Academic Structure

The Department covers five key subjects throughout the undergraduate curriculum, ensuring a strong foundation in Ayurvedic principles, classical literature, and Sanskrit:

1. Sanskrit – Essential for the comprehension of Ayurvedic texts, the study of Sanskrit allows students to directly interpret ancient scriptures, texts, and commentaries, fostering a deeper understanding of Ayurvedic principles.
2. Padartha Vidnyana – This subject delves into the core concepts and terminology of Ayurveda, facilitating a strong understanding of the basic categories of knowledge necessary for Ayurvedic practice.
3. Samhita Adhyayana-1 – In the first year, students begin their study of classical Ayurvedic literature, focusing on foundational texts that explain the essential theories and practices of Ayurveda.
4. Samhita Adhyayana-2 – The second year continues the study of classical texts, expanding into more complex texts that detail Ayurvedic treatment methodologies and specific principles for diagnosis and therapy.
5. Samhita Adhyayana-3 – The final year brings a deeper exploration of Ayurvedic texts, refining students’ analytical skills and understanding of the application of Ayurveda in practice.

These subjects constitute a significant portion of the Ayurvedic curriculum, laying a strong intellectual and philosophical foundation for students as they continue their studies in more specialized areas of Ayurveda. Through this integrated approach, the Department ensures that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and research capabilities to excel in the field.
