Hello aspirant,

No, in order to get admitted to BAMS in 2025, one must take the National Eligibility and Entrance Test, or NEET.  In India, the main national admission exam for undergraduate medical programs, including BAMS, is NEET. But there are many colleges in India which give admissions to non NEET aspirants.

Hello there,

Yes, NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) is compulsory for admission to BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) across India. It is a mandatory entrance exam for all undergraduate medical courses, including Ayurveda, Homeopathy, and Unani. Without qualifying NEET, you cannot apply for BAMS seats in government or private colleges. The NEET score is used in counseling and seat allocation processes, making it essential to clear NEET with the required cut-off to secure admission.

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.
