Melmalagi 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. Studying in Gadag 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 Shri D.G.

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.
