In contrast to the paramedical BPT course, the BAMS allows you to become an ayurvedic doctor. 1. The Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (B.A. M. S. ) programme teaches you about traditional Ayurvedic Science and its uses. Exercise therapy, physiology, electrotherapy, and other topics are covered in BPT. 2. Compared to the BAMS, the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) is less expensive. A B.A. M. S. programme may cost more than Rs. 14 lacs, whereas a BPT may cost between Rs. 60,000 and Rs. 6 lacs. 3. If you have a BAMS, you can become a government medical officer, an ayurvedic consultant, or an ayurvedic physician. A BPT degree entitles you to positions as a hospital physiotherapist, sports physiotherapist, fitness instructor, etc. 4. The starting salary for a BAMS graduate is typically in the range of Rs. 4.8 lacs. An annual salary of about Rs. 2.25 Lacs is possible with a BPT degree. Some professions, such as sports physiotherapy, can pay up to Rs. 4 lacs per year.
