Hello student. 298 is not a higher number. SO there are chances for you to get through SCSM pune. According to previous year cut offs and all there are higher chances.

Since every year, it depends on various factors such as number of students giving the exam, number of students attending the counselling etc so on and so forth. People would definitely drop after getting admission in the college they aspire. So you have pretty good chances. At the same time apply for other colleges too.
