Hi, I have completed my B.Sc in General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) degree course and now wish to do Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery BAMS. What should I do now? Should I directly apply in any colleges or do I need to go through any entrance?

Admission in most of the premier institutions are conducted through NEET or state medical entrance test score.

So, to get admission in premier institution in the respective course, you will have to appear and qualify in the entrance examination.

For applying to BAMS course, you should have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is a graduation course which is done after completing Intermediate.
Admission to this course is done through entrance test in which questions from Physics, Chemistry, Biology subjects are asked of 11th, 12th standard.
Since, you have already completed B.Sc. in General Nursing and Midwifery(GNM) which is a Bachelor course, so it will be worthless to have two bachelor degrees. Instead of BAMS, you can do Masters in your current degree.
