Karnataka BUMS 2025 KEA Round-1 Cut Off: Govt & Private Colleges, Category & Quota-Wise

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the BUMS 2025 Round-1 cut off list. This is crucial for NEET aspirants aiming for Unani medicine (BUMS) seats in both Government and Private colleges across Karnataka.

This blog gives you the college-wise, category-wise, and quota-wise cut off details under General Merit (GM), SC, ST, OBC, HK Quota, Open Quota, and NRI/Others quota. It also includes a marks-to-seat roadmap and a Round-2/Mop-Up counselling strategy.

Karnataka BUMS Colleges Under KEA

Karnataka has Government Unani Medical Colleges as well as reputed Private Unani Institutions, many located in Bengaluru, Bidar, Kalaburagi, Raichur, and other HK districts. KEA counselling distributes seats under:

  • Government Quota (G) – Reserved for Karnataka students.
  • Hyderabad-Karnataka Quota (HK) – For 371-J district candidates.
  • Open Quota (OQ) – Available to all India students.
  • Others/NRI Quota – Higher fee category with relaxed cut offs.

Government BUMS Colleges – KEA Round-1 Cut Off 2025

Government Unani Medical Colleges are the most competitive under KEA. Round-1 2025 data shows:

  • Govt Unani Medical College, Bengaluru (GUMC):
    • GM: ~430–445 marks.
    • OBC (2A/3B): ~400–420 marks.
    • SC: ~320–360 marks.
    • ST: ~300–340 marks.

 Government seats remain highly competitive, needing 400+ marks for GM.

Private BUMS Colleges – KEA Round-1 Cut Off 2025

Private colleges across Karnataka admitted students at lower ranges:

  • Tipu Sultan Unani Medical College, Gulbarga: GM ~370–390 marks.
  • Luqman Unani Medical College, Bijapur: GM ~350–370 marks.
  • Khaja Banda Nawaz (KBN), Kalaburagi: GM ~345–360 marks.
  • Rural/Regional Colleges (Raichur, Bidar, Koppal): GM ~300–340 marks.

 Reserved categories (2A/3B/SC/ST) secured seats 20–40 marks lower than GM.

Open Quota BUMS Seats – For All India Students

Karnataka’s Open Quota allows students from outside Karnataka to compete. Cut offs here were often slightly higher than HK but lower than pure GM:

  • GUMC Bengaluru (Open Quota): ~420–430 marks.
  • Top private BUMS (Kalaburagi/Bidar): 340–370 marks.
  • District-level private: 280–330 marks.

 This quota is highly important for non-Karnataka NEET aspirants.

Hyderabad-Karnataka (HK) Quota BUMS Cut Off 2025

Candidates from HK districts (Bidar, Kalaburagi, Raichur, Yadgir, Bellary, Koppal) benefit from relaxed cut offs:

  • Govt BUMS Colleges (HK quota): GMH ~390–410 marks.
  • Private HK colleges: GMH ~300–350 marks.
  • Reserved HK (SC/ST): 270–320 marks.

 HK Quota is a major advantage, with cut offs dropping by 20–40 marks.

  • Spoorthi Unani, Koppal: ~290–300 marks.
  • Poornima UMC, Raichur: ~285–295 marks.

Round-2 & Mop-Up Counselling Strategy

Many students upgrade or leave seats, making Round-2 and Mop-Up crucial:

  1. Dual Quota Advantage: HK students should apply under both G and H quota.
  2. Safe Locking: Accept a private seat now, but stay eligible for Govt upgrades.
  3. Wide Preferences: Fill Govt → Top Private → Mid-Tier → Rural in order.
  4. Mop-Up Bonus: Cut offs often dip 10–20 marks, especially in rural HK colleges.
