can a candidate with 2.88 lakh rank obc(ncl) category get admission in government bams seat

Hello

With a rank of 2 lakh above, your chance for an AIQ government BAMS seat is virtually nil.

However, there is a slim possibility of admission through state-level AYUSH counselling in less competitive or newly opened government Ayurvedic colleges, especially if your state has large reserved seats and fewer applicants. But even these typically close below rank 3 to 4 lakh, so it remains uncertain.

Rank 2.88 lakh in OBC NCL is not competitive enough for most government BAMS colleges.

Unless you secure NEET marks above 150 to 160, with a rank within 1 to 3 lakh, admission in a government institution remains unlikely.

I suggest you participate in state counselling rounds – some state quota seats in smaller government colleges may still be available.

Also consider private or management quota seats in BAMS colleges — these are more flexible with NEET ranks but come with higher fees.

Hello Khushi,

Being ranked 2.88 lakh in the OBC (NCL) category, it is very hard to get a government BAMS seat through All India Quota (AIQ) though there is a slight chance in a few states under the State quota in less competitive areas unless the candidate is a domicile resident of that state or belongs to a rural area. Note that cutoff varies every year based on seat availability, difficulty level, and applicant's trend; hence it is important for the candidate to check previous year State-wise cutoffs. To improve options available to the candidate:

• Private BAMS colleges with lower fees under state quota.
• AYUSH counselling rounds including mop-up rounds and stray vacancy rounds.
