The ancient science of Ayurveda has been around for more than 3000 years, since the Early Vedic times in our Indian subcontinent. This term has been derived from the two words ‘ayur’ and ‘veda’ which mean life and knowledge respectively. Since the pandemic forced people to take their well-being seriously, this ancient science has been on an upsurge
Ayurveda is really unique as it is so old that even other popular forms of traditional medicine like TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) take inspiration from it. India has a lot of potentials when it comes to taking advantage of this homegrown brand of medicine and wellness. The AYUSH ministry (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) has played a major role in legitimizing this brand of holistic medicine. This is evident in the amount of Ayurvedic colleges that have popped up in the country, offering courses like BA to train certified doctors in Ayurveda.
One of the key branches of Ayurveda that many BAMS courses offer comprehensive training in is Roga Nidan and Vikriti Vigyan, which stands roughly for pathology. In this blog, we discuss the details of BA courses in India as well as the contribution of this branch to the science of Ayurveda. Read on to find out more.

Ayurveda, which literally translates to the “science of life”, has often been attributed to the goddess Dhanvantri when it comes to its origins. While that claim cannot be verified, what we do know is that since the ancient Vedic times, scholars and physicians like Sushruta and Charaka have played a great role in the development of this branch of medicine.
The BAMS course stands for Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery. This undergraduate course is the rough equivalent of an MBBS course, teaching students about the basics of Ayurvedic philosophies and treatment and diagnostic procedures.
The eligibility criteria to get into a BAMS course at Sri Sai Ayurvedic Medical College Bhopal, and most other Ayurvedic colleges in India are as follows:
A BAMS course at any Ayurvedic college in Bhopaland the rest of India usually consists of 4 professionals and 1 compulsory rotatory internship. The first 3 professions last for a period of 1 year each with the final professional taking 18 months. The internship is for a period of 1 year to help the student gain practical experience in a hospital environment. This makes for a total of 5 years and 6 months for the entire course.
The typical syllabus of a BAMS course might look something like this:

Roga & Vikriti Vijnana (Clinical Medicine & Pathology), also known as Roga Nidan and Vikriti Vigyan is the branch of Ayurveda that deals with the diagnosis of illnesses and their subsequent treatments.
