Government Ayurvedic College

The first school of the Indian medical system in the entire Northeastern region of India is the Government Ayurvedic College, which is located in Jalukbari. With an annual intake of 60 seats, the College is affiliated with Srimanta Sankardeva University of Health Sciences, Assam, as of 2010. The University has adopted the syllabus and curriculum prescribed by the Central Council of Indian Medicine, the statutory body of the Indian System of Medicine. Admission to B.A.M.S. is determined by a NEET administered by NTA. On the other hand, the NTA-conducted P.G. Entrance Examination (AIAPGET) is the basis for admission to the Post Graduate Course [M.D./MS (Ayurvedin).A four and a half year diploma program was offered initially, and it ran until 1973. There were 25 students enrolled annually, and the Assamese government established the Board of Ayurvedic Medicine to set rules and regulations, develop curricula, syllabuses, and administer exams. Following that, the college administration introduced a degree program with the help of the student body, faculty, staff, and the general public. In November 1974, the two-year pre-Ayurvedic course began before the main five-year BAMS degree program at Gauhati University in Assam. Following a two-year period during which the pre-Ayurvedic course was introduced, candidates who passed both the pre-Ayurvedic and P.U. Sc. (now HSSLC Science) courses were eligible to enroll in the 1977 BAMS course.
