What is the difference between AIQ and state quota AYUSH counselling?
AIQ (All India Quota) AYUSH counselling is conducted by AACCC and covers 15% of seats in AYUSH colleges across India. These seats are open to candidates from any state.
State quota AYUSH counselling is managed by individual state authorities and covers 85% of seats in AYUSH colleges within the state. These seats are primarily reserved for state residents.
AIQ allows candidates to apply to top AYUSH colleges nationwide, offering broader opportunities. However, competition is higher due to applicants from all states vying for limited seats.
State quota counselling provides better chances for local candidates as competition is restricted to state residents, often resulting in lower cutoffs compared to AIQ.
The AIQ counselling process involves centralized registration, choice filling, and seat allotment based on NEET ranks. This ensures a uniform admission procedure across the country.
For state quota, candidates register on their respective state's portal, with similar steps like choice filling and seat allotment. However, procedures and cutoffs may vary slightly by state.
Participating in both AIQ and state quota counselling maximizes chances of securing a seat in a reputable AYUSH college. Staying updated with both schedules is crucial for successful admission.
Understanding the differences and strategic participation in both can help candidates secure a desirable seat in the competitive AYUSH admission landscape.
