General Guideline for BAMS Colleges (2024-2025)

Admission for BAMS in most college, be it government or a private one is done on the basis of your score in NEET UG . You just have to qualify the NEET exam and then take part in the state-level AYUSH counseling to get admission.

Government universities have very low cost compared to private universities. However, private colleges can have a greater number of seats and may have tie-ups for internships/placements (although it varies a lot).

BAMS placements are usually working as an Ayurvedic doctor in private clinics, government AYUSH hospitals, wellness centers, or even continuing with higher studies (MD in Ayurveda). Freshers' salary can be anything between INR 20,000 to INR 50,000 per month that increases with experience and specialization. Entrepreneurship (starting own clinic) is also a popular career option for BAMS graduates.
