No, you won't get seat with 258 marks in NEET. You should score atleast 320 marks in NEET to get seat in the government college for BHMS. You can actually get a BHMS seat in a good college but it is not possible to get the one in government college.

The fees for BHMS course depends on the college you select or get in the rounds. But it will be not more than BAMS and MBBS courses.
If you have got admission through proper government rounds, you get scholarship according to your caste ( your all certificates should be ready).
