Hello,

If your rank is 126712 in NEET UG 2025, you have a low to moderate chance in the AIR quota, unless you belong to a reserved category. But still you have a good chance in the state quota because state cutoffs are low compared to the AIR, or All India Rank quota. So, you can try for state quota if BDS and BAMS seat in these states are like

• Uttar Pradesh
• Bihar
• Madhya Pradesh
• Chhattisgarh
• Himachal Pradesh
• Odisha

I hope it resolves your query!!

good afternoon, for admission to BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) in India, the NEET UG exam is the primary and mandatory entrance test for most colleges  both government and private.

NEET UG is conducted by NTA and is the only accepted exam for BAMS admission under the Ministry of AYUSH guidelines2.

Admission is granted through central (AACCC) and state-level counseling based on NEET scores.

No other national-level exam is accepted for BAMS in regular colleges.

A few deemed universities or minority institutions may offer BAMS seats without NEET, often through management quota or direct admission, but these are limited and not widely recognized.

Some state-level entrance exams (like CETs) used to exist but have largely been phased out in favor of NEET.

Hello

With an AIR of 267598 in NEET, getting a seat in a government BAMS college is quite difficult, especially in the general category.
However, if you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) and your state has lower cutoffs, there might be a chance in later rounds.

With 120 marks in NEET, getting a BAMS seat in a government college is highly unlikely, even under reserved categories, as the cut-offs for government AYUSH colleges are generally much higher. However, you may still have a chance in private BAMS colleges, especially in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, or Karnataka, where some colleges admit students with lower NEET scores if seats remain vacant in later rounds. Admission through management quota is also possible but will come with higher fees. To improve your chances, participate in the counselling process for both your home state and other states that allow open applications for AYUSH courses.

Cut off for BAMS in government or semi government colleges for OBC category lies in the range of 450 to 410 marks. But your score falls well below the range.

Instead focus on private or semi private BAMS colleges where your score falls within the admission range and attend upto mop up/stray vacancy rounds where low demanding seats are open.

• Luqman Unani and Ayurvedic College, Bijapur, Karnataka
• TMAE Society's Ayurvedic Medical College, Shimoga, Karnataka
• Smt. K. G. Mittal Punarvasu Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Mumbai

These are some BAMS private colleges with Muslim minority facilities.

good afternoon, with 440 score chances are for Government Colleges

Expected EWS cutoff for top government BAMS colleges: 500–600 marks

With 440, you may be on the borderline for lower-tier government colleges or state quota seats in less competitive regions

Private Colleges

EWS cutoff in private colleges: typically ranges from 380–480 marks

Your score of 440 is well within range for many reputable private BAMS institutions

I suggest you to Participate in multiple state counseling rounds (especially in UP, MP, Rajasthan, Bihar)

Use your EWS certificate to claim reservation benefits
