Admission to the BAMS course at government colleges is based on merit in the KEAM exam, held annually in April. The college has a qualified faculty, each department staffed by at least four teachers, emphasizing a clinical-based study approach. The course consists of 4.5 years of study and a one-year compulsory internship, divided into three professional phases. Students need to pass internal exams with at least 35% and university exams with 50%.
The exam fee is around 700 INR per paper. Annual tuition is 10,000 INR, and hostel fees, including mess charges, are approximately 2,500 INR per month. Books cost about 3,000 INR yearly. During the internship, students rotate through various departments, including rural postings, gaining extensive patient care experience. The internship stipend ranges from 15,000 to 25,000 INR, with the current stipend being 23,000 INR monthly. Scholarships are available for various student groups, including those from backward communities and Kerala domiciles, with additional support from the Ayush Ministry.
Tuition fees over 5.5 years total about 75,000 INR, with annual fees for AIQ students at 17,000 INR. Hostel fees are 250 INR monthly, excluding separate mess charges.
