Hello Basu,

With a NEET score of 298 in the ST category , your chances of securing an MBBS seat in a government college are challenging, but not entirely impossible. Here are some points to consider:

1. Previous Years' Cut-offs : Typically, the cut-off scores for MBBS admissions in government colleges for ST category students tend to be lower than those for the general category. However, last year, many states had cut-offs around 350-400 for ST candidates, which indicates that your score might be below the required threshold in many cases.
   
   

2. State-Specific Variations : Admission cut-offs can vary significantly based on the state you are applying to. Some states may have reserved seats and lower cut-offs for ST candidates, increasing your chances. It's essential to check the specific cut-off trends for the state where you wish to apply.
   
   

3. Counseling Process : Participating in the counseling process is crucial. Even if you do not secure a seat in the first round, subsequent rounds may have unfilled seats where your score might be competitive.
   
   

4. Private Colleges : If government colleges seem out of reach, consider private medical colleges that may have lower cut-offs. Some of these colleges might also offer management quota seats, although the fees can be higher.

For the most accurate and updated information, it's advisable to check your state's medical counseling website and review the cut-off trends for the previous years.
