives zero prize money for any rank — AIR 1 included. no cash from the government either. but here's where toppers actually make bank:
- coaching institutes: Allen, Aakash etc. will pay you lakhs to put your photo on their banners. Allen paid their 2022 topper Tanishka like Rs.21 lakhs at their victory event lol
- state govt awards: depends where you're from — UP, Rajasthan, MP etc. give Rs.25k to Rs.2 lakh to their state toppers. most people don't even know this exists
- Limca Book of Records: AIR 1 gets you an entry + their prize money
- brand deals: ed-tech apps and book publishers will literally pay for your testimonial or back-cover photo
also one thing nobody talks about — the coaching institute money comes with strings attached. they'll want you to claim you studied there even if you didn't. worth thinking about whether that's a deal you wanna make tbh. and ngl the real win is AIIMS Delhi charges like Rs.1,400/year total for MBBS fees. that's the actual prize
With a NEET score of 305, can I get a seat in BDS or AYUSH courses through counselling?
Yes! With a score of 305 in NEET 2025, you certainly have a fair chance to get a seat in BDS or AYUSH courses—provided, of course, that you belong to a reserved category.
For BDS, you have a good chance in private dental colleges and maybe even some of the government ones under the state quota (depending upon your state and category).
For AYUSH programs such as BAMS, BHMS, or BUMS, your mark is very competitive—most students who have 280–320 marks get seats.
Ensure that you attend both the All India and State Quota counselling rounds in order to keep your doors open.
| Course | Possibility with 305 Marks | Type of College | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BDS | Moderate to Good | Private / Govt (State) | Higher chances in private colleges; gov. colleges possible in some states/categories |
| BAMS | Good | Government/Private | Available under both quotas; lower cutoffs than MBBS/BDS |
| BHMS/BUMS | Good | Government/Private | Fairly accessible at this score, especially in state counseling |
