Question 1

Who founded Dr. Ravi Patil Ayurvedic Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre?

Accepted Answer

The institution was founded by Dr. Ravi B. Patil, MBBS, MS (Ortho) — an orthopaedic surgeon and social entrepreneur who established the Vijaya Ortho and Trauma Centre in 1999, followed by a poly clinic, Vijaya Nursing Home, Gurudevo Bhava Pratishtan (charitable trust), Vijaya Institute of Paramedical Sciences, and various rural healthcare camp programmes across the Belagavi region. The college is managed by the Dr. Ravi Patil Health and Education Society.

Question 2

What is the NCISM status of DRPAMC and is it safe to take admission?

Accepted Answer

DRPAMC (AYU0623) holds Yearly Permission for 60 BAMS seats under Section 28 of the NCISM Act, 2020 for AY 2025-26. NCISM classifies it as 'not eligible for rating since the college is not fully established' — a standard classification applied to all newer Ayurveda colleges in their initial operational years and not an adverse or compliance-related finding. All First Permission (LOP), Continuation of Permission, RGUHS First and Continuation of Affiliation, and GOK documents are publicly available on the official website. Prospective students should verify the current-year Yearly Permission status directly from drravipatilayurveda.com/permissions-and-grants/ before applying.

Who is the Principal of Dr. Ravi Patil Ayurvedic Medical College?

Accepted Answer

The college is led by Principal Dr. Sachin Annappa Pattanshetti, BAMS, MS, PhD (Registration No. 24350), who joined the institution on 28 January 2023. The institution also maintains a dedicated Dean & Managing Director, a Medical Director, a Hospital Superintendent, and a Deputy Superintendent — a fuller administrative hierarchy than many newer BAMS colleges.
