Are BAMS doctors eligible to pursue Master of Public Health (Epidemiology) at National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences?

NIMHANS Provides about 10 seats for. Neurosurgery (6-year) courses. The entry is through the INI-CET exam conducted by AIIMS. For the general category, the cutoff rank has been around 68 (air) in recent years. Due to their reputation and limited seats, the competition is intense, and only the top -ranked candidates secure admission to this highly specialised program.

There is no specific syllabus given for  the NIMHANS entrance exam, But the student preparing for the entrance exam, they needs to study whole syllabus of the B.Sc life sciences and some basic knowledge of neurosciences is mandatory.
