BUMS 2025 Admission in India: A Comprehensive Guide

Dr. Nirbhay Kumar

Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS) is one of the most sought-after undergraduate degrees in the field of traditional medicine. Based on the principles of Unani healing — a system that traces its roots to ancient Greece and further developed by Arab and Persian scholars — this medical discipline emphasizes natural remedies, diet, and lifestyle for treatment and prevention of diseases. In recent years, with the revival of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) systems, interest in BUMS has significantly increased.

This guide provides a detailed roadmap for BUMS admission in India in 2025, covering every key aspect including eligibility, entrance exams, counseling procedures, list of colleges, seat availability, NEET 2024 cutoff analysis, and the scope of a career in Unani medicine.
