Bams without neet and with neet
good afternoon, for admission to BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) in India, the NEET UG exam is the primary and mandatory entrance test for most colleges both government and private.
NEET UG is conducted by NTA and is the only accepted exam for BAMS admission under the Ministry of AYUSH guidelines2.
Admission is granted through central (AACCC) and state-level counseling based on NEET scores.
No other national-level exam is accepted for BAMS in regular colleges.
A few deemed universities or minority institutions may offer BAMS seats without NEET, often through management quota or direct admission, but these are limited and not widely recognized.
Some state-level entrance exams (like CETs) used to exist but have largely been phased out in favor of NEET.
