Candidates should use only the official counselling websites for registration and subsequent counselling updates.

Dr NTRUHS Official Website:
Dr NTR University of Health Sciences

UG AYUSH Counselling Portal:
AP UG AYUSH Counselling Portal

The university has instructed candidates to regularly check its website for subsequent notifications, web-options schedules and counselling instructions.

What Courses Are Covered Under Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Counselling 2026?

The 2026–27 Competent Authority Quota counselling covers three major undergraduate AYUSH programmes:

BAMS – Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery: This is the undergraduate Ayurveda medical programme.

BHMS – Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery: This is the undergraduate Homoeopathy medical programme.

BUMS – Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery: This is the undergraduate Unani medical programme.

The current notification applies to eligible seats in Government and Private Un-aided Non-Minority Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and Unani medical colleges affiliated with Dr NTRUHS.

What Is Competent Authority Quota in Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Counselling?

The present notification is specifically for Competent Authority Quota (CQ).

The university states that the CQ seats include:

• Seats remaining after contribution of 15% to All India Quota in Government AYUSH colleges, and
• Category-A seats, representing 50% of intake, in Private Un-aided Non-Minority AYUSH colleges under Dr NTRUHS.

Therefore, candidates should not confuse this process with All India Quota or Management Quota counselling.

Separate notifications may be issued for other categories or counselling channels.

NEET UG 2026 Cut-Off for Dr NTRUHS BAMS BHMS BUMS Counselling

NEET UG qualification is mandatory for admission into BAMS, BHMS and BUMS courses.

The 2026 qualifying scores notified by Dr NTRUHS are:

Category	Qualifying Percentile	NEET UG 2026 Score
General / OC / EWS	50th Percentile	715–213
General / OC / EWS PwBD	45th Percentile	212–194
SC / ST / BC	40th Percentile	212–177
PwBD-BC / PwBD-SC	40th Percentile	193–177
PwBD-ST	40th Percentile	191–178

Therefore, candidates scoring below the applicable qualifying score cannot claim eligibility merely because seats may remain vacant.

The above figures are the official NEET UG 2026 qualifying ranges specified in the Dr NTRUHS AYUSH admission notification.

Is NEET UG Qualification Enough for BAMS, BHMS or BUMS Admission?

No.

Qualifying NEET UG is only one requirement.

A candidate must also satisfy:

• Age requirements
• Educational qualification
• Course-specific requirements
• Local/non-local eligibility
• Category requirements, wherever applicable
• Document requirements
• Dr NTRUHS counselling registration
• Merit-list requirements
• Seat-allotment rules
• College reporting requirements

A candidate who obtains a merit position but is ultimately found ineligible during verification cannot claim admission merely because their name appeared in the merit list.

Age Eligibility for BAMS BHMS BUMS 2026

Candidates must have completed 17 years of age as on 31 December 2026.

Candidates born on or after 1 January 2010 are not eligible.

The date of birth will be considered according to the SSC certificate or equivalent examination certificate.

There is no upper age limit specified in the current notification.

Educational Qualification for BAMS 2026

For BAMS admission, candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent from a recognised board with:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology or Biotechnology

The candidate must also have secured the applicable qualifying score/percentile in NEET UG 2026.

The notification refers to the applicable National Commission for Indian System of Medicine regulations.

Educational Qualification for BHMS 2026

For BHMS admission, candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent from a recognised board with:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology or Biotechnology

NEET UG 2026 qualification at the applicable minimum percentile is compulsory.

The eligibility is governed by the applicable ASU&H and National Commission for Homoeopathy regulations.

Educational Qualification for BUMS 2026

BUMS has an additional language-related eligibility requirement.

Candidates must have passed 10+2 or equivalent with:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology or Biotechnology

and must qualify NEET UG 2026.

In addition, candidates must have passed Urdu, Arabic or Persian as a subject in either 10th or 12th standard.

Candidates who have not studied any of these languages must study Urdu along with Arabic and Mantiq Wa-Falsafa (Logic and Philosophy) during the first professional BUMS session, as specified in the applicable regulations.

BAMS vs BHMS vs BUMS – Basic Eligibility Difference

The basic NEET and 10+2 science requirements are similar for all three courses, but BUMS has an additional language-related condition.

Course	Basic Qualification	NEET UG	Special Requirement
BAMS	10+2 with PCB/ Biotechnology	Mandatory	As per Ayurveda regulations
BHMS	10+2 with PCB/ Biotechnology	Mandatory	As per Homoeopathy regulations
BUMS	10+2 with PCB/ Biotechnology	Mandatory	Urdu/Arabic/Persian requirement

Students interested in BUMS should therefore check the language condition particularly carefully before applying.

Dr NTRUHS BAMS BHMS BUMS Application Fee 2026

The application and processing fee notified for 2026–27 is:

Category	Application & Processing Fee
OC / BC	₹3,000
SC / ST	₹2,500
Bank charges	Extra

The application window is from 9 September 2026 at 11:00 AM to 16 September 2026 at 9:00 PM.

The university has stated that the fee paid by candidates is not transferable or refundable under any circumstances.

How to Apply for Dr NTRUHS BAMS BHMS BUMS Counselling 2026

Candidates should complete the application online.

The broad process is:

Step 1: Visit the official Dr NTRUHS website or AYUSH counselling portal.

Step 2: Read the 2026–27 AYUSH prospectus carefully.

Step 3: Check eligibility, especially local/non-local status.

Step 4: Enter the required basic details.

Step 5: Generate the User ID.

Step 6: Pay the application and processing fee online.

Step 7: Upload the required scanned original certificates.

Step 8: Upload photograph and signature in the prescribed format.

Step 9: Complete and submit the online application.

Step 10: Download/print the completed application and verification status for future use.

Candidates should carefully verify every detail before final submission.

Important: The Same Application Is Used for All Counselling Rounds

One particularly important point in the 2026 notification is that the same application will be considered for all counselling rounds, including stray vacancies, subject to eligibility.

Therefore, candidates do not normally have to submit a completely new application for every phase merely to remain in the counselling process.

However, candidates must still follow the separate web-options notification for each phase and participate when required.

Is Offline Admission Allowed?

No.

Dr NTRUHS has clearly stated that there shall be no offline admission and no admission without counselling.

Admissions made contrary to the applicable counselling process or after the prescribed cut-off date are liable to be cancelled/not approved.

Students should therefore be extremely cautious if any college or individual claims that a seat can be secured through direct/offline admission outside the official counselling process.

Documents Required for Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Counselling 2026

Candidates should prepare the following documents before completing the application:

1. NEET UG 2026 Rank Card – Mandatory
2. SSC marks memo/birth certificate
3. Intermediate marks memo or equivalent qualifying examination certificate
4. Study certificates from 6th to 10th class
5. Intermediate/equivalent study certificates for two years
6. Transfer Certificate
7. Caste certificate, if applicable
8. Minority certificate, if applicable
9. EWS Income & Asset Certificate for 2026–27, where applicable
10. Parental income certificate/White Ration Card, where applicable
11. PwBD certificate/UDID and required affidavits, where applicable
12. NCC certificate, where applicable
13. CAP certificate and supporting documents, where applicable
14. Documents required for claiming 15% unreserved seats
15. Aadhaar Card
16. AP local-status certificate, where applicable
17. Recent passport-size photograph
18. Candidate’s specimen signature

The university has prescribed individual file-size limits for uploaded certificates. Candidates should follow the specifications in the official notification rather than uploading oversized or unclear files.

Documents for Andhra Pradesh Local Status

Candidates must carefully verify whether they are eligible under the local or non-local category.

For candidates seeking consideration under the 15% unreserved seats, the notification specifies documents such as:

• Minimum 10 years study certificate of the student or either parent in Andhra Pradesh, or
• Proof of minimum 10 years residence in Andhra Pradesh of either parent, or
• Current employment certificate of either parent if working in Andhra Pradesh.

The exact applicability depends on the candidate’s circumstances and the relevant rules.

Candidates who migrated from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh may need a Local Status Certificate issued online by the MRO in Andhra Pradesh, wherever applicable.

Why Are Study Certificates Important?

Study certificates are important because Dr NTRUHS uses them to determine applicable local/non-local status and other eligibility conditions.

Candidates should not upload random school documents if the required study certificates are available.

The university specifically asks for study certificates from 6th to 10th class and Intermediate/equivalent study certificates for the required period.

EWS Certificate Requirement for 2026–27

Candidates claiming EWS status must provide an Income and Asset Certificate valid for the 2026–27 year.

The notification specifies that the certificate should pertain to Andhra Pradesh and be issued by the Tahsildar of Andhra Pradesh on or after 1 April 2026, based on the specified financial year.

Candidates should therefore not assume that an old EWS certificate will automatically be accepted.

PwBD Candidates in BAMS BHMS BUMS Counselling

Candidates claiming Persons with Benchmark Disability status must provide the required PwBD documentation.

Candidates must mention their PwBD status in the online application.

They may also have to appear before a Medical Board constituted by the competent authority/university for determination of eligibility under the PwBD category.

The medical board’s assessment is important for determining whether the candidate can claim the PwBD category.

NCC and CAP Categories

Candidates seeking benefits under special categories such as NCC or CAP must upload the relevant certificates.

For CAP candidates, the university requires supporting documents depending on whether the parent is serving or retired, including the applicable service/discharge and priority documents.

Candidates claiming these categories should not wait until allotment to arrange certificates because the relevant documents are required during the counselling process.

PIO and OCI Candidates

The current notification states that candidates registered as PIO/OCI card holders on or after 4 March 2021 are eligible only against applicable Non-Resident Indian seats or supernumerary seats and are not eligible for seats reserved exclusively for Indian citizens.

Candidates with OCI/PIO status should therefore carefully check the quota under which they are applying.

How Is the Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Merit List Prepared?

The State Merit Position will be prepared using the candidate’s:

• NEET UG 2026 score
• NEET UG 2026 rank
• Eligibility conditions
• Category
• Local/non-local status
• Other applicable admission rules

The university will scrutinise the certificates uploaded by candidates.

After scrutiny, the provisional merit list will be published.

After grievances are considered, the final merit position will be released.

Provisional Merit List vs Final Merit List

Students should understand the difference.

The provisional merit list is prepared after initial scrutiny and is not necessarily the final determination of eligibility.

Candidates may be provided an opportunity to raise grievances according to the notification issued by the university.

After considering valid grievances, Dr NTRUHS will release the final merit position.

A candidate should therefore not treat the provisional merit list as the final confirmation of admission eligibility.

What If Your Name Is Not in the Merit List?

If a candidate does not find their name in the provisional merit list, they should carefully check the official lists released by Dr NTRUHS.

If there is a discrepancy, the candidate should follow the grievance/objection process announced by the university.

Candidates should not rely on verbal assurances from colleges or social media groups.

Only the official Dr NTRUHS process can correct the merit-list status.

What Happens After the Final Merit List?

After the final merit position is published, Dr NTRUHS is expected to release:

1. Seat matrix
2. Web-options notification
3. Choice-filling instructions
4. Eligible candidate list, wherever applicable
5. Phase-I allotment result
6. Reporting instructions

As of 10 September 2026, these stages have not yet been announced for the 2026–27 CQ counselling.

Dr NTRUHS BAMS BHMS BUMS Seat Matrix 2026

The 2026–27 seat matrix has not yet been released as of 10 September 2026.

Students should therefore avoid using the 2025–26 seat matrix as the confirmed 2026–27 seat availability.

The actual number of seats can change because of:

• New permissions
• Seat increases/decreases
• College affiliation
• Regulatory decisions
• Government orders
• National Commission requirements
• Withdrawal or addition of seats

The official 2026–27 seat matrix should be treated as the final authority for choice filling.

How Will Web Options Work?

After the final merit list and seat matrix are released, eligible candidates will be asked to exercise web options.

The broad process is expected to involve:

Login → View available colleges/courses → Select choices → Arrange preferences → Save/submit options → Lock/confirm as instructed.

The exact dates and rules will be provided in the Phase-I web-options notification.

Students should not assume that the web-options process will be identical to last year’s process.

How Should Students Fill BAMS BHMS BUMS Web Options?

Students should prepare their choices before the web-options window opens.

A candidate should consider:

• BAMS/BHMS/BUMS preference
• College reputation
• Government vs private college
• Tuition fee
• Hostel
• Clinical exposure
• Hospital/patient exposure
• Location
• Travel
• Infrastructure
• Faculty
• Internship opportunities
• Personal financial capacity
• Previous-year closing trends

Candidates should arrange choices according to their actual preference, not merely according to social-media predictions.

Should I Fill Only a Few Choices?

There is no advantage in unnecessarily restricting your choices if there are several colleges/courses that you would genuinely accept.

However, candidates should never select a college/course that they are unwilling or financially unable to join merely because they believe it increases their chances.

A choice can potentially lead to allotment, so every submitted option should be treated seriously.

How Does BAMS/BHMS/BUMS Seat Allotment Work?

Seat allotment is carried out after the web-options window closes.

The allotment depends on factors including:

• State merit position
• NEET UG rank/score
• Category
• Local/non-local status
• Applicable reservation
• Available seats
• Candidate’s web options
• Course preference
• College preference
• Applicable government and regulatory rules

A higher-ranked candidate generally receives priority when competing for the same seat under the same applicable conditions, but the actual allotment depends on the rules and seat matrix for the particular counselling phase.

What Should You Do After Seat Allotment?

Candidates who receive a seat should:

1. Download the provisional allotment order.
2. Check college and course.
3. Check reporting deadline.
4. Pay the required fee as instructed.
5. Prepare original certificates.
6. Report to the allotted college.
7. Complete document verification.
8. Submit the required documents.
9. Complete admission formalities.
10. Obtain confirmation of joining.

Candidates must strictly follow the deadline mentioned in the allotment notification.

Original Certificate Verification at the College

The university states that candidates must submit the printout of the completed online application and personal verification status along with original certificates and one set of self-attested copies to the Principal of the allotted college at the time of joining.

If a discrepancy is found during verification, the provisional allotment can be cancelled.

Therefore, students should never assume that an online allotment automatically guarantees final admission.

What If False Information Is Submitted?

Dr NTRUHS has issued a strict warning.

If the information furnished by a candidate is incorrect, the candidature can be cancelled.

If certificates are found to be fake, false or forged at any stage, the university can cancel the seat/admission without notice and take further action as applicable.

Students should therefore upload only genuine and valid documents.

Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Tuition Fee 2026

The current notification states that:

Government college tuition fee: As fixed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

For private colleges, the notification states that the tuition fee structure for 2026–27 will be as fixed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

Therefore, students should not treat old fee figures or unofficial websites as the final 2026–27 fee structure.

The notification also reproduces the earlier block-period fee information for certain private colleges, but explicitly states that the tuition fee structure for 2026–27 will be as fixed by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

Is the Counselling Application Fee Refundable?

No.

Dr NTRUHS has stated that the application fee paid by candidates is not transferable and not refundable under any circumstances.

Will the Same Application Be Valid for Later Rounds?

Yes, according to the current 2026 notification, the same application will be considered for all counselling rounds, including stray vacancies, subject to the candidate fulfilling the applicable eligibility conditions.

However, candidates must participate in the web-options process whenever a particular counselling phase requires it.

Will There Be Phase-II, Phase-III or Stray Vacancy Counselling?

The exact 2026–27 schedule has not yet been announced.

Based on the counselling framework used by Dr NTRUHS, subsequent phases can be conducted to fill available vacant seats, subject to the directions of the relevant authorities.

Previous Dr NTRUHS AYUSH counselling included Phase-II, Phase-III, stray-vacancy and special stray-vacancy processes, including web options and college-wise allotments.

However, candidates should not assume that the same number or exact sequence of rounds will automatically occur in 2026–27.

The 2026 schedule will depend on seat vacancies and directions issued by the university and regulatory authorities.

Can I Get a Seat Without Participating in Counselling?

No.

Dr NTRUHS explicitly states that there will be no offline admission or admission without counselling.

Any admission made contrary to the applicable counselling process can be cancelled/not approved.

Can a College Directly Give Me a BAMS/BHMS/BUMS Seat?

Candidates should not accept claims of direct admission outside the authorised counselling process.

Even if a college has vacant seats, the seat must be filled according to the applicable counselling and regulatory rules.

Students should verify every admission through the official Dr NTRUHS process.

What Is the Difference Between Dr NTRUHS CQ, AIQ and Management Quota?

Students often confuse these three.

Competent Authority Quota (CQ): This is the state counselling process covered by the current Dr NTRUHS notification.

All India Quota (AIQ): A separate national-level admission channel handled according to the applicable AYUSH counselling framework.

Management Quota (MQ): Applicable seats in private institutions filled under separate rules and notifications.

The current notification is specifically for CQ seats. Students seeking AIQ or Management Quota seats should follow the separate notifications applicable to those categories.

What Is the Current Status of Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Counselling 2026?

Counselling Stage	Status

Final Advice for BAMS, BHMS & BUMS Aspirants

The Dr NTRUHS AYUSH Counselling 2026 process is currently at the application stage.

The immediate deadline students must remember is:

16 September 2026 – 9:00 PM

Candidates should complete their applications well before the deadline and ensure that all certificates are uploaded correctly.

The next major milestones will be the provisional merit list, grievance process, final merit list, 2026–27 seat matrix and web-options notification.

Students should not make college choices based on old counselling data until the official 2026–27 seat matrix is published.

Most importantly, qualifying NEET UG does not automatically guarantee a BAMS, BHMS or BUMS seat. Candidates must successfully complete the Dr NTRUHS counselling process, satisfy state eligibility requirements, obtain a seat through web-based counselling and complete college reporting and original-document verification.
