MEDICINE & ALLIED FIELDS
Medical science and the art of healing is not for everybody, certainly not for weak hearted. One has to be strong enough to endure the constant misery of mankind, yet be gentle enough to understand the sufferings of patients and empathies with them. A doctor has to constantly treat the extremely delicate path between success and disaster.

Those who want to study medicine should decide to do so immediately after class 10 and study physics, chemistry and biology at the pre-university level. Admission is extremely tough and is through competitive entrance examination, Engineering, Agriculture and Medicine Common Entrance Test (EAMCET), conducted after the Intermediate examination.

There are basically four disciplines in medicine:
Allopathy (MBBS): Bachelor or Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery
Homeopathy (BHMS): Bachelor of Homeopathy Medicine and Surgery
Ayurvedic (BAMS): Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
Unani (BUMS): Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery
All the courses are of five-and-half-year duration.
