• Some students in MSc (Yoga & Vedic Therapy) have gotten roles such as: Yoga Instructor, Junior Research Fellow (e.g. at NIMHANS), Assistant Professors etc.

• For BNYS graduates, there is exposure to clinical practice, government AYUSH hospitals, private hospitals, and potential for private practice.

However, exact data on placement percentages, average package for non‑tech / wellness courses is less clearly available in public sources.

Considerations / What to Check

• For tech / non‑wellness courses (BTech, BCA etc.), ensure the specific specialization has strong placement records (since more data seems available for conventional fields).

• Fee + hostel + living expenses can add up, so total cost is to be carefully considered, especially for multi‑year programs.

• Internship / placement support in wellness / yoga field may be different (fewer large‑MNC recruiters) compared to engineering / IT. So students keen on specific outcomes should talk to current students or alumni.

• PhD / research output is promising, but for full transparency you may want to see actual numbers (how many faculty with PhD, how many ongoing research projects, publications per year etc).
