The course trains students in the principles and practice of homeopathy, anatomy, physiology, pathology, and surgery alongside classical homeopathic materia medica and repertory.
Who Should Apply
Students who cleared 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and qualified NEET, aspiring healers drawn to holistic non-invasive medical systems, candidates interested in running their own clinic or joining government AYUSH hospitals, and those seeking a career in homeopathic pharmaceutical companies or research institutions are the ideal candidates.
What Will You Learn
Students gain a thorough grounding in basic medical sciences, homoeopathic philosophy, materia medica, organon of medicine, and repertory. Clinical rotations across OPD and IPD departments build hands-on diagnostic and prescribing skills. The final year internship sharpens practical competence in both homeopathic and emergency care protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions About BHMS
Q. Is NEET compulsory for BHMS admission in India? Yes. The Supreme Court of India has mandated NEET as the single entrance exam for all BHMS admissions across government and private homeopathic colleges since 2020.
Q. What is the difference between BHMS and MBBS? MBBS is an allopathic degree regulated by NMC, while BHMS is a homeopathic degree regulated by CCH under AYUSH. Both are 5.5-year programmes with an internship, but their medical systems, prescribing rights and career paths differ.
Q. Can a BHMS graduate perform surgery? BHMS graduates are trained in minor surgical procedures during their programme. However, major surgery practice is restricted to allopathic practitioners. BHMS doctors may perform minor OPD-level procedures as permitted by state regulations.
Q. What is the career scope after BHMS in India? Graduates can practice as registered homeopathic physicians, join government AYUSH dispensaries, pursue MD (Homeopathy), work in homeopathic pharma companies, or set up private clinics across urban and rural India.
