Am I eligible for National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences to pursue MSc. Neuroscience?

NIMHANS Provides about 10 seats for. Neurosurgery (6-year) courses. The entry is through the INI-CET exam conducted by AIIMS. For the general category, the cutoff rank has been around 68 (air) in recent years.
