Quick answer: Jamia Hamdard’s School of Unani Medicine offers 50 BUMS seats. The course is 5.5 years (4.5 years plus a one-year internship), the fee is about ₹1.5–1.8 lakh per year (≈₹6.6 lakh total on regular seats; roughly ₹14.9 lakh total on NRI/self-financed seats), and admission is through NEET-UG followed by AACCC AYUSH counselling for the deemed-university quota. There is one requirement most applicants miss: Urdu at Class X level, proved by a certificate or by passing the university’s Urdu test.
BUMS is not MBBS — and why low-NEET candidates search for it
BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery) leads to registration as a Unani practitioner under the NCISM, not an allopathic MBBS licence. It is popular with candidates in the 150–350 NEET band because the cutoff is far below any MBBS seat and the total fee is a fraction of a private MBBS. If your goal is MBBS specifically, compare the private MBBS options at your score before choosing.
