Frequently asked questions
Fees, scholarships & funding BAMS at Dhanvantari Ayurveda
Official fee tiers for Dhanvantari Ayurveda are listed in the fee table above. The government / KEA-merit seat is always the most affordable route at Dhanvantari Ayurveda and is allotted purely on merit — so a strong rank is the single best way to cut your cost. For management or NRI seats, plan funding early: education loans are available from SBI (Scholar Loan), HDFC Credila, Axis and most banks via the Vidya Lakshmi portal, often covering tuition plus hostel. Reserved-category students (SC/ST/OBC/Category-1) can claim Karnataka fee-reimbursement and post-matric scholarships through the Social Welfare / Backward Classes departments, and EWS and central-sector scholarships further reduce the net cost. Budget separately for hostel, mess and one-time charges in Uttara Kannada, which are billed over and above the tuition shown above.

Why choose Dhanvantari Ayurveda, Uttara Kannada?
Dhanvantari Ayurveda 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. Studying in Uttara Kannada adds the advantage of a established healthcare-education ecosystem, peer hospitals for postings, coaching for licensure/PG entrances, and good transport connectivity for students from across Karnataka and other states. When you shortlist Dhanvantari Ayurveda, 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. From there the common paths are MD/MS (Ayurveda), Panchakarma, and allied specialisations, or going straight into work — typical roles include Ayurveda clinical practice, hospital and Panchakarma roles, MD/MS (Ayurveda) specialisation, the wellness/pharma industry, teaching and research. Many Dhanvantari Ayurveda graduates also prepare during internship for PG-entrance exams or overseas licensure, so it pays to plan that timeline from the first year rather than the last.
