With 420 marks in NEET, it may be tough to get a government college for BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), but not out of reach. Government college cutoffs differ from state to state, category to category, and year to year.

With a NEET score of 388, getting admission in a government college for the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) course is difficult, as government colleges have higher cutoffs. But private colleges have lower cutoffs, so your chances of getting admission are higher. For example, in Maharashtra, the BAMS cutoff in private colleges for the general category has been approximately 162 marks.

To obtain admission into a government college for a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) program, you have to take the NEET UG exam since it is the compulsory entrance test for AYUSH courses in India. Following qualification, applicants have to attend state or All India counseling by the AYUSH Admission Central Counseling Committee (AACCC) or concerned state authorities. Admission is done through NEET rank, category reservation, and seat availability. Government BAMS colleges have higher cutoffs, and hence a good score is important. For counseling information, see aaccc.gov.in or state-specific counseling websites.

As of the admission cycle in 2024, admission to the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) course at Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Pune, involves having a certain cutoff rank in the NEET as per the specifications. For General category students, the closing rank was around 71,299.

With 174 marks in NEET 2024, you can hope to get a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) seat in private Ayurvedic colleges, particularly under management or NRI quota. Government Ayurvedic colleges generally have higher cutoffs, even for the reserved categories.

Having scored 241 marks in NEET 2024 in the SC category, you stand a good chance of being allotted a seat in some government or private Ayurvedic college through state counseling. Government colleges have generally higher cutoffs, but you could be allotted a seat in those states where the SC cutoff is lower.

With a NEET 2024 score of 398, you stand a decent chance of getting admission into BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery), BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery), or BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) courses in Jammu and surrounding states.

With a NEET score of 347 and as an OBC candidate in Maharashtra, you satisfy the eligibility requirement for BAMS and BHMS courses since the cutoff for candidates from the OBC category generally falls around the 40th percentile. Even so, in government colleges it may be difficult to get admitted with higher marks being the deciding factor.

With a NEET score of 307 in 2024, your daughter might be struggling to find a seat in MBBS or BDS courses in government colleges because of heavy competition and cutoffs. But she has a hope in private medical or dental colleges, though there will be a high fee structure. For BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), the cutoff marks are lower than for MBBS and BDS, so she might have a greater possibility of admission in BAMS. It's better to see the particular cutoffs for various institutions and look into private options too.
