The age limit for pursuing a BAMS course in India is generally between 17 to 25 years at the time of admission. However, for candidates belonging to reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC), the upper age limit may be relaxed by 5 years, making it 30 years. The minimum age requirement is 17 years as of December 31 in the year of admission. These age criteria are primarily applicable to admissions through NEET, which is mandatory for BAMS admission in India.

Yes, BAMS doctors use stethoscopes as part of their clinical practice. The BAMS curriculum includes training in basic medical procedures, including the use of a stethoscope to examine a patient's heart, lungs, and other vital functions. Since BAMS doctors are taught both Ayurvedic and modern diagnostic methods, they are trained to use stethoscopes during patient consultations to monitor vital signs, diagnose conditions, and provide appropriate treatment.

No, BAMS doctors are not authorized to perform Cesarean sections (C-sections) in modern medical practice. C-sections are advanced surgical procedures that require extensive training in modern obstetrics and gynaecology, which is covered under the MBBS and MD curriculum.

A BAMS doctor cannot directly practice as a gynecologist in modern medicine. However, they can specialize in "Stree Rog and Prasuti Tantra," which is the Ayurvedic branch focusing on women's health, pregnancy, and childbirth. To become a recognised gynecologist in modern allopathic medicine, one must complete an MBBS degree followed by an MD or DNB in Obstetrics and Gynecology. That said, BAMS doctors with a postgraduate specialisation in Ayurvedic gynecology can offer treatments for women's health issues using Ayurvedic principles and are authorized to provide prenatal and postnatal care within their scope of practice.

Yes, a BAMS doctor is legally allowed to administer injections, provided they have the necessary training and follow the guidelines set by the Ministry of AYUSH. As part of their curriculum, BAMS students are trained in basic medical procedures, including administering injections, intravenous fluids, and vaccinations. They can give injections to patients as part of both Ayurvedic and certain allopathic treatments, especially in rural or primary healthcare settings. However, they must adhere to the regulations and scope of practice outlined by the state medical councils.

You are scoring 353 marks in NEET 2024. Depending on the category you are applying under, cutoffs for various colleges, and whether you are applying to a government or private institution, admission to a medical course is not guaranteed. Overall, a score of 353 is considered lower than the cut-off for most government medical colleges, especially in popular states where the cut-off is relatively high. but for the private college you can apply because the cut off is less than government college

While they are trained in homeopathy and can legally practice homeopathic medicine, their training does not include the study of conventional medicine.However, BHMS graduates can pursue further education in allopathic medicine by enrolling in an MBBS program, but this would require them to start from the beginning and complete the full course of study, including internships and licensing exams. As for pursuing an MD in other medical fields, BHMS graduates can apply, but they must meet the e

Homeopathy differs significantly from conventional (allopathic) medicine in its approach to treatment, diagnosis, and healing. While conventional medicine primarily focuses on treating symptoms and underlying causes of diseases using pharmaceutical drugs and surgical interventions, homeopathy operates on the principle of "like cures like," where highly diluted substances are used to stimulate the body's innate healing ability. Homeopathic remedies are tailored to the individual, considering not only physical symptoms but also emotional and psychological factors. Conventional medicine tends to follow a more scientific and evid
