Hey there,

With 478 marks and a NEET rank of 242,770 under the General EWS category , you have a decent chance of securing a BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) seat in a government college. Here’s what to expect:

Government BHMS Colleges :

• General EWS Category : Your EWS category status gives you a slight edge, but the competition is still tough. However, many government BHMS colleges have cutoffs that could align with your score, especially in states where BHMS courses are less competitive than MBBS.
  
  

• State-Specific Quotas : Your chances might be higher if your domicile state has lower cutoffs for BHMS or if there are reserved seats under the EWS quota in those colleges.
  
  Counseling Process :
  
  
• State Counseling : Focus on your home state’s counseling process, where your EWS status will be more beneficial.
  
  
• All India Quota : Participating in the All India Quota counseling might open up additional opportunities, though competition is typically higher here.
  
  

With 478 marks and an EWS category ranking, you stand a reasonable chance of getting into a government BHMS college, especially if you target states with lower cutoffs or if you actively engage in state-level counseling where your EWS quota can be advantageous.
