To get admission into a good BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) or BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) college as an OBC category student, you will need to secure a competitive score in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test). The exact score required can vary each year and depends on factors like the difficulty of the exam, the number of available seats, and the overall performance of candidates.

However, based on previous years' trends, for a good government BAMS college under the OBC category, you should aim for a NEET score in the range of 480 to 550 or even higher . For good government BHMS colleges, the required score might be slightly lower, potentially in the range of 450 to 520 or above . For private colleges, the cutoff scores can be lower than government colleges, but good ones will still require a decent score. Keep in mind that these are just estimations, and the actual cutoffs for the NEET 2025 admissions might differ.

Regarding which course might be better for you having studied in Hindi medium, both BAMS and BHMS have their course material and teaching primarily in English at the undergraduate level in most good colleges across India. While some colleges, especially those in Hindi-speaking states, might use Hindi for some explanations or have study material available in Hindi, the core medical terminology and curriculum will largely be in English.

Therefore, your school's medium of instruction might not be the most significant deciding factor between BAMS and BHMS. The choice should ideally depend on your personal interest in the specific medical system.

BAMS focuses on the traditional Indian system of Ayurveda, emphasizing natural remedies, herbal medicines, and a holistic approach to health. It involves a detailed study of ancient Ayurvedic texts alongside modern medical subjects.

BHMS focuses on Homeopathy, an alternative system of medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's healing response. It follows the principle of "like cures like."

Both BAMS and BHMS offer promising career paths as medical practitioners in their respective fields. BAMS graduates can work in Ayurvedic hospitals, wellness centers, and research institutions, and there's growing global interest in Ayurveda. BHMS graduates can work in homeopathic clinics, hospitals, and also have opportunities in research and pharmaceuticals.

Ultimately, the better choice for you depends on which medical system resonates more with your interests and career aspirations. It would be beneficial to research both fields further, perhaps speak to practitioners or students in these fields, and then make an informed decision.
