The Rajasthan NEET AYUSH UG/PG Counselling Board, Jaipur, has released the Round 1 schedule for AYUSH admission — BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, and BNYS — for 2026-27. Here's the complete confirmed timeline, along with a few structural details about how Rajasthan's AYUSH process works that are worth understanding before you register.
The Confirmed Round 1 Schedule
Registration: September 4 to September 9, 2026
Merit list and seat matrix: September 12, 2026
Choice filling: September 13 to September 17, 2026
Provisional allotment: September 19, 2026
Final allotment: September 21, 2026
Reporting for Government BAMS: September 24, 2026
Reporting for Private BAMS/BHMS/BUMS: September 25, 2026
Reporting for BNYS and remaining candidates: September 26, 2026
Candidates must report in person on their specific scheduled date — this isn't a shared reporting window across all courses, so it's worth confirming exactly which of the three reporting dates applies to your allotment before assuming any of them works.
A Structural Detail Worth Knowing: One Board Handles Everything
Unlike states where AIQ seats and state quota seats run through entirely separate counselling bodies, Rajasthan's AYUSH process is unusual in that the state board itself handles both the 85% state quota seats and the 15% All India Quota seats at private AYUSH colleges. If you're targeting a private BAMS, BHMS, or BUMS college in Rajasthan, your entire process — AIQ share included — runs through this one state board rather than being split with AACCC, the national AYUSH counselling body. This is worth knowing specifically if you're used to how MBBS counselling splits between MCC and state authorities, since AYUSH admission in Rajasthan doesn't follow quite the same pattern for private institutions.
The Counselling Fee Is Considerably Higher Than a Typical Registration Fee
Rajasthan's AYUSH counselling requires a counselling fee/security deposit of ₹25,000, payable online before choice filling. This is a meaningfully larger sum than the flat Rs. 250–1,000 registration fees seen in several other states' AYUSH or engineering counselling processes, so it's worth budgeting for this specifically and not assuming it's a nominal charge.
Separate Physical Verification for PwD, Defence, and NRI Candidates
Candidates applying under PwD, Defence/Para-Military, or NRI categories go through a distinct process: document verification for these categories happens in person at the Counselling Board's office — AYUSH Bhawan, Sector-26, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur — with the candidate required to appear with all original documents and two sets of self-attested photocopies. This runs alongside, but separately from, the main online schedule above, so candidates in these categories should confirm their specific verification appointment rather than assuming the general timeline covers them fully. Reviewing this year's broader national shift in PwD/PwBD certification standards is worth doing if this applies to you, alongside how PwBD reservation functions across government institutions more generally.
The College Landscape by Course
Government Homeopathy colleges in Rajasthan are located in Jodhpur and Ajmer, while the state's government Unani college is in Tonk. Private BHMS colleges are spread across Jaipur, Alwar, Bikaner, Sri Ganganagar, and Sirohi, and private BNYS colleges span an even wider set of districts, including Jaipur, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Jodhpur, Dausa, Chirawa, Udaipur, Barmer, and Didwana. BAMS offers the largest number of seats overall across both government and private institutions, while BHMS and BUMS have comparatively fewer government seats specifically.
Building a Realistic Choice List
With the merit list and seat matrix both published September 12, before choice filling opens September 13, you get a short but useful window to check your actual position before committing to preferences. Understanding how your NEET score maps to a realistic rank is worth doing in advance regardless, and the broader principle of evaluating a college on genuine fit rather than name recognition applies to AYUSH college selection just as it does to MBBS admissions.
Documents to Have Ready
Beyond the standard NEET UG scorecard, academic marksheets, and domicile certificate, category-specific documents — caste/category certificates, income certificates for fee relaxation, and PwD or minority certificates where applicable — should all be assembled well before your reporting date. This general checklist of documents required for NEET counselling is a useful starting point, alongside Rajasthan AYUSH's own specific requirements detailed in its information brochure.
How This Compares to Rajasthan's MBBS/BDS Process
Rajasthan's AYUSH counselling runs entirely separately from its MBBS/BDS counselling, which has already gone through its own revised Round 1 schedule and published Round 1 provisional allotment this same season. If you're tracking both processes as a family — one candidate pursuing MBBS and another pursuing AYUSH, for instance — treat them as fully independent timelines with no shared deadlines. For a similar AYUSH-specific schedule in another state, Chhattisgarh's own AYUSH Round 1 timeline is a useful point of comparison, even though the two states' specific processes and fee structures differ.
If Round 1 Isn't Your Final Outcome
Rajasthan's AYUSH counselling, like most state processes, continues with further rounds beyond Round 1 for any seats that remain vacant. Understanding how mop-up and subsequent rounds typically work is worth knowing regardless of how this first round unfolds.
Key Things to Remember
Rajasthan's AYUSH Round 1 counselling for BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, and BNYS runs registration September 4–9, merit list and seat matrix on September 12, choice filling September 13–17, provisional allotment September 19, final allotment September 21, and reporting across three separate dates by course type between September 24 and 26. The state board uniquely handles both state quota and AIQ seats for private AYUSH colleges, the counselling fee is a notable ₹25,000, and PwD, Defence, and NRI candidates go through a distinct in-person verification track at AYUSH Bhawan, Jaipur.
