What is Homeopathy?: Course Fees 2026, Subjects, Top Colleges, Admissions

After 12th students can choose from many Homeopathy courses that depends on their career goals and NEET scores. Most popular and recognised one is Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery in short it is known as BHMS which is a 5.5-year undergraduate degree that requires NEET-UG qualification. 

Apart from BHMS, students can also opt for Diploma or certificate courses in Homeopathy which are offered by select institutes and do not require to clear NEET.

Homeopathy courses that can be pursued without NEET are mostly Diploma and certificate-level programs. These are suitable for students who wish to work in supportive roles within field or gain foundational knowledge without becoming licensed practitioners.

Yes you can pursue Homeopathy courses after 12th without NEET but only for diploma or certificate level courses. If you're going for Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) NEET is mandatory in India.

You can apply for short-term Diploma or Certificate courses in Homeopathy usually offered by private institutes. These courses are not equal to BHMS and don't make you a licensed doctor.

But for a full fledged BHMS degree, NEET UG is compulsory as per regulations set by Ministry of AYUSH and National Commission for Homeopathy.

Seat matrix for NEET counselling is important for choice filling process. Before filling and locking seat choices for each round of NEET counselling, candidates must go through seat matrix or seat vacancy and then enter their choices. MCC releases seat matrix prior to commencement of counselling process. This is overall seat matrix for all four rounds of counselling. Candidates participating in Round 1 NEET counselling will have to choose from entire gamut of seats. From second round onwards, seat matrix is released in terms of newly added seats and clear and virtual vacancies. With each round of counselling, number of available seats or vacant seats reduces. 

I will not say, it is impossible. It is possible, but you have work very hard and must give your 200% effort to crack these competitive exams. In my opinion, it is better to take coaching for NEET exam. Coaching makes your exam preparation easier. Sometimes, if you get lots of doubt then you can get it cleared by your tutor who has got subject knowledge.

Students get individual attention at coaching institutes and they focus on learning and development of students as per their requirement. Coaching centers also teach you a lot of tips, tricks and time management that help you to crack NEET exam. But, you have to be careful in choosing a right and resourceful coaching center, as there are many fraud coaching centers that works for money and not for delivering knowledge to students.
