It’s regulated in India by the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) and follows a competency-based curriculum with clinical training and internships.

3. Regulatory framework: 

NCH publishes the Competency Based Dynamic Curriculum (CBDC) and periodic amendments to the BHMS regulations; colleges must follow NCH-approved syllabus.

Fee details — typical ranges & examples

Fees vary widely by college type (government vs private/deemed). Below are typical ranges and examples to help plan financially:
Government colleges: Often very low — annual tuition can range from a few thousand  ~ ₹90,000 depending on state/subsidy.
Private / Deemed universities: Much higher—total course fees in top private institutes can amount to several lakhs (examples reported: individual totals in the range of ₹5–12 lakh at some private/deemed colleges). Typical private college annual fees often fall between ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,50,000 (varies greatly).

Important notes: many colleges charge additional fees (hostel, exam, clinical supplies). State fee regulatory authorities may cap or regulate fees—always confirm the official fee structure from the college prospectus and state education/fee regulator.

Scope & job opportunities after BHMS 


BHMS graduates have several career paths — clinical, academic, research, industry and allied healthcare. Common options:

Clinical practice (private or hospital): 
Start a private homoeopathic clinic or join homeopathy hospitals/clinics.

Postgraduate studies (MD/MD(Hom)): 
Pursue MD in Homeopathy or allied postgraduate diplomas; PG admissions usually require national entrance tests (check current NCH/NTA rules).

Government jobs & public health:
Opportunities in AYUSH wings of government hospitals, public health programs, dispensaries, and community health initiatives.

Pharma & research:
Roles in homeopathic/pharmaceutical companies (quality control, medical advisor), clinical research, pharmacovigilance.

Academia & teaching:
Lecturer/tutor roles in homeopathic colleges (with postgraduate qualification preferred).
 
Allied careers:
 Medical writing, wellness & integrative medicine centers, hospital administration, telemedicine, entrepreneurial ventures (clinics, wellness products).

Salary expectations: vary widely — fresh graduates in entry clinical roles may earn modestly; private practice income depends on patient base and location. Postgraduates, experienced clinicians, and industry roles generally command higher pay.

Practical tips & final thoughts

  • Verify the exact syllabus and internship requirements from your college/university and the NCH site (regulations change periodically).

  • Check fees in the official prospectus and any state fee-regulator notices to avoid surprises.

  • Consider internships, community postings and research early—these strengthen clinical competence and employability.
