With 242 marks in NEET 2025 (SC category), you are not eligible for a government BAMS seat in Maharashtra, as the cutoff is usually 450+.

However, you may get a seat in private BAMS colleges through state counselling or management quota.

Dear student,

With a NEET 2025 score of 242 and belonging to the SC category , your chances of getting a government BAMS seat in Maharashtra are quite low.

The qualifying marks for SC candidates are usually between 113–143 , so you've cleared that. But for actual admission to a government BAMS college , the cutoff for SC has typically been above 350 marks in recent years. So, 242 is well below what’s usually needed.

That said, you're eligible for counselling , and you may have some chances in private BAMS colleges , where cutoffs are lower. It's a good idea to apply there and keep an eye on the state counselling rounds.

Hello aspirant,

The cut off marks for reserved categories in BAMS admission is 300 to 450 which is higher than your score. So, your chances of getting in government Ayurvedic college in Maharashtra is very less. You should look out for other courses like homeopathy or physiotherapy.

Best of luck for your future.
