Well ! It's difficult to take admission through state quota or All India quota as your marks is 130 which is quite low. But you can go for Management quota, just contact the college and discuus. You may get the admission through management quota.

Definitely yes. To get admission in BHMS in India, 370 is good enough marks. One can even get admitted with only qualifying marks if belongs to Maharashtra.

Yes, a BHMS graduate can open a homeopathic clinic after completing their degree and internship. They must register with the State or Central Homeopathy Council to obtain a valid practice license.
Additionally, they need to fulfill legal formalities such as acquiring a clinic establishment certificate, following medical ethics, and ensuring compliance with local health regulations. Some states may require renewal of registration periodically. With proper setup and licensing, BHMS graduates can run successful homeopathy clinics.

Each medical system has a unique approach to treatment, diagnosis, and patient care. Homeopathy relies on the principle of "similia similibus curentur", Ayurveda follows a dosha-based balance system, while Allopathy uses modern drugs and surgeries for disease management.
Aspect | Homeopathy | Ayurveda | Allopathy |
|---|---|---|---|
Principle | Like cures like (Similia Similibus Curentur) | Balancing the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) | Treats symptoms using drugs and surgery |
Treatment Approach | Highly diluted natural remedies | Herbal medicines, diet, lifestyle changes | Synthetic drugs, antibiotics, surgical interventions |
Disease Focus | Chronic and lifestyle diseases | Preventive and curative treatments | Acute, chronic, emergency conditions |
Side Effects | Minimal due to high dilution | Rare but possible with improper dosage | Can have side effects due to chemical-based drugs |
Regulation & Research | Limited scientific validation | Traditional and WHO-recognized | Strong research backing and global standardization |

- Acute Homeopathy – Remedies for short-term illnesses like colds, fevers, and injuries.
- Miasmatic Treatment – Addresses inherited or chronic diseases like tuberculosis and syphilis.
- Therapeutic Homeopathy – Focuses on disease-specific remedies for conditions like arthritis, asthma, and allergi
