Medicine & Health Sciences

In the medical field, the MBBS course has been more well-liked than the BAMS course. However, with government support, the popularity of the BAMS course is rising in India.

• Course curriculum: In the MBBS, you study human anatomy, pathology, and other clinical dimensions of medicine. You study conventional Ayurvedic Science and its applications in the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS).
• Fees: The fees for the BAMS are comparably lower than the MBBS fee. Even in government colleges, the cost of the MBBS programme can reach 15 Lacs, while the BAMS programme can reach 7 Lacs.
• Job Role: With a BAMS, you can work as an ayurvedic consultant, doctor, or medical officer in the government. Private hospitals and clinics require a master's degree in any area of medicine, including surgery, but you can apply for medical officer jobs in the government after earning your MBBS, such as in UPSC CMS.
• Pay: With a BAMS degree, you can expect to make an average salary of around INR 40,000 per month, whereas an MBBS degree can earn you up to INR 1 Lacs per month. Most students prefer MBBS during NEET counseling if they get good ranks, but these days there is a trend toward preferring BAMS over private MBBS.
