With a NEET score of 350+ and belonging to the SC category, you have a reasonable chance of securing admission to a government college for BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), but it will depend on the specific state's cutoff and the number of available seats. Government colleges in states with lower cutoff ranks for SC candidates might offer you a seat, particularly in less competitive or rural regions. However, top government colleges generally have higher cutoffs. You should participate in the NEET counseling process, and after reviewing the seat allotment and cutoff trends for BAMS, you can assess the colleges where you might secure admission.

With a NEET score of around 530, you may have the opportunity to secure admission to a medical college, but affordability depends on the type of college. Government medical colleges typically have lower tuition fees, and with your score, you might be eligible for admission under the All India Quota (AIQ) or state quota in some state-run colleges, especially in less competitive states. The fee structure in these colleges is generally more affordable compared to private institutions. However, private medical colleges may also be an option, though they tend to have higher fees, especially for management or NRI quota seats. You should participate in the NEET counseling process and check the cutoffs for different colleges to find the most affordable options based on your rank.
