NCISM introduces a 7-year pre-Ayurveda program for students in Sanskrit Gurukulams after class X, aiming to enhance their academic foundation. Affiliated with State Sanskrit Boards, the initiative includes a separate NEET entrance exam, emphasizing residential Gurukulam institutions. Jayant Deopujari, NCISM Chairman, stresses the program’s essential role for Sanskrit Gurukulam students. The curriculum covers basic sciences, preparing students for BAMS. NCISM ensures the program isn’t a backdoor entry, considering state populations for Gurukulam institutions.
