Hello,

However, depending on the kind of college you are talking about, you still have some options. This is a summary:

BAMS

Indeed, with 279 marks, one has a reasonable chance of obtaining a b a MS need in an Uttar Pradesh private institution via up AYUSH counselling, particularly during mapak or stray vacancy rounds. Under the OBC quota, some private AYUSH college except applicants with scores around this range.

BDS

Even if it's challenging in the early rounds, if there are still openings in some private dentistry colleges, you might be admitted in the later rounds.

What You should do:

• Sign up for AYUSH and medical UP state counselling.
• Take part in every round, including the stray vacancy and mop-up round
• Also keep up on cut off and seat availability.
