AYUSH Counselling 2025 Course-wise Admission Details

If you’re preparing for AYUSH Counselling 2025, it’s important to understand the admission process for each course  including BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BSMS, and BNYS. Each course has its own NEET cutoff, counselling authority, seat availability, and eligibility rules. Admission takes place through AACCC for All India Quota and separate state counselling portals. Based on last year’s NEET data, many students were able to get government and private seats with proper choice filling and round-wise strategy. Below, you’ll find detailed information for each course to help you plan smarter and improve your chances in AYUSH admissions.

BAMS Admission 2025

BAMS Admission 2025 will be based on your NEET 2025 score and AIR. As per 2024 data, government BAMS colleges were allotted at a minimum of 568 marks (AIR 115226) for UR and OBC categories.

The admission process is conducted through AACCC for All India Quota (15%) and by state authorities for the remaining 85% seats. If your score is above NEET qualifying marks and you plan your choice filling properly, there’s a good chance to get a BAMS seat in 2025.

BHMS Admission 2025

BHMS Admission 2025 is a great option for students with moderate NEET scores. In NEET 2024, government BHMS colleges were allotted at 380 marks (AIR 414157) for UR, SC, and even in some ST cases.
