Hello there,

With 297 marks in NEET and being in the OBC category, your chances of getting admission to a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) course in Maharashtra depend on the cutoff for that year, which can vary.

For semi-government or private colleges in Maharashtra, it is more likely that you will secure a seat compared to government colleges, especially in private BAMS colleges . Here are a few points to consider:

1. Government Colleges : Securing a seat in government colleges might be difficult with 297 marks in the open category, but OBC category reservation could improve your chances, depending on the cutoff for that year.
   
   

2. Semi-Government Colleges : Semi-government institutions might have slightly lower cutoffs than full government colleges, so you may have a chance if you participate in the state counseling process.
   
   

3. Private Colleges : Private BAMS colleges in Maharashtra generally have lower cutoffs, and with your score, it is likely that you can secure admission, though the fees will be higher compared to government colleges.

The final determination will depend on the NEET cutoff for the BAMS course in Maharashtra for the year 2024, as well as the availability of seats and your category ranking. You should keep an eye on the official counseling rounds for the most up-to-date information on seat allocation.
