The KEA BAMS 2025 Round-1 cut off for Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) Quota has been released, giving aspirants from HK districts (Bidar, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal, Bellary) an exclusive pathway to secure BAMS seats at lower marks compared to General (G) quota.

This article provides a complete category-wise and college-wise HK Quota cut off 2025 for Government and Private Ayurvedic colleges in Karnataka, along with a safe score roadmap and Round-2/Mop-Up strategy.


Understanding HK Quota in KEA Counselling

The Hyderabad-Karnataka Quota (now officially 371-J quota) is reserved for eligible candidates from HK districts. In KEA cut off tables, it appears as 1H, 2AH, 2BH, 3AH, 3BH, GMH, etc.

  • GMH: General Merit – Hyderabad-Karnataka
  • 1H, 2AH, 2BH, 3AH, 3BH: Category-based HK quotas
  • SCH, STH: SC/ST seats under HK quota

HK candidates can apply for both HK Quota (H) and statewide G Quota, giving them double opportunities in KEA counselling.


Government Ayurvedic Colleges – HK Quota Cut Off 2025

Government Ayurvedic colleges remained the most competitive even under HK Quota, but with slightly lower marks than GM (statewide).

  • GAMC Bengaluru (HK): GMH closing around 445–452 marks.
  • GAMC Mysuru: GMH ~442–448 marks.
  • GAMC Shivamogga & Hassan campuses: GMH ~435–445 marks.
  • Taranath AMC, Ballari (HK district): Slight relaxation, GMH ~430–438 marks.

SC/ST HK categories (SCH/STH) closed as low as 300–360 marks, offering a strong advantage.


Private BAMS Colleges in HK Region – HK Quota Cut Off

Top private colleges in Kalaburagi, Bellary, Raichur, Bidar, and Koppal admitted students at much lower HK quota cut offs compared to G quota:

Lowest BAMS Cut Off Colleges in Karnataka (HK Quota)

If your NEET 2025 score is 360–400, you have realistic chances through HK quota. Examples:

  • Newer private BAMS institutions in Kalaburagi cluster: Accepted 360+ scores under GMH.
  • Reserved HK seats (SCH, 2AH, 3BH): Admitted candidates even at 350–360 marks.

  • 380–405 Marks: Entry into district-level HK colleges.
  • 360–375 Marks: Possible under GMH or reserved HK categories.

Round-2 & Mop-Up Strategy for HK Quota

The Round-2 and Mop-Up phases often favor HK candidates:

  1. Use Dual Advantage: Apply both under HK Quota (H) and General Quota (G) to widen options.
  2. Preference Depth: List colleges as Govt → Top HK Private → Mid-tier HK → Rural HK.
  3. Mirror Choices: Always repeat preferences under GMH, 1H, 2AH, 3BH, SCH, etc.
  4. Safe Locking: Accept a rural HK college now, but aim for an upgrade in Mop-Up.
