Hey, you scored 258 marks in NEET and belong to the OBC category. First of all, congratulations on clearing NEET, that’s a big achievement! Now, talking about government BAMS colleges, getting a seat with 258 marks will be very difficult because the cut-offs for OBC category in government colleges are usually around 450–500 marks. So realistically, admission in government BAMS colleges this year is almost impossible. However, don’t lose hope—there are still options. You can look at private BAMS colleges, where the cut-offs are lower, often around 230–380 marks, which makes admission possible. Another option is to check government or private colleges in other states, though even there 258 marks is quite low. If your goal is specifically government BAMS, you can re-attempt NEET next year and aim for 450+ marks to improve your chances significantly. Meanwhile, participate actively in counselling rounds, explore private colleges seriously, and keep backup options ready. Clearing NEET is already a good start, and with smart planning, you can still move forward in your BAMS journey.

With 258 marks in NEET (OBC category), chances in a government BAMS college are very low, even under state quota. Usually, cutoffs for OBC in government BAMS go around 350–400+. However, you can still get private BAMS colleges or semi-government ones depending on your state.

With 258 marks in NEET 2025 under OBC category, the chances of getting a seat in a government BAMS college are very slim, as government BAMS cut-offs generally range between 420–500+ marks for OBC depending on the state and competition. However, you may still get a seat in private BAMS colleges under OBC quota or state counselling if cut-offs drop. I suggest you apply for both state quota and deemed/private colleges to maximize your chances.
