You scored 201 marks in your first attempt. Getting a government college depends on the course you choose and the cutoff in your state.

• For courses like BAMS, BHMS, BDS, the cutoff is usually higher.
  
  

• With 201 marks, you might get a government college in some states, but it's not guaranteed.
  
  

• Check the official counseling website of your state for exact cutoff details.

Hello,

The lowest marks to get admission in BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) can vary a lot depending on the college and state.

Usually, you need to clear the NEET exam with a minimum qualifying score. The general cut-off is around 50th percentile for general category, but for reserved categories, it is lower.

In terms of percentage, usually around 50-60% in NEET can get you admission in government or good private colleges, but this changes every year.

So, to sum up:

• Clear NEET with minimum qualifying marks (about 50th percentile for general).

• More marks mean better chances and better colleges.

If you want details for a particular state or college, I can help with that too.

Hope it helps !
