BAMS Admission Procedure in Kerala

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) at the state level manages the BAMS admissions in Kerala. It also organizes the Kerala Ayurveda Medical Admission Test (KEAM), a common entrance examination for admission of students into various BAMS colleges across the State.

Admission Quotas

  1. KEAM Entrance Examination

Most admissions are made through the KEAM entrance exam. The scores of candidates in this test will be used to determine their ranks and then they will be allotted different colleges offering BAMS within Kerala depending on these rankings. The majority of BAMS seats in government and aided colleges in Kerala are filled through the KEAM merit list.

  1. NEET Entrance Examination

NEET, which stands for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, is used to get admission to MBBS and BDS courses mostly although some colleges in Kerala accept NEET scores for BAMS admissions too; it is an examination recognized on a national level that covers a wide range of medical programs as well as allied health sciences programs such as BAMS. If they have their NEET score to be above the set limit and meet all standards put forth by the Kerala Government regarding eligibility then candidates can apply for admission in BAMS through this test within Kerala.

  1. Management Quota Admissions

There is a specific amount out of the entire number of seats meant for students under management quota in BAMS also. The colleges themselves are responsible for deciding which students will occupy these seats and managing the process thereof. Applicants must note however, that every college may have different rules when it comes to their management quotas so they should look into what these requirements could be at each institution’s website or office beforehand.

  1. Reservation Quota

Kerala has a thorough reservation system that takes in various categories such as SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), and OBC (Other Backward Classes), among others. Seats are reserved for these categories, and the admission process is based on the NEET score and the respective reservation policies. Those who fall under these groups need to provide documents that can be used as evidence for their eligibility.

  1. NRI Quota

There are few BAMS seats set aside for NRI candidates. Institutions manage the NRI quota admissions separately. Applicants must meet certain requirements under this category which will include submitting necessary papers.

  • Step  1: Registration is done online whereby all candidates must register themselves by filling out the necessary information.
  • Step 2: Candidates should adequately prepare themselves for the NEET/KEAM exam only. The month of May is when the KEAM examination takes place yearly without fail. 
  • Step 3: After the release of a rank list by the NTA/CEE based on the performance of aspirants during NEET/KEAM, they are then supposed to participate in counseling online which is done by them selecting their preferred colleges or courses according to what they want and their ranks too.
  • Step 4: Ranks and choices shall determine seat allocation taking into account reservation policies plus availability therefore it also depends on these two things & importantly on an individual’s rank too if any candidate should get a seat among other things. 
  • Step 5: Finally, those who have been given seats should accept them within the specified time since failure might lead to giving out the same seat to somebody else afterward even after he/she was given but did not take up admission.
