The National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) introduced a revised competency-based curriculum for the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery (BAMS) program to align Ayurvedic education with global standards.
Key highlights of the new curriculum include:
- Increased clinical exposure from Year 1
- Integrated learning across Ayurveda & modern science
- Enhanced Panchakarma and diagnostic training
- Digital education modules and e-learning support
- Emphasis on research methodology & soft skills
- Streamlined internship design for practical competence
The reform aims to produce more skilled Ayurvedic physicians, strengthen professional readiness, and modernize teaching across all Ayurvedic colleges in India.
The move was widely welcomed by educators, hospitals, and students for improving quality and employability.
