First, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria, including NEET qualification and any domicile requirements specified by IGIMS. Next, you should regularly check the IGIMS admission notifications, as they provide details about the counselling schedule, application process, and required documents. You will need to apply online through the IGIMS portal, submitting your NEET scorecard, OBC certificate, and other necessary documents. After submission, IGIMS will release a merit list based on NEET scores, and seats will be allotted according to rank, category, and availability. If you are allotted a seat, you must report to the college with all documents to complete the admission process.

Hey, since your NEET score is 452 under OBC and you’re from Kerala, you can apply for BPT counselling at IGIMS through the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling conducted by MCC. IGIMS is a central institute, so admissions are usually through AIQ rather than state quota. You’ll need to register online on the official MCC counselling website when the process begins, fill your choices, and select IGIMS for BPT. Also, make sure to check the official IGIMS website for any separate notifications regarding BPT admissions, as sometimes institutes release their own forms or eligibility criteria. Keep your documents ready (NEET scorecard, category certificate, domicile, etc.) because verification is mandatory during counselling. With 452 marks in OBC, you have a fair chance but it will depend on the cut-off trends of the year. My advice: keep an eye on MCC counselling updates and IGIMS notices simultaneously to not miss any opportunity.

Usually, the process kicks off right after the entrance exam results are declared often between April and May. However, exact dates can vary depending on the state or the institute organizing the counselling.

To be sure, it's best to keep an eye on the official website of the college or university you're interested in, as they'll publish the exact registration and counselling timelines.

It's will mostly happen in April to June you need to check their official website you need appear for neet , cuet for bpt counseling based on your mark scored and merit list seats will be allocated but some of the institution will start early in March to buy most of the institution are starting the process in April to June stay updated with their official website if you are looking for any specific college

Bpt admission is usually happens based on your qualification like you have passed in 12th standard and should have 50 percentage above and you need to appear for neet exam this admission is completely based on merit mark list if you are looking for any specific college track their official website

Hi Lakshay,

With your NEET score of 276 and AIR of around 5.14 lakh, getting a government BAMS seat in top-tier institutions might be difficult. However, you can still secure admission in reputed private colleges within your budget of 10 lakh for the full course.

If you are interested in holistic and traditional medicine, BAMS is an excellent option, especially with the increasing global interest in Ayurveda. For rehabilitation and sports medicine careers, BPT (Physiotherapy) offers strong scope, while BSc Nursing provides high demand both in India and abroad, particularly if you aim for an international career.

Here are some college suggestions for each course:

BAMS (Ayurveda) – Private Colleges under 10 lakh (Approx.):

1. National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, Rajasthan (Semi-Govt., affordable fees)

2. Ayurvedic & Unani Tibbia College, Delhi

Hello,

Securing a 56,000 rank in KCET does make it a bit challenging to get admission to a top government college for BPT , as the cut-offs for popular government institutions are generally much lower. However, there is still a good chance to get a seat in private colleges, especially if you are open to exploring options outside Bengaluru city or in less competitive districts. The availability of seats also depends on the category you belong to, as OBC/SC/ST candidates often have some relaxation in cut-offs. You can also consider management quota seats if finances allow, as they don’t strictly depend on your KCET rank. My advice would be to participate in all counselling rounds, as sometimes seats open up in later phases. Additionally, keep a backup plan in related fields like B.Sc. Physiotherapy or Allied Health Sciences.
