Hi, 

Frankly, 296 is a less score if you want to take admission into a good government college. This year the marks and ranks have risen up and there is less chance for a student to get a seat with this score. But still don't lose hope. Go through the website of college in order to check if your score lies in that range on the basis of which they took admission last year. Or try to score higher in order to get a good college next year. Just work hard and don't lose heart. 

Good Luck!
