AYUSH Counselling 2026 State Wise Cutoff & Seat Matrix

Cleared NEET? Now it is time for AYUSH counselling. BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and BNYS — to get admission in these courses you need to understand the AYUSH counselling process. Each state has a different cutoff, and the seat matrix also changes every year. This guide will tell you everything about AYUSH counselling for 2026.

What is AYUSH Counselling?

AYUSH counselling is for courses that come under the AYUSH ministry:

• **BAMS** – Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
• **BHMS** – Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery
• **BUMS** – Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery
• **BNYS** – Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences

Admission in these courses is based on NEET score. There are two types of counselling:

1. **AACCC counselling** – For All India quota (15% seats)
2. **State AYUSH counselling** – For state quota (85% seats)

If you want to take admission in AYUSH, use the AYUSH predictor to predict colleges based on your rank.

AACCC vs State AYUSH Counselling

Through AACCC counselling you can apply to colleges in any state, but seats are limited. In state counselling you get colleges from your domicile state and the cutoff is also relatively low. Read the NEET counselling guide to understand the full counselling process.

Tips for AYUSH Counselling

1. Do not ignore state counselling – Many students focus only on AACCC, but state counselling gives better chances.
2. Keep backup options – If you do not get AYUSH, look at private colleges or veterinary courses. Use the Veterinary predictor.
3. Keep documents ready – 10th, 12th marksheet, NEET scorecard, domicile certificate, caste certificate (if applicable).
4. Keep checking cutoff trends – Looking at the last 3 years of cutoff will give you an idea of which colleges you can get.
5. Use live counselling – If you are confused, book a live counselling session.

AYUSH vs MBBS – Which to Choose?

Many students have this question in their mind. MBBS is more popular, but AYUSH courses are also good career options. If your rank is 5 lakh or above, MBBS may be difficult. In that case, AYUSH is a good option.

To make the best decision based on your situation, look at counselling plans. With expert guidance you can do choice filling with confidence.
