Hi,

I am sorry but there is no BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) course offered at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. NID offers programmes in various design disciplines that include BDes and MDes courses only. BHMS is a medical degree related to homeopathy, typically offered by medical colleges or universities with a focus on healthcare. If you are interested in pursuing a BHMS degree, you should look into medical colleges or universities that offer this program.
