Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery [BUMS] (Unani) (Kamil-E-Tibb-O-Jarahat)

Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery, styled Kamil-e-Tibb-o-Jarahat, is an undergraduate professional degree in the Unani system of medicine offered at Aligarh Muslim University in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. The programme trains students in the classical Unani framework built around Kulliyat (basic principles), Munafeul Aza (physiology), Ilmul Advia (pharmacology and materia medica), Tashkeel-e-Marz wa Ilaj (diagnosis and treatment), and Jarahat (surgery), alongside modern subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, community medicine, and basic surgical skills. Teaching moves from classroom study of Unani texts and principles in the early years toward clinical postings, hospital rotations, and supervised patient care later in the course, so graduates leave familiar with both the diagnostic methods unique to Unani medicine, such as pulse and urine examination, and the clinical discipline expected of any medical practitioner. The course suits students who are drawn to traditional and holistic systems of healing but also want a structured, hospital-based clinical education rather than a purely theoretical one. It is particularly relevant for those interested in integrative healthcare, public health in regions where Unani practice has a strong following, and community-level medical service. After completing the degree and any mandatory internship, graduates can register as qualified Unani medical practitioners, work in Unani hospitals, dispensaries and government AYUSH facilities, or continue into postgraduate specialisation within the Unani system. Admission to this programme at Aligarh Muslim University is linked to NEET, with candidates required to clear the relevant qualifying stage before being considered for a seat here. Because the sanctioned intake for this course is a fixed number, the seats are always split by category and quota rather than offered on a first-come basis, and the exact category-wise matrix is issued afresh by the concerned admitting authority for each academic session. Students should treat the official notification released ahead of that year's admission cycle, and not any older document, as the version to rely on when checking how the available seats are distributed.
