Courses, Fees, and Eligibility at Bapuji Ayurvedic Medical College, Challakere

BAMS — Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery

The BAMS curriculum at the college follows the syllabus prescribed by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine and is delivered through 14 academic departments, ranging from the foundational sciences of Rachana Sharir, Kriya Sharir, and Sanskrit Samhita Siddhanta to clinical disciplines such as Kayachikitsa, Shalya Tantra, Shalakya Tantra, Prasuti Tantra & Stree Roga, Kaumarbhritya, Swasthavritta, and Panchakarma. Eligibility for admission requires a 10+2 qualification with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology along with English, a minimum aggregate of 50 percent marks for the general category (relaxed to 45 percent for OBC/SC/ST candidates with Karnataka domicile), a minimum age of 17 years, and a valid NEET UG qualifying score.

Fee Structure

As a private institution operating under Karnataka's regulated AYUSH admission framework, the college's fees vary by the quota through which a seat is allotted. The college's own website does not publish a fee schedule, so the figures below reflect the most recent available counselling-linked data; the management quota figure in particular should be treated as indicative rather than officially confirmed, since actual private-college fees are fixed each year by Karnataka's Fee Regulatory Committee.

How Specializations Work in BAMS

Unlike postgraduate Ayurvedic degrees, BAMS does not offer subject-wise specialisation tracks at the undergraduate level — every student studies the same NCISM-prescribed curriculum across all 14 departments before graduating as a general Ayurvedic physician. Students interested in a particular clinical stream, such as Panchakarma or Shalya Tantra, typically pursue that specialisation later through postgraduate study (MD/MS Ayurveda) once they have completed their BAMS degree and internship.
