BAMS Career Prospects and Pharmacy Licensing Insights
A career expert answered questions about different medical and pharmacy paths.
One questioner was curious about BAMS (a type of Indian medicine) and whether it's a good career in Kerala.
The answer was yes, but it often leads to starting your own clinic or working for the government.
Another person asked about their chances of getting into a veterinary school with their NEET score, and it wasn't likely.
Finally, a pharmacist asked about how to get a license, needing to make sure they followed all the rules.
Dr. Nagaraj JSK provides career guidance on pharmacy and medical fields.

Doctors may set up private clinics instead of corporate roles.
A NEET score of 383 is unlikely to secure a government BVSc seat.
