BAMS Admission Guide
SC Category – 300 Marks

SC Category 21% Quota vs General, OBC, ST & EWS Cutoff Dynamics

Under the UP State AYUSH counselling rules, 21% vertical reservation is allocated to Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates across all 9 Government and State-Aided BAMS Colleges as well as central universities like IMS BHU Varanasi and AMU Aligarh. SC category cutoffs typically run 100 to 140 marks lower than unreserved General Category closing ranks (`General ~530+ vs SC ~380–420+`).

To analyze exact round-by-round opening and closing cutoffs across all NEET score bands, explore our dedicated guides: 500+ Marks Government Guide, 450 Marks Strategy, 400 Marks Analysis, and 350 Marks Guide. For other categories, review OBC (27% Quota), ST Quota, and EWS 10% Quota. Also verify tuition fees at Government BAMS College Fee Guide.

Round 1, 2, Mop-Up & Stray Vacancy Dynamics for 300-Mark SC Scorers

If you have scored around `300 NEET marks`, Round 1 and Round 2 of UP AYUSH State Counselling will almost certainly not yield a government seat, as closing cutoffs stay above 380–420+ marks. However, during Mop-Up and Stray Vacancy rounds—or through All India Quota (AIQ 15%) conducted by AACCC—spot vacancies in aided colleges can drop down to ~300–350. Use our BAMS Cutoff Checker, check Official Seat Matrix 2026, and follow our Smart Choice Filling Rules.

21% Reservation, Domicile Verification & Zero Fee Reimbursement

To claim 21% SC reservation under UP State AYUSH rounds, your caste certificate must be issued by a competent UP revenue authority on the prescribed state format, along with a valid UP Domicile certificate. Crucially, under the UP Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme (`scholarship.up.gov.in`), SC candidates whose family income is below `₹2.5 Lakhs per annum` are eligible for 100% tuition fee reimbursement (zero tuition fee study) in NCISM-approved private colleges.

Parallel Private College Backup Roadmap with Scholarship Support

While participating in government spot rounds at `300 marks` (`300-marks-bams-admission.html`), smart SC candidates should fill private BAMS colleges as a safe backup during Round 1 itself. Because SC students receive fee reimbursement, studying in a premier private college costs almost nothing out of pocket!
