With 51% in NEET and 58% in 12th, getting a seat in BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) in a government college could be tough because of the competitive scenario and higher cutoffs. But you can look for private Homeopathic Medical Colleges around Solapur, e.g., Dr. DY Patil Homeopathic Medical College, Pune, Rishikul Homeopathic Medical College, Pune, and Bharati Vidyapeeth Homeopathic Medical College, Pune.

If you don't appear in the NEET exam or you are not eligible, going for DHMS (Diploma in Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) is the best choice. DHMS is a 4-year Diploma degree in homeopathy with subjects Materia Medica, Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Homeopathic Pharmacy.

The migration from BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) to MBBS is not allowed in India under normal circumstances since both the courses deal with distinct medical fields. But you can resume MBBS from the beginning by clearing NEET-UG once more and getting admitted in an MBBS college. Transfers among health Science courses may be allowed in private universities, but government medical colleges never facilitate direct migration from BHMS to MBBS. If you want to do MBBS, your best choice is to appear for NEET once more, pass with a good score, and apply for MBBS admission through regular counseling.

The BHMS salary may rise to INR 5,50,000. BHMS professionals with over 5 years of experience typically get more than INR 6,50,000 annually. The BHMS salary per month starts from INR 20,000 per month. The monthly salary of BHMS graduates may vary between INR 35,000 - INR 55,000.

In Khandwa, the Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) course is available through the Nandkumar Singh Chouhan Government Medical College.
