NEET and BAMS Admission
NEET is mandatory for BAMS admissions since 2020 as per Supreme Court and NMC/CCIM directives. Karnataka AYUSH counselling is managed by KEA separately from MBBS counselling. After qualifying NEET, candidates register for KEA's AYUSH counselling to participate in BAMS seat allocation at Karnataka AYUSH colleges. The KEA portal publishes NEET rank cutoffs for BAMS seats at Karnataka private colleges each year. CCIM regulates all BAMS colleges nationally; the BAMS degree is recognised for Ayurveda practice registration with state AYUSH boards.
Hosur Road — Bangalore Location
The college's Hosur Road (NH-44 South) location in Bangalore places it on one of Bangalore's busiest arterial roads connecting Electronic City and the city centre. This Bangalore location gives BAMS students access to the city's growing Ayurveda and wellness industry — clinics, wellness centres, Ayurveda hospitals and pharmaceutical companies that manufacture Ayurvedic formulations. Bangalore's large urban population increasingly seeks Ayurveda and integrative medicine, creating a growing clinical practice market for BAMS graduates in the city.
BAMS Career Scope
BAMS graduates register with the Karnataka Ayurveda Medical Council after completing one year compulsory internship. Career pathways include independent Ayurveda clinical practice, AYUSH government medical officer positions (Karnataka and central government conduct AYUSH officer recruitment), postgraduate MD/MS Ayurveda through NEET-PG AYUSH, Ayurvedic pharmaceutical industry roles and wellness and spa industry medical director positions. Bangalore's wellness and integrative healthcare sector provides strong BAMS employment opportunities in consultation, panchakarma therapy centres and corporate wellness programmes.
Students seeking admission to PG Ayurvedic Medical College should verify current NEET rank requirements and fee structure through the KEA AYUSH portal before applying.
