Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, BAMS cut-offs can go down or up from year to year; they’re not fixed. Cut-offs are driven by several changing factors: the difficulty of the entrance exam (NEET score distribution), the number of applicants, total seats available in government and private Ayurvedic colleges, category-wise reservation rules, and whether newer colleges open or close seats. Typical year-to-year swings are modest — in many states you’ll see movement of a few marks up or down (say 5–25 marks) — but in unusual years (sharp change in exam difficulty or sudden seat increase), the change can be larger. Government college seats are more competitive and their cut-offs stay relatively higher and stable; private college cut-offs are usually lower and more variable. What matters more than trying to predict an exact decrease is being strategic: check last 3–5 years’ closing marks for your state and for each college you want, keep an eye on category-specific closing marks (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), and be prepared to participate in all counselling rounds (initial, mop-up, stray) because seat movement often happens later.

Best of luck,

Hey Aspirant!

Yes,the BAMS cut-off is expected to decrease this year. The main reasons are that NEET scores overall are a bit lower compared to last year and the AYUSh authorities had already reduced the qualifying percentile, because of this, cutoffs are expected to drop.On average the decrease may be around 30-60 marks depending on your state, category, type of college(govt or private) and Counselling round .However the exact cut-off will only be clear once round-wise lists are released .

Here's the qualifying cutoffs for BAMS:
