Hi.
No, prior experience or knowledge in traditional medicine is generally required for Unani PG courses.
Basic requirement: You must have completed BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery) from a recognised institution.
Why BUMS matters: The MD/MS in Unani builds on the foundational knowledge gained during the BUMS program.
NEET-PG / University entrance: Most institutions require you to qualify NEET-PG (for medical PG admissions in India) or their own university PG entrance, depending on the college.

Yes, most Unani postgraduate programs require candidates to have a BUMS degree or equivalent as a prerequisite. Prior knowledge ensures students understand core Unani principles, clinical practices, and therapeutic methods.
This background is essential for advanced study, specialization, and research in areas such as pharmacology, surgery, or internal medicine within Unani. Students without this foundation are usually ineligible for PG admission.
