AMU M.D Tahaffuzi-wa-Samaji Tibb: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Tahaffuzi-wa-Samaji Tibb is the Unani equivalent of Preventive and Social Medicine (Community Medicine). It covers public health principles, epidemiology, environmental health, occupational health, and social determinants of disease from the Unani perspective. This specialisation is particularly relevant today given the growing integration of AYUSH in India's public health system. Graduates can work in government AYUSH health departments, CCRUM, national health programmes, and as faculty in Unani colleges. It is also a strong foundation for those interested in public health research combining traditional and modern medicine.

Ans. Yes, AIAPGET (All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test) conducted by NTA is mandatory for admission to the MD (Tahaffuzi-wa-Samaji Tibb) programme at AMU's Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College. AMU's seats fall under the central university category and are filled through AACCC (AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee) centralised counselling based on AIAPGET scores. There is no separate AMU entrance test for this programme. Candidates must register for AIAPGET at aiapget.nta.nic.in and separately apply to AMU at amucontrollerexams.com.

Ans. Graduates of this programme have diverse career options. They can join as faculty (Lecturer/Assistant Professor) in Unani medical colleges across India, which requires a PG degree as per NCISM norms. Government AYUSH departments at central and state levels recruit Unani specialists for public health programmes. CCRUM (Central Council for Research in Unani Medicine) offers research positions for Unani PG graduates. Additionally, graduates can pursue Ph.D. in Unani Medicine at AMU or other institutions. The growing focus on integrative medicine and AYUSH in national health policy has significantly improved career prospects for Unani PG graduates.

Candidates from any state can participate in counselling and be allotted seats at AMU based on their AIAPGET rank and choice filling.
