Dear Teentalker,
Thank you for sharing your query with us. Both courses certainly have their own value and process. Making a well informed choice is key to a bright career. Here is some information on both the courses and how each is unique in its own way.
Unani medicine is a field of medicine like Ayurveda, homeopathy, Allopathic and natural medicine. This form of medical treatment also has applications in treating all types of disorders. This system is based on Greek method of medicine where they work on four fluids present in the body, Yellow humor, Black humor, blood and Phlegm.
With the advancement over time, Unani has also evolved. Students pursuing Bachelors of Unani Medicine & Surgery also get acquainted to other relevant disciplines such as physiology, preventive medicine, pharmacology, pathology and forensic medicine.
Opting for a career in Unani medicine after 12th standard is interesting and challenging. If you are a BUMS student, you can be a research officer or work as a consultant in any public or private health organization. After completing an undergraduate program, you may pursue a postgraduate degree or a PhD in a research area of your interest. Colleges which offer BUMS programs in India

BASLP stands for Bachelor of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology. It is a 4 years undergraduate professional course that Science stream students (both Mathematics and Biology) may pursue after completing 12th standard.
This course trains students to become audiologists and speech pathologists. Audiology is the science of hearing. It deals with study of sound and balance, hearing and balance disorders and the rehabilitation of people suffering from hearing and balance disorders.
Speech Language Pathology is the science that deals with the study of speech, languages and disorders (disorders related to speech and languages). Some institutes do have the minimum marks criterion. The minimum aggregate marks required are 50% in 12th board examination.
Both the programs are equally good in terms of their scope in India. However, with a BASLP degree, you can become an expert right after undergraduate studies while for a Unani medicine course, you would be required to undergo a Masters program in order to expertise in that field.
Hope this information has been beneficial for you. If you wish to discuss anything further, please chat with us from Monday through Saturday between 11am and 9pm or leave us an offline message.
