Medicine & Health Sciences

Please mention the name of the state where you wish to take the admission. This will be better for us to short list the colleges.

For BAMS course you need to appear for different national and state level entrance examination like KLEU, AIET, KLE University,
Andhra Pradesh: EAMCET, Andhra Pradesh Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test.
Assam: CEE, Assam Combined Entrance Examination,
TS EAMCET: Telangana Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test.

There is nothing such as passing marks in NEET. They are qualifying marks, i.e. 50 percentile (118 marks). For a government medical college seat you have to secure at least 530 (all India quota) in NEET. 530 is a safe score but it depends on number of rounds of counselling conducted by MCI. Cutoff may come down, but still try to secure above 510 marks.

Some of the colleges which I can suggest are- Amala Institute of Medical Sciences, Amrita Institute of Medical Science, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Government Medical College, etc.

Both are equally good courses, you have to choose according to your interest only. After doing both courses, you have good job options. You may get both government and private jobs. The only difference is that after doing BPT, you will be designated as a doctor and you can do your own practice and after nursing, you will be known as a nursing sister only but both have good career scope in future.
