No, students from the Arts stream cannot apply for BHMS course directly. The eligibility criteria for BHMS course typically require candidates to have completed their higher secondary education (12th grade) in the Science stream with subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. This is because the course involves a deep understanding of Biology and medical sciences, which are essential for studying homeopathic medicine.

Homeopathy differs significantly from conventional (allopathic) medicine in its approach to treatment, diagnosis, and healing.

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

Yes, a BHMS doctor can open a clinic or a healthcare facility that provides homeopathic treatment, but there are certain limitations and requirements. In India, BHMS graduates are recognised and licensed to practice homeopathy after registering with the State Homeopathic Medical Council. They can offer homeopathic consultations, prescribe remedies, and treat various health conditions using homeopathic methods. However, opening a full-fledged hospital that provides a wide range of allopathic or specialised treatments, including surgeries, would require an MBBS qualification and a different set of licenses.

Yes, the NExT (National Exit Test) exam is expected to be compulsory for BHMS course students in the future, as part of a nationwide initiative to standardize medical education and licensure in India. The NExT exam will serve as a common qualifying exam for all medical graduates, including those with degrees in BHMS, MBBS, BDS, and other medical fields. It will assess a candidate's knowledge, clinical skills, and readiness to practice medicine. For BHMS course students, passing the NExT exam will be necessary to register as licensed medical practitioners and practice homeopathy.

BHMS course doctors are not trained or licensed to perform deliveries (childbirth) as their education and practice focus on homeopathy, not obstetrics or surgery. Delivering babies typically requires specialised training in obstetrics, which is a part of allopathic medicine (MBBS) and involves a separate qualification like MD or MS in Obstetrics and Gynecology. While BHMS practitioners can support women during pregnancy by addressing certain health concerns and using homeopathic remedies, they are not authorized to manage labor or conduct deliveries.

After completing BHMS course, pursuing a specialisation in Gynecology directly is not possible, as Gynecology is a branch of allopathic medicine. If you are interested in allopathic gynaecology, you would need to pursue an MBBS degree followed by a specialisation (MD) in Gynaecology.

No, the BHMS course is not equal to MBBS. While both are undergraduate medical degrees, they differ significantly in terms of curriculum, treatment methods, and practice areas. MBBS is the standard qualification for practicing conventional (allopathic) medicine.On the other hand, BHMS course is a degree focused on homeopathic medicine, which follows a holistic approach to treatment using homeopathic remedies and individualized care.

Yes, BHMS course graduates are legally entitled to be called "Doctors" in India. After completing the Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) course, they are recognised as homeopathic doctors. The title of "Doctor" is granted as they are qualified to practice homeopathy, diagnose medical conditions, and prescribe homeopathic medicines. However, it is important to note that while they can be called "Doctor," their practice is limited to homoeopathic medicine and does not include the prescription of allopathic treatments unless they pursue further qualifications.
