A.L.N. Rao Memorial Ayurvedic Medical gives students hands-on clinical/practical exposure through its attached teaching facilities and a structured internship, which is what employers and PG-entrance examiners value most.

When you shortlist A.L.N. Rao Memorial Ayurvedic Medical, weigh the fee tier you qualify for, the campus and hospital infrastructure, faculty strength and the internship stipend — not just the brand name.

After BAMS: internship, registration & higher studies

The programme includes a compulsory rotating internship, after which graduates register with the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) and the state board to practise.
