What 520 marks means for you
Government MBBS is possible through state quota in many states, more so for reserved categories. Government BDS is likely. Category matters: OBC, SC and ST students get seats at much higher (worse) ranks than General students, and state quotas vary a lot from state to state.
Ten more marks (530) would move you to about rank 30,584, which is 8,125 places higher. In NEET that's just three more correct answers, or avoiding a few careless mistakes.
