Admission to the BAMS program requires a valid NEET score and completion of 10+2 with at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Applicants must be at least 17 years old. The faculty is experienced, but the university needs more staff to improve the faculty-to-student ratio, which is currently 1:3. Some faculty members, especially in Pathology, are viewed as unapproachable. The course fee is Rs 2,95,000 annually, excluding hostel, transportation, and examination costs.
Placement opportunities are limited, prompting a call for improvement. Graduates can open clinics, pursue further studies, or research, although growth in the private sector is minimal. The program includes a 1-year compulsory internship and an unpaid 6-month rotatory internship. Scholarships offer a 20% fee rebate for top-ranking students, but these and other financial aids are limited, mainly for SC/ST and BPL categories. The university does not provide loans, but students can seek them from external banks.
Campus jobs are unavailable, so students often rely on parental support. The administration has faced criticism for allegedly demanding extra payments for favorable academic outcomes, raising financial integrity concerns.
