The Complete Karnataka BAMS Map
4,776 seats. 98 colleges. 3 quotas that work nothing alike. Here's how the seats actually split.
Management quota alone accounts for more than half of Karnataka's BAMS seats — yet it's the path most families never even consider, because nobody tells them it exists.
The Top-Tier Score Myth
Everyone assumes a “good college” means a NEET score near 450+. Here's what Karnataka's 15 Top-tier BAMS colleges actually required last cycle.
The same Top-tier college needed a 466 through one quota — and accepted a 193 through another. Your score decides the quota you should be fighting for, not whether you qualify at all.
The 3 Mistakes That Cost Families a Seat
Chasing AIQ, Missing Management
AIQ is only 20% of all seats and needs the highest score of the three quotas. Management is 53% of every seat in the state — far more accessible — and almost never gets a second look.
Believing Round 1 Is the Final Word
Every one of our 33 tracked colleges still had Round 2 seats open last cycle — 485 combined (151 AIQ + 334 Management) were unfilled after Round 1 alone.
Filling KEA Choices in the Wrong Order
Your preference order in KEA counselling decides what you're actually offered. Rank it wrong and you can lose a round entirely, or lock into a weaker seat than your score deserved.
Understanding Your BAMS Quota Options
in Karnataka
Every BAMS seat in Karnataka — State Quota, All India Quota, Management, or NRI — is allotted through KEA Ayush counselling. The quotas differ in cutoff flexibility and fees, not in whether counselling is required. Here's how they compare.
The Competitive Route
NEET UG mandatory, with a real cutoff rank each round.
Lowest fees of any quota — the most cost-effective route if your rank qualifies.
Cutoff ranks vary by college and round — competitive at Top-tier colleges.
Management / NRI Quota
NEET UG mandatory — but no strict minimum score at most colleges.
Still allotted via KEA counselling — we guide you through registration, choice-filling, and every round.
Realistic path to a Top-tier college even with a modest NEET score.
