Both are different fields, BAMS deals with ayurvedic medicine so after this you can get a job in government hospitals, private ayurvedic medicine companies, spa and can also run your own clinic. whereas after doing physiotherapy you can get a job in private and government hospitals. . In the recent times Physiotherapy has been advancing and has received an increased demand in both scope and job prospects. Considering the advancements, Both courses have equal scope and the earning depends on you, how good you are in your field.
