Hello there,

With a score of 490 in NEET 2024, you have a decent chance of securing a BAMS seat in a government or government-aided college in Maharashtra. The cutoffs vary yearly, but generally, for BAMS courses, a score above 450 can place you within the selection range for government institutions, particularly if you belong to a reserved category. Here’s what you should consider:

1. State Quota : Maharashtra’s state quota seats are more accessible to Maharashtra domicile holders. With your score, you stand a good chance for BAMS in government colleges under this quota.
   
   

2. Category : If you belong to a reserved category, your chances increase as the cutoff is typically lower.
   
   

3. Counseling : Participate in Maharashtra’s AYUSH counseling process and select government BAMS colleges as your top preferences.

While your score is promising, it’s best to keep track of the cutoff trends during counseling to improve your chances.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
