Most education portals list its establishment around 2010 (some sources note 2014). It is named in honour of the late Shri Ramchandra Vaidya, an Ayurvedic practitioner and Banaras Hindu University alumnus, and is promoted by figures associated with the institution.
The college is affiliated with Mahayogi Gorakhnath University (also referred to as Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University), Gorakhpur, and approved by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) under the Ministry of AYUSH. It operates as a co-educational institution.
Academic Programme
The primary course is the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), a full-time 5.5-year programme (4.5 years of academic study plus one year of compulsory internship). The annual intake is 60 seats.
Admission is through the NEET-UG examination followed by counselling (conducted under Uttar Pradesh AYUSH norms). Eligibility requires completion of 10+2 (or the equivalent) with physics, chemistry, and biology, securing at least 50% aggregate marks in these subjects (with age criteria typically requiring candidates to be at least 17 years old by the relevant cut-off date).
Infrastructure and Hospital
The campus includes classrooms, laboratories, a library with reference materials, an herbal garden, IT facilities, an auditorium, sports amenities, a yoga hall, a canteen, and separate hostels for boys and girls.
An attached teaching hospital provides clinical training. Facilities typically include outpatient and inpatient departments, a Panchakarma unit, Ksharasutra therapy, operation theatre, labour room, pathology lab, X-ray, ECG, physiotherapy, and emergency services. Patient footfall supports practical exposure for students while offering Ayurvedic care to the community (including treatments for various chronic and lifestyle-related conditions).
Faculty and Campus Life
Faculty members are experienced in Ayurvedic disciplines. The curriculum covers classical subjects such as Samhita, Rachana Sharir, Kriya Sharir, Dravyaguna, Rasashastra, Rog Nidan, Panchakarma, Kayachikitsa, Shalya, and Shalakya, alongside integration with modern perspectives. Seminars, workshops, yoga, meditation, cultural events, and research activities form part of student life.
Prospective students should verify the latest admission dates, exact fee structure, cut-offs, and infrastructure details directly with the college or through official UP AYUSH counselling channels, as information can change.
