Purpose of this Question Bank

For most of the students who venture into Ayurveda with least of Vedic background the 1st year
of BAMS course is crucial. It seems like a roller coaster ride with repeated change in perception. Often
this leads to widespread confusion and chaos. Therefore appropriate guidance at every stage helps them
sail through smoothly. This compilation is an attempt to help them to predict the nature of questions
appearing in forth coming examination. Though all of them cannot develop same level of competence but
it should not be difficult for most of them get through and progress to the next profession without any
hassles. Through this compilation we would like to extend a helping hand in the same direction.

How to use this:-

With the current Question paper pattern it is vital that all the students desirous of performing well
should be completely aware of all the subject matter covered under the syllabus. Though it is not
expected to be through with all the matter but one should have a basic idea about all the subjects
prescribed under the syllabus.

i. It would be ideal to initially read the prescribed point followed by the subject to the extent
possible first. Following this exercise one has to use the question bank and assess his ability to
recall the subject appearing as questions. Repeat the same for all points. If you are not aware of
any answers refer back to the text for the same.
ii. Repeat this exercise at least three to four times before you become thorough with all the subjects
iii. Prescribed under the syllabus make sure that with every successive attempt the Questions are
answered with ease covering greater amount of facts.
iv. In the next step prepare an answer key which should be in the form of key point with the most
important terms or key words being highlighted.

This completes the preparation for your examination.

WISHING YOU ALL THE SUCCESS

HAPPY LEARNING
