AYUSH UG & PG Admission Cut-Off Date Extended for 2025–26

AYUSH UG & PG Admission Cut-Off Date Extended for 2025–26 Academic Session

The National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India has officially announced the extension of cut-off date for admissions to Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) AYUSH courses for the 2025–26 academic year. This directive impacts various courses under the AYUSH system, including Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy across recognized colleges and universities nationwide.

The notification, released on 13 January 2026, comes as a significant update for thousands of students seeking admission into BSMS, BAMS, BUMS and BHMS at the undergraduate level, and MD/MS AYUSH programs at the postgraduate level. The extension ensures that eligible candidates get sufficient time for documentation, enrolment and counselling procedures, preventing loss of seats due to administrative delays.

Revised Cut-Off Dates for AYUSH Admissions

As per the announcement, the revised cut-off dates are as follows:

• For UG AYUSH Courses: Extended to 29 January 2026

• For PG AYUSH Courses: Extended to 29 January 2026

Previously, the cut-off for UG admissions was 20 December 2025, while PG admission closure was set for 22 December 2025. The extension aligns both UG and PG timelines to improve coordination between institutions, counselling authorities and state admission bodies.

Purpose Behind the Extension

The Ministry of AYUSH has approved the extension to ensure:

✔ Maximum utilization of available seats
✔ Reduction in delays caused by counselling rounds
✔ Additional time for colleges to finalize student intake
✔ Prevention of admission lapses in AYUSH institutions
✔ Smooth onboarding for candidates waiting for counselling updates

In recent years, several AYUSH institutions faced challenges in filling seats within the original timelines due to delayed NEET counselling outcomes, documentation issues, or late reporting from students. The extended cut-off addresses these operational gaps.

Who Benefits From This Update?

The extension proves beneficial for:

➡ NEET qualified candidates awaiting AYUSH seat allocation
➡ Students seeking college upgrades in subsequent rounds
➡ Government and private AYUSH colleges facing vacant seats
➡ Counselling authorities managing state quota and all-India quota seats

This update also supports students who received late allotments due to verification delays or state-wise counselling overlaps.

Compliance Instructions for AYUSH Institutions

The notification directs all AYUSH institutions and universities to promptly implement the revised admission schedule for the current academic session. Colleges are required to:

✔ Complete admission procedures on or before the extended cut-off date
✔ Update counselling authorities on final seat status
✔ Ensure timely documentation and enrolment of admitted candidates
✔ Avoid seat wastage due to procedural delays

All stakeholders including Principals, Directors, Registrars and state counselling boards have been requested to circulate and comply with the directive immediately.

Impact on the Academic Calendar

The extension does not alter the academic commencement framework for the 2025–26 batch. Institutions are expected to adjust orientation and academic scheduling accordingly, ensuring students do not face learning gaps. The Ministry has emphasized seamless transition from counselling to classroom, maintaining education quality standards mandated by NCISM.

Role of Counselling & Admission Support

Given the evolving nature of AYUSH admission regulations, many students find the process confusing or overwhelming. Professional guidance can significantly enhance admission clarity, especially for candidates balancing college preference lists, fee structures, documentation, reservation policies, and state-wise counselling procedures.

Common admission challenges students face include:

• Lack of clarity on counselling rounds

• Delays in document verification

• Seat forfeiture due to missed reporting

• Unawareness of specialty opportunities in AYUSH PG

• State vs All-India quota allocation confusion

Expert admission support helps students avoid preventable seat losses and improves placement outcomes.
