<ul>
<li>SVIMS NEET UG 2025 AIQ cutoff (Round 1, General): NEET score <strong>549</strong>. OBC: 546. SC: 481. ST: 451.</li>

</blockquote>

<h3>How to Apply for MBBS at SVIMS?</h3>

<ul>
<li>Qualify NEET UG and obtain your scorecard from nta.nic.in.</li>

<h3>SVIMS MD and MS Selection Criteria</h3>

<p>Selection is based on NEET PG rank. No separate test or interview is conducted at SVIMS. MD/MS stipends are some of the highest in Andhra Pradesh government institutions.</p>

<ul>
<li>SVIMS MD/MS stipend: <strong>INR 96,951</strong>/month (Year 1), <strong>INR 99,722</strong>/month (Year 2), <strong>INR 1,02,493</strong>/month (Year 3).</li>
