The BAMS degree from a CCIM-approved college is recognised for Ayurveda practice registration across all Indian states.
Ramanagara — Silk City Between Bangalore and Mysuru
Ramanagara is famous as the filming location of the Bollywood classic "Sholay" and as Karnataka's premier silk cocoon trading market — the largest silk market in Asia. Located 50 km from Bangalore on NH-275, Ramanagara gives TMV students proximity to Bangalore's medical and wellness ecosystem while studying in a smaller, lower-cost city. The Bangalore-Mysuru corridor has seen significant industrial and residential development following the expressway opening in 2023, creating a growing healthcare demand in the towns along the corridor.
The silk industry's occupational health needs — sericulturists and silk weavers face specific musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions from their work — provide BAMS students with community health exposure relevant to Ayurveda's strength in occupational wellness and preventive care.
RGUHS Affiliation and BAMS Curriculum
RGUHS's BAMS curriculum follows the CCIM-prescribed syllabus covering Samhita and Siddhanta (classical texts), Ayurvedic Pharmacology, Shalya Tantra (surgery), Shalakya Tantra (ENT and ophthalmology), Kayachikitsa (internal medicine), Prasuti Tantra (obstetrics), Kaumarabhritya (paediatrics), Panchakarma and Community Medicine. Clinical training in the attached teaching hospital provides hands-on exposure to Ayurvedic diagnosis and treatment protocols.
Career Scope After BAMS
TMV BAMS graduates complete one year compulsory internship and register with Karnataka Ayurveda Medical Council. Career pathways include independent Ayurveda clinical practice in the Bangalore-Mysuru corridor, AYUSH government medical officer positions through state and central recruitment, MD Ayurveda through NEET-PG AYUSH, Ayurvedic pharmaceutical R&D roles and the growing wellness and integrative healthcare industry. Ramanagara's position between Bangalore and Mysuru gives graduates access to two major healthcare markets for private practice establishment.
