Can BAMS graduates appear for UPSC or State PSC civil services?
Yes — BAMS (5.5-year degree including internship) from CCIM-recognised college is a graduate/professional degree that satisfies graduation eligibility for: UPSC CSE (21–32 years, any graduation); State PSC Civil Services; UPSC EPFO EO/AO; SSC CGL; IBPS PO/Clerk; all graduate-level government exams. BAMS for UPSC CSE optional: Medical Science optional is available — MBBS-level content. BAMS doesn't directly qualify for Medical Science optional (designed for MBBS) but Agriculture, Anthropology, or other optionals can be chosen. For IFS (Indian Forest Service) — BAMS qualifies if the candidate has also studied Botany, Zoology, or Chemistry at graduation level (which BAMS curriculum includes). BAMS graduates increasingly choose UPSC CSE for IAS/IPS aspirations — choosing optional subjects like Anthropology, Sociology, or Geography rather than Medical Science.
