MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 is the state-level admission process for NEET UG-qualified candidates seeking admission to AYUSH undergraduate courses in Madhya Pradesh.

Candidates who are also exploring the broader medical counselling process can refer to our MP NEET UG Counselling 2026 guide for registration, counselling stages and admission-related information.

Through the counselling process, eligible candidates can apply for courses such as BAMS, BHMS and BUMS, depending on the courses and seats offered in the respective counselling year. The process includes registration, document verification, merit-list publication, choice filling, seat allotment, reporting and admission.

The counselling is conducted online by the Department of AYUSH, Government of Madhya Pradesh. The official counselling portal is ayush.mponline.gov.in.

Important: The complete MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 schedule has not been officially released yet. Therefore, dates mentioned as expected in this article are estimates based on previous counselling timelines and should not be treated as final.

The Department of AYUSH, Madhya Pradesh, is expected to release the MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 schedule after the relevant NEET UG and AYUSH counselling timelines are finalized.

For 2025, MP AYUSH counselling registration began in September, followed by document verification, merit-list publication, choice filling and seat allotment. The 2025 Round 1 seat allotment was conducted on September 24, followed by college reporting from September 25 to September 27.

Based on this previous timeline, candidates can expect MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 to take place around a similar period, although the actual dates may change.

MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 Dates — Expected Timeline

Note: The 2026 schedule has not been officially announced yet. The dates below are estimates based on the previous counselling cycle and are provided only for planning purposes.

Why Are the 2026 Dates Not Confirmed Yet?

AYUSH counselling schedules depend on multiple factors, including the NEET UG admission timeline, seat availability, regulatory approvals and the schedules released by the relevant counselling authorities.

Therefore, candidates should not rely on unofficial websites for final deadlines.

The official MP AYUSH portal should be checked whenever a new notification is released.

What Is MP AYUSH Counselling 2026?

MP AYUSH Counselling is the admission process through which eligible NEET UG candidates can compete for AYUSH seats in participating institutions across Madhya Pradesh.

The counselling covers eligible undergraduate AYUSH courses such as:

• BAMS – Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
• BHMS – Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery
• BUMS – Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery
• BNYS – Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences, where applicable

The exact courses and participating colleges can vary by counselling year and seat matrix.

Who Conducts MP AYUSH Counselling?

MP AYUSH state counselling is conducted by the Department of AYUSH, Government of Madhya Pradesh.

Candidates should not confuse it with AACCC counselling, which handles All India Quota and other centrally administered AYUSH seats.

AACCC states that AIQ counselling for eligible BAMS, BSMS, BUMS and BHMS seats is conducted centrally, while counselling for private AYUSH institutions is handled by the respective State/UT counselling authorities.

Official MP AYUSH Counselling Website

Candidates should use the official MP AYUSH counselling portal for registration and updates:

ayush.mponline.gov.in

Which Courses Are Offered Through MP AYUSH Counselling?

The major AYUSH courses candidates may encounter include:

The availability of a particular course depends on the participating colleges and the official seat matrix released for the counselling year.

• NEET UG 2026 scorecard
• NEET UG 2026 admit card
• Class 10 marksheet/certificate
• Class 12 marksheet/certificate
• Valid photo ID
• Domicile certificate, where applicable
• Category certificate, if applicable
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Migration certificate, where applicable
• Transfer certificate, where applicable
• Medical fitness certificate, if required
• Other documents specified in the official notification

The exact document list should be checked against the 2026 counselling notification before submission.

MP AYUSH Merit List 2026

After registration and document verification, the counselling authority prepares the state merit list.

The merit list can contain details such as:

• Candidate name
• NEET rank
• NEET score
• State merit rank
• Category
• Domicile status
• Eligibility status

The merit position is important because it influences the candidate’s position during seat allotment.

Candidates should check the merit list carefully and follow the instructions if the authority provides an opportunity to raise an objection or correction.

MP AYUSH 2026 Choice Filling

Choice filling is one of the most important stages of MP AYUSH counselling.

Candidates select their preferred:

• AYUSH course
• Government colleges
• Private colleges
• College-course combinations
• Applicable seat categories

The choices should be entered in the actual order of preference.

How to Create an MP AYUSH Choice List

A practical strategy is to divide your options into three groups:

Do not fill choices based only on a college’s popularity.

Consider:

• NEET rank
• Previous closing trends
• Course preference
• Tuition fee
• Hostel cost
• Location
• College infrastructure
• Hospital/clinical exposure
• Recognition and affiliation
• Career goals

MP AYUSH Seat Allotment 2026

After choice filling and locking, the counselling authority conducts the seat allotment process.

The allotment depends on factors such as:

• NEET merit
• State merit position
• Category
• Candidate preferences
• Seat availability
• Applicable reservation
• Eligibility

Candidates should download their allotment result immediately after it is released.

What to Check in the Seat Allotment Result

Check:

• Candidate name
• NEET rank
• Allotted college
• Course
• Category
• Seat type
• Reporting instructions
• Admission deadline
• Further-round instructions

What After MP AYUSH Seat Allotment?

If you receive a seat, do not stop at downloading the allotment letter.

You generally need to:

1. Download the allotment letter.
2. Check the reporting deadline.
3. Visit the allotted college/institution.
4. Complete document verification.
5. Pay the applicable admission fee.
6. Complete joining formalities.
7. Follow instructions regarding subsequent rounds or upgradation.

Missing the reporting deadline can affect your admission.

MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 Round 2

Candidates who are not satisfied with their Round 1 allotment may have an opportunity to participate in subsequent rounds, subject to the official counselling rules.

The exact Round 2, Round 3 and stray vacancy dates for 2026 should not be published as confirmed until the authority releases them.

This is particularly important because AYUSH counselling schedules can change during the admission cycle.

For comparison, the 2025 MP AYUSH process continued beyond Round 1, with later counselling and stray vacancy rounds conducted for eligible candidates.

MP AYUSH Counselling: Government vs Private Colleges

The choice between government and private AYUSH colleges should be based on more than just the cutoff.

Before choosing a private college, calculate the complete cost of the course, including tuition, hostel, examination charges and other institutional expenses.

MP AYUSH Counselling 2026 Cutoff

The MP AYUSH cutoff 2026 cannot be known accurately before the counselling rounds are completed.

The closing rank can vary depending on:

• NEET 2026 score distribution
• Number of candidates
• Number of seats
• Course preference
• College preference
• Category
• Government/private status
• Round of counselling
• Seat vacancies

Therefore, previous-year cutoff data should be used as a reference rather than a guaranteed cutoff.

What Is a Safe Score for MP BAMS/BHMS/BUMS?

There is no single safe score for every AYUSH course or college.

A score that may be sufficient for one private college could be insufficient for a government college.

For a realistic assessment, candidates should compare:

NEET Score + Rank + Category + Domicile + Course + College + Previous Closing Rank

This provides a much better estimate than using a single “safe score.”

MP AYUSH Counselling 2026: State Counselling vs AACCC

This is an important distinction for NEET candidates.

MP AYUSH State Counselling

Conducted by the Madhya Pradesh AYUSH counselling authority for applicable state-level seats.

AACCC Counselling

The Ayush Admissions Central Counseling Committee (AACCC) conducts counselling for applicable All India Quota seats and other centrally administered AYUSH institutions.

AACCC’s UG counselling framework includes multiple rounds, including Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and Stray Vacancy Rounds.

Candidates should check their eligibility for both pathways rather than assuming that registration in one automatically covers the other.

MP AYUSH Counselling 2026: Previous-Year Timeline Reference

Because the 2026 dates are not yet confirmed, previous-year data can help candidates understand the likely sequence.

For MP AYUSH 2025 Round 1:

• Registration: September 11–15, 2025
• Document verification: September 12–16, 2025
• Merit list: September 18, 2025
• Choice filling: September 19–21, 2025
• Seat allotment: September 24, 2025
• College reporting: September 25–27, 2025

These dates are useful for understanding the process, but they should not be copied as 2026 dates.

Common Mistakes in MP AYUSH Counselling

1. Treating Expected Dates as Confirmed

Do not plan admission around an unofficial date.

2. Filling Too Few Choices

A short preference list can reduce your chances of receiving a suitable seat.

3. Ignoring Private College Fees

Always calculate the total course cost before locking choices.

4. Choosing Only by College Name

Course quality, clinical exposure, infrastructure and fees also matter.

5. Missing Document Verification

Candidates should complete verification within the prescribed window.

6. Confusing AACCC and MP Counselling

These are separate counselling pathways.

7. Waiting Until the Last Day

Registration, choice locking and reporting deadlines can be strict.

MP AYUSH Counselling 2026: Step-by-Step Process

The complete process can be summarized as:

NEET UG 2026 → MP AYUSH Registration → Document Verification → Merit List → Choice Filling → Choice Locking → Seat Allotment → Reporting → Admission → Subsequent Rounds

Candidates should save copies of every submitted form, fee receipt, allotment letter and important counselling communication.

Introduction

MP MBBS/BDS Counselling 2026 Round 1 has started with the release of the tentative time schedule by the Office of Commissioner Medical Education, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. This counselling is for students who want admission to MBBS and BDS courses through MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling 2026.

For many students, the main confusion begins after registration: when will the merit list come, how to fill choices, when allotment will be declared and what to do after getting a seat. This blog focuses on the complete Round 1 process from merit list to reporting and upgradation.

MP MBBS/BDS Counselling 2026 Round 1 Overview

Round 1 Full Schedule

Students should follow the complete Round 1 schedule carefully. The process starts with online registration and ends with reporting, resignation/cancellation window and upgradation option for the second round.

State Merit List: What Students Should Check

The state merit list of registered candidates will be published on 14 August 2026. This list is important because it confirms the candidate’s participation status for Round 1 counselling.

Students should check their name, NEET details, category, domicile status and other details in the merit list. If any issue is found, they should follow the official instructions issued by the counselling authority.

Choice Filling and Locking: Most Important Step

Choice filling and locking will be available from 15 August to 18 August 2026 up to 11:59 PM. MP domicile registered candidates should fill choices in a planned order. The order of preference matters because allotment is processed according to merit, category, availability and choices filled.

Students should not copy anyone else’s choice list. Every candidate has a different NEET rank, category, budget, college preference and course preference. A choice list should be made after checking MBBS and BDS options properly.

How to Prepare a Better Choice Filling List

Start with your most preferred colleges, then add realistic options according to your rank and category. Keep backup colleges in the lower part of the list. Students targeting private colleges should check fees and other admission costs before adding choices.

It is also important to decide whether MBBS is the only target or BDS is also acceptable. If both courses are acceptable, keep course preference clear before locking choices.
