The National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) and All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) represent the highest level of Ayurveda education and research in India. These premier institutes operate under the Government of India and autonomous bodies, offering advanced academic infrastructure, modern Ayurvedic hospitals, and specialized research facilities. Students seeking admission to NIA BAMS Colleges in India must qualify NEET UG and participate in AACCC AYUSH Counselling.
Compared to state and private Ayurveda colleges, National Institutes have very limited seats and extremely high competition. Institutes like National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur and All India Institute of Ayurveda, New Delhi are considered among the most prestigious AYUSH institutions in the country. These institutes not only provide undergraduate BAMS education but also offer postgraduate, doctoral, and research-based programs with advanced clinical exposure.
Candidates applying to National Institute BAMS colleges benefit from superior clinical training, strong academic faculty, government-supported infrastructure, and national-level recognition. Admission is strictly based on merit, counselling choice filling, and seat availability. Due to limited intake, securing a seat in NIA or AIIA requires a strong NEET rank and strategic counselling participation.
