With 329 marks in NEET, you may not get a fully free seat in medicine, such as MBBS, in government colleges as the cutoffs are higher. You may qualify for BAMS (Ayurveda), BHMS (Homeopathy), BUMS (Unani), or BVSc (Veterinary Science) in government or semi-government institutions depending on your category and state quota.

Check out state-wise NEET counseling portals for more details on options and cutoffs available.
