Nearly two million students appeared for NEET this year.
More than half qualified.
But the heavily subsidised government medical colleges, where an entire medical degree can cost less than 30,000 rupees (about $313; £235) have room for fewer than 6% of those who qualify - or under 3% of everyone who takes the examination.
Candidates who miss out often face private college fees running into tens or even hundreds of thousands of rupees.
