Overview
The Master of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (MAMS) is an older or institution-specific postgraduate Ayurveda title reported by AISHE. Current regulated postgraduate Ayurveda awards more commonly use MD or MS Ayurveda with a named speciality.
What students study
Advanced study would depend on the speciality and may include classical texts, diagnosis, medicine, pharmacology, surgery-related disciplines, research methods, seminars, teaching and a dissertation. The exact curriculum cannot be inferred safely from the MAMS abbreviation alone.
Duration and study options
Postgraduate Ayurveda degrees are commonly three years full time, but applicants must verify the current approved title and duration. Check NCISM recognition, feeder qualification, speciality, hospital exposure, thesis supervision, seat approval and registration implications.
Eligibility and admission
Applicants normally need BAMS, completed internship, registration and the other conditions stated for the recognised postgraduate programme. Current AYUSH postgraduate admissions commonly use AIAPGET and the applicable counselling process; verify the exact programme listing.
Career and further study
Recognised graduates work in specialist Ayurveda practice, hospitals, education, research and public services according to registration and employer rules. Options include research, fellowships, academic development, public health and healthcare management.
Student checklist
Before applying, compare the syllabus, recognition or regulatory approval where applicable, delivery mode, fees, practical training, entrance requirements and placement support. Always confirm the current rules with the university or admission authority.
