Hello there,

With a NEET score of 347 and an AIR of 496,119 in the SC category from Maharashtra, your chances of securing a seat in a government college for MBBS, BDS, or BAMS are quite limited, but there are a few things to consider:

1. Government College Cut-offs:

• MBBS: Generally, government medical colleges have cut-offs significantly higher than 347 marks. For SC candidates, it might be lower than the general cut-off, but it's typically above 400-450 marks in most states.
  
  
• BDS: Similar to MBBS, the cut-off for BDS in government colleges is usually also higher, often around 350-400 marks.
  
  
• BAMS: The cut-off for BAMS programs may be slightly lower than for MBBS/BDS, but it still tends to be competitive.
  
  2. Possible Options:
  
  
• While government seats may be difficult to obtain, you could explore:
  
  
  • Private Colleges: Some private medical and dental colleges might have lower cut-offs, but they often come with higher tuition fees.
    
    
  • Other Courses: Consider pursuing allied health sciences or courses like BHMS, nursing, or paramedics if you're open to alternative paths in the healthcare sector.
    
    3. Counseling Process:
    
    
• Participate in the counseling process diligently. Sometimes, last-minute vacancies or other factors may allow for unexpected opportunities.
  
  

Given your current score, securing a government seat for MBBS, BDS, or BAMS may be challenging. However, it’s crucial to remain proactive during the counseling process and explore all available options, including private colleges and alternative courses in the healthcare field.
