Dear Aspirant, the BHMS course has a compulsion tenure of 5.5 years. The degree of 5.5 years is taken into consideration. It includes compulsory rotatory internship of 1 year after passing the final exam. So there is a chance the college is not including the internship period. You can check on the official website of national health portal of India which is https://www.nhp.gov.in/course-details_mtl#:~:text=Course%20of%20Study,passing%20the%20final%20degree%20examination. Hope this was helpful.
