Hello there,

With 60 marks in KCET and 231/300 in PCM from the Karnataka board, getting a BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) seat is difficult through KCET , especially in government colleges , as BAMS admissions are mainly through NEET , not KCET.

Here's what you should know:

• BAMS admission is based on NEET score , not KCET.
  
  

• KCET is for engineering, agriculture, and some other professional courses—not medical.
  
  

• If you didn’t appear for NEET, you cannot get a BAMS seat under the regular process.

You can explore alternative courses under AYUSH only if you've written NEET or consider related fields like B.Sc. in allied health sciences.

I would recommend you to use the KCET College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

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.

• With 201 marks, you might get a government college in some states, but it's not guaranteed.
