Hello Ishika,

For BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) , the first year often lasts for 18 months instead of the usual 12 months due to the course structure. However, scholarships are typically disbursed on an annual basis (12 months), meaning you are likely to receive the scholarship amount for 12 months in a single academic year.

Since your first year extends to 18 months , the scholarship will still usually be calculated based on a 12-month cycle. This can cause confusion when colleges ask for fees for the second year earlier, as fees may be demanded based on their academic schedule rather than the scholarship period.

To clarify:

• You may receive the scholarship for 12 months of the first year.
• It's best to contact the scholarship authority or your college administration to understand whether any adjustments will be made for the extra months in the first year.

This way, you'll know how to plan for the second-year fees and any scholarship delays.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
