LIST OF PARTICIPATING AYUSH PG INSTITUTES
Lakshadweep is devoid of any Ayush colleges or institutions. Because of this, Lakshadweep students interested in postgraduate study in the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy) disciplines will need to look into options outside of the union territory. In order to pursue their desired courses in the AYUSH disciplines, interested candidates would need to look at colleges or institutions situated in other states or regions of India, as there are no Ayush colleges in Lakshadweep. Students from Lakshadweep are able to gain admission to pursue higher education in the field of traditional medicine by investigating the options that are available in various locations and taking part in the relevant counselling processes.
