1. Course Overview

The Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) is a comprehensive professional undergraduate medical degree program that integrates the traditional knowledge of Ayurveda with modern medical science. K.V. Ayurvedic Medical College & Dev Hospital offers this program to students aspiring to become proficient Ayurvedic physicians.

The course is designed to provide a deep understanding of the core philosophy of Ayurveda, including its diagnostic methods, preventive healthcare practices, and therapeutic treatments using natural substances. Concurrently, students are trained in essential modern medical disciplines, preparing them to provide holistic healthcare in contemporary society. The attached Dev Hospital provides a vital practical learning ground where students observe and assist in patient care under the guidance of experienced faculty.

The BAMS program is a full-time residential course of five and a half (5.5) years. This duration is divided into two distinct phases:

The curriculum covers classical Ayurvedic texts (Samhitas) alongside modern subjects such as Human Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine, and Surgery.

• Compulsory Rotatory Internship (1 Year): Upon successful completion of the academic phases, students must undergo one year of mandatory rotatory internship.
