Hi Harshita,

Yes, BNYS is a good prospect right now, especially since people are shifting more toward holistic and natural healthcare sources. The high level of wellness awareness, preventive care awareness, and alternative therapies such as naturopathy and yoga therapy has grown immensely, resulting in demand for qualified BNYS practitioners. With a BNYS degree, graduates may work with naturopathy clinics, wellness clinics, spas, yoga studios, or even in combination with hospitals that provide them as a complementary treatment to conventional medicine.

Furthermore, BNYS graduates also practice as health consultants, in research positions, as instructors, or begin working in private practices. With the rise of lifestyle diseases, we should remember that people's interest in natural healing modalities and yoga-based therapies keeps on rising, limiting the scope of opportunity for BNYS practitioners and overall promising a career for passionate holistic health individualism.

With a KCET 2025 rank of 23,500 for BNYS, you have good chances in these private colleges:

1. Alva’s College, Moodbidri

2. Sushrutha Institute, Bangalore

3. Sharada College, Mangalore

4. SDM Ujire (possible via reserved/management quota)

5. SDM Hassan

Tip: Apply in all counseling rounds and consider management quota if needed. Keep checking KEA website for updates.

Hello there,

With a rank of 129,645 in BNYS, getting a seat through the government quota in Karnataka is highly unlikely because government colleges usually have much lower cutoff ranks.

However, you may still have a chance to get admission in private BNYS colleges, which often have higher closing ranks or offer direct admission based on other criteria.

It is best to contact private colleges directly to know about their admission process, eligibility, and seat availability.

Also, consider checking BNYS colleges in other states where admission criteria might be different.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello there,

With a KCET 2025 rank of 30,000–40,000 in the SC category , you have a solid shot at securing a BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences) seat under the government quota in Karnataka. Here’s a concise guide with a bit more detail:

1. KCET BNYS Cutoffs (SC Category) : Government quota BNYS cutoffs for SC candidates typically range from 20,000 to 50,000 ranks, based on past trends. Your 30,000–40,000 rank falls comfortably within this, making you highly likely to secure a seat in private colleges with government quota seats.
   
   
   • Government colleges (e.g., Government Naturopathy and Yoga Medical College, Mysuru) have tighter cutoffs (closer to 20,000), but you may qualify in later rounds or mop-up counselling if seats remain.
     
     
2. Colleges Offering BNYS (Government Quota) :
   
   
   • Alva’s College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences, Moodbidri : Strong chance with your rank; popular for BNYS with good facilities.
     
     
   • SDM College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences, Ujire : Likely in rounds 2 or 3, as SC cutoffs often extend to 40,000.
     
     
   • Government Naturopathy and Yoga Medical College, Mysuru : Possible in mop-up rounds, but competitive due to limited seats.
     
     
   • Tapkeshwar Ayurvedic and Naturopathy College, Bengaluru : Another option with slightly higher cutoffs but feasible for SC.
     
     
3. SC Category Benefits :
   • SC candidates require only 40% minimum marks in KCET 2025 (vs. 50% for General), and ~15% of seats are reserved, boosting your odds.
     
     
   • Your rank aligns well with government quota allocations in private colleges, which reserve a portion of seats at subsidized rates.
     
     
4. Government Quota Fees :
   
   
   • Fees are affordable, around Rs. 30,000–50,000/year , compared to private/management quota (Rs. 2–3 lakh/year).
     
     
   • Confirm exact fees and seat availability on cetonline.karnataka.gov.in during counselling.
     
     
5. Counselling and Admission :
   
   
   • KCET 2025 counselling is expected to start in August–September 2025 via cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
     
     
   • Steps: Register, verify documents (SC certificate, income certificate, KCET scorecard), and prioritize BNYS government quota seats during choice filling.
     
     
   • Participate in all rounds, including mop-up, to maximize chances.
     
     
6. Career Prospects :
   
   
   • BNYS graduates can work as naturopathy doctors, wellness consultants, or yoga therapists in clinics, hospitals, or wellness centers.
     
     
   • Starting salary: Rs. 3–6 lakh/year, with growth in private practice or corporate wellness roles.
