With 316 marks in NEET and belonging to the SC category, you have a fair chance of getting admission in BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), especially in government or semi-government AYUSH colleges, depending on your state and the cut-off trends.

In previous years, SC category candidates with NEET scores around 280 to 350 have secured BAMS seats in various government and private colleges across different states. The cutoffs vary significantly by state, so your chances will depend on your state of domicile, the number of seats available, and how many SC candidates apply this year.

If you're targeting government BAMS colleges, admission may be competitive, but in many states, SC candidates with 300+ marks have been allotted seats in the second or third rounds of AYUSH counselling. If you're open to private BAMS colleges, then your chances are even better, as most private colleges have lower closing scores for reserved categories.

To improve your chances, you should register for both All India AYUSH counselling (AACCC) and your state AYUSH counselling, list as many colleges as possible, and stay active through all counselling rounds.

So yes, with 316 marks and SC category status, you do have a realistic chance of getting a BAMS seat, particularly if you are flexible with the choice of college and participate in every round of counselling.

All the best!
