Admissions Process (Centralized State Counselling)

BUHS does not conduct its own admissions. All admissions to all of its affiliated colleges are handled by the state government's centralized bodies.

• Medical/Dental Counselling: UGMAC (for UG) and PGMAC (for PG).

• Nursing/Paramedical: Admissions are typically based on the BCECE (Diploma) or BCECE (Lateral Entry) exams, also conducted by the BCECEB.

• Internship: All clinical graduates (MBBS, BDS, BAMS, etc.) must complete a mandatory 1-year rotatory internship at their respective teaching hospital, for which they receive a stipend.

• Career Path: Graduates are employed by the state government's health services (often fulfilling a service bond), pursue postgraduate specialization (via NEET-PG), join private hospital chains (like Apollo, Max), or start their own clinical practice.
