Education in the field of Ayurveda is regulated by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM). The weightage of Sanskrit subject in first Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and surgery (BAMS) course has been decreased from 250 marks to 100 marks by CCIM notification in 2012. Decrease in weightage of marks of Sanskrit subject from 250 marks to 100 marks may affect the knowledge of Sanskrit subject.
To established a causal relationship between knowledge of Sanskrit language and results of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery examination.
Comparisons of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) scores and average marks in BAMS examination of two groups of students of 2 and 3 year BAMS and who have passed 1 year BAMS professional examination with Sanskrit subject of either 250 marks or 100 marks regarding were done. The relationship between prior exposure to Sanskrit at school level and average marks in BAMS examinations was also assessed through this study. It was a cross-sectional KAP questionnaire study. KAP questionnaire to assess KAP toward Sanskrit subject was developed and was reviewed by expert faculties. A total of 200 students of various Ayurvedic colleges from Mumbai and Navi Mumbai were enrolled in the study. The data was analyzed by appropriate statistical tests.
It was observed that in spite of decrease in weightage of marks of Sanskrit subject, there was no significant difference in KAP score as well as average marks in BAMS examination in both the groups. There was significant difference in number of students who had studied Sanskrit subject and who had not studied it at school level. There were significant differences in KAP score and average marks in BAMS examination in those two groups.
Students who have studied Sanskrit at school level find it easier to get good marks in BAMS examination, and particularly Sanskrit subject. Due to less weightage of Sanskrit subject, although syllabus is not decreased to that extent; there is very limited scope to ask various questions to judge the understanding level of students. Existing or previous syllabus of Sanskrit do not make any difference in understanding of subject and also in marks in University examination.
阿育吠陀领域的教育由印度医学中央理事会（CCIM）监管。根据CCIM 2012年的通知，阿育吠陀医学与外科学士（BAMS）第一学年课程中梵文科目的权重已从250分降至100分。梵文科目分数权重从250分降至100分可能会影响梵文科目的知识掌握。
确立梵文知识与阿育吠陀医学与外科学士考试成绩之间的因果关系。
对两组学生的知识、态度和实践（KAP）得分以及BAMS考试平均分数进行比较，这两组学生分别来自两年制和三年制BAMS课程，且已通过一年制BAMS专业考试，其中梵文科目的分数分别为250分或100分。通过本研究还评估了学校阶段之前接触梵文与BAMS考试平均分数之间的关系。这是一项横断面KAP问卷调查研究。开发了用于评估对梵文科目的KAP的问卷，并由专家教师进行了审核。来自孟买和新孟买各阿育吠陀学院的200名学生参与了该研究。通过适当的统计检验对数据进行了分析。
观察到尽管梵文科目分数权重降低，但两组学生的KAP得分以及BAMS考试平均分数均无显著差异。在学校阶段学习过梵文科目的学生人数与未学习过的学生人数存在显著差异。这两组学生在BAMS考试中的KAP得分和平均分数存在显著差异。
在学校阶段学习过梵文的学生发现在BAMS考试中更容易取得好成绩，尤其是在梵文科目上。由于梵文科目的权重降低，尽管教学大纲没有减少到那个程度；但通过各种问题来判断学生理解水平的范围非常有限。现有的或以前的梵文教学大纲在对学科的理解以及大学考试成绩方面没有任何差异。
