These areas include introduction of Standards and uniformity in the entry of students in to graduate level education in Ayurveda, Emphasis on clinical exposure to graduate students, Introduction of credit point system for academicians and practitioners, Preparation of standard textbooks, Inclusion of academic research findings in to the curricula of Ayurveda, Scope for BAMS graduates for Doctoral studies, Strengthening research and statistics teaching at UG level, Greater promotion of interpathy and interdisciplinary learning. Conclusion: Albeit these advances are not new to Ayurveda education system however the pace is not up to the desired level. Hence reformation in to the Ayurvedic education system with the consideration of above mentioned points is the need of the hour.
