Hi Anita,

Usually, the cut off for BAMS Government colleges is above 450. I suggest you to apply for private colleges as they offer lower cut offs that should sit around your score.

Top private colleges for BAMS are:

1) Bharati Vidyapeeth University

2) D.Y Patil college of Ayurveda

3) Patanjali Ayurveda College

Hello

Yes, BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) is now being introduced in some army-affiliated private medical colleges.

One such institution is the Army College of Medical Sciences (ACMS) in New Delhi, which is supported by the Indian Army through the Army Welfare Education Society (AWES). ACMS is primarily known for its MBBS program, but as per recent updates, it is starting a BAMS course from October 2024.

This program is affiliated with Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), with a course duration of five years and instruction in English. Admission requires NEET qualification, and candidates must be wards of serving or retired Army personnel.

This makes ACMS one of the few military-run institutions offering both allopathic and Ayurvedic medical education.

With a NEET score of 320, and as an OBC candidate in Maharashtra, your chances of securing a government BAMS seat are slim, but not impossible. For government BAMS colleges in Maharashtra, OBC candidates typically need to score 440+ in NEET UG. While 320 might not be enough for a government seat, it could be competitive for private BAMS colleges, which may accept lower scores.

Factors Influencing BAMS Admissions:

NEET Score:

The minimum qualifying score for BAMS varies by category and state. For government colleges, OBC candidates typically need higher scores.

State Quota:

Maharashtra has its own state quota for admissions, which can influence the cutoff scores.

College Type:

Government BAMS colleges have higher cutoff scores compared to private BAMS colleges.

Seat Availability:

The number of BAMS seats in government colleges is limited, and competition can be high, especially for OBC candidates.

Hello aspirant,

This choice is mostly offered by private MBBS medical schools, where spots are only available to applicants who are prepared to pay a higher tuition.  Even with the lowest NEET score, direct MBBS admission through management quota is the best option for admission.
According to the Central Council of Indian Medicine's (CCIM) notification, any private BAMS college may use 15% of the total number of seats available for direct admission.  Therefore, there should be no hesitancy in using the management quota for BAMS admission.

Thank you
