Course Curriculum Overview
BHMS is the kind of course which requires more practical experience than theory, the curriculum provides us with 2 hour of practicals and 4 hours of theory during the first 3 years and during the final year (spans 1.5year) you will have 3 hours of practicals and 3 hours of theory everyday, which prepares you well enogh for the real world encounters with patients. It would've been better if they include medical camps in socially backwards communities with less accessibility to medicine, as a part of the curriculum,which will help the students to get out of their comfort zones and become better prepared for the future. Since the curriculum covers many subjects, of great importance, conducting monthly or trimesteral exams will help the students to have a better understanding of the subject and lessen the burden for final exams.
Fees and Financial Aid
Tuition fee ranges between 4 to 6k annually. There are 5 BHMS colleges under KUHS and 2 of them are government colleges and rest are government controlled colleges so if you opt management seats in any of the government controlled colleges, you are most likely to pay about 3 - 15 Lakhs for your seats but from then onwards the fee will remain the same as that of students who came in merit. There are many scholarship schemes like AYUSH scolorship scheme, vidyasaarathi scheme, NSDL and many others for students who opt BHMS as a career option. Also there are littile to no scope of campus employment.
Campus Life
There will be an annual arts fest, usually conducted around the month of January or February. Also they there are many sports meets conducted year round. All the colleges are equipped with good libraries which you can freely access, among which DPMHMC's library is the biggest. There are a number of clubs and groups in campuses like NSS, forestry club, red cross and more, which are really helpful in shaping your public speaking skills to another level.
Admission
Eligibility for admission is purely based on your NEET rank. If you have passed NEET but have no hope of getting a merit seat, you shall apply for management seats in DPMHMC, ANSSHMC and SVRHMC, you can find the application in their respective websites. There will be exams at the end of each year and supplementary exams of those will be conducted in a span of about 4 months after the yearly exam. Difficulty level of exam may vary from time to time but if you prepare like you've prepared for NEET, with 2 months of preparation you can crack it with ease.
Faculty
Faculty to student ratio depends upon the college and campus you are enrolled in. I study at DPMHMC ernakulam and it has a faculty-student ratio of about 1:8 which is actually really good. Most faculties in my colleges are pretty good at their work and are over qualified for their job. Most of them are willing to help you in case of academics and extra curriculars,round the clock without any hesitation
