What is Management Quota and NRI Quota in BAMS admission?
Management Quota BAMS seats are allotted directly by private/deemed colleges (outside state counselling) at a higher fee, typically for NEET-qualified candidates who didn't get a state-quota seat. NRI Quota BAMS seats are reserved for NRI/foreign-national sponsored candidates, usually at a separate (often USD-denominated) fee structure. Both routes still require a valid NEET-UG qualification.
