You could go for lateral entry, but you should ensure that you block your seat at SMU. Lateral entry is normally granted to students who have a good academic record. You should check with admission authorities if you are eligible for lateral admission and then proceed further.

Of course you can pursue medical course in Karnataka.
The procedure is simple first, appear for KCET and NEET. If you qualify the NEET with good rank then you will be eligible for KCET medical seat rounds.
This rule is implemented from 2017.

Both the fields have their own importance. One cannot decide which field is better, unless you decide.
First preference is your interest area. Then later comes the pay scale. See, if you want to your salary to be good, then choose B.Pharmacy rather than BAMS Doctor.
If I was in your place I would have chosen BAMS Doctor. The behind reason is that I know this field better and I'm interested in it too.

Hi,
In terms of normal medical shop's earnings. It depends upon factors like the location of the shop (if near hospital, you earn well enough) (If your medical shop is located between other medical shop, then there would be too much competition among you). Also the popularity of the shop matters too.
One of my friend's father owns a medical shop. He earns around 12,000/day.
His shop is located in the square corner of the road in the city. Most importantly, in that area no other medical shop is located, apart his.
