Alternative Medicine

Hi.

For J.S.S. Institute of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences (JSS‑INYS), there is no publicly published “fixed cutoff marks” for government‑quota admissions that applies every year. What the institute specifies instead is an eligibility criterion.

 What is known (Eligibility / Minimum Marks)

To be eligible, candidates must have completed 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) / or Botany & Zoology in science stream.

They must obtain at least 50% marks (aggregate) in the science subjects (PCB or Botany/Zoology + Chemistry + Physics) in 10+2 (or equivalent) for general category.

For reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC etc.), generally lower thresholds may apply as per norms (though JSS‑INYS's publicly available eligibility page does not explicitly mention different percent‑thresholds for reserved categories). 

So passing 10+2 in science with ≥50% in PCB (for general category) is the baseline eligibility standard for getting considered under government quota at JSS‑INYS.

Hi.

Yes — students of Unani medicine are taught about the history and philosophy of Unani medicine as an integral part of their curriculum. Let me break it down clearly:

Students learn the origin and evolution of Unani medicine, including:

Its roots in Greek medicine (Hippocrates and Galen)

Development through Arab and Persian scholars

Spread and practice in India under Mughal and later periods

This helps students understand the traditional context and cultural significance of Unani therapies.

The curriculum covers the theoretical principles and philosophy behind Unani medicine, including:

Humoral theory (Akhlat) – concept of the four humors: blood, phlegm, yellow bile, black bile

Temperaments (Mizaj) – understanding individual constitution and health

Disease causation (Illat) – why illnesses occur according to Unani principles

Treatment philosophy – balancing humors through regimens, diet, drugs, and therapies

These philosophical foundations guide diagnosis, prescription, and treatment throughout BUMS and PG studies.
