What 540 marks means for you
A government MBBS seat through All India Quota or your state quota is realistic for General students. 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 (550) would move you to about rank 18,117, which is 5,394 places higher. In NEET that's just three more correct answers, or avoiding a few careless mistakes.
