Expected 2026 AIQ BAMS Cut-Offs (General Category)

Considering trends from Round 1 counselling, below are the expected NEET All India Rank (AIR) closing ranges for General category applicants.

Changes in NEET difficulty, preferences, seat counts, and counselling rounds all impact cut-offs.

Most Popular Choices Are Still the Most Competitive

R.A. Podar Ayurved Medical College, Mumbai, holds the lowest closing ranks in the state and is, therefore, one of the most competitive BAMS colleges in Maharashtra.

Also, the excellent academic and infrastructural reputation of Tilak Ayurved Mahavidyalaya, Pune, and Ayurved Mahavidyalaya & Seth R.V. Hospital, Mumbai, have them competing for applicants with better ranks in NEET.

What is AIQ Counselling?

15% of the AIQ BAMS seats are filled through the online counselling of the AACCC.

Steps in the counselling process include:

• Registration
• Choice filling/locking
• Seat allotment
• Document verification
• Reporting

Eligibility for AIQ counselling is restricted to NEET UG qualified candidates.

BAMS Cut-Off Considerations

The final closing rank is dependent on:

• Competition
• NEET difficulty
• AIQ Seat count
• Reservation category
• Candidate preferences
• Counselling rounds

An opening rank that is lower than other institutions indicates that a college is more competitive.

Government vs Private BAMS Colleges

Data from past counselling shows that a disparity exists between government and private BAMS colleges. Private BAMS colleges continue to enrol students with an AIR of greater than 2-3 lakh. In contrast, Government BAMS colleges close admissions with an AIR of under 1 lakh. The difference shows the popularity of Government Ayurveda Colleges due to the low fee structure and Colleges’ better performance.

Documents Required During Counselling

Candidates must have the following documents ready:

• NEET UG 2026 Scorecard
• NEET UG Admit Card
• Mark Sheet of Class X
• Mark Sheet of Class XII
• Aadhaar Card
• Category Certificate (if applicable)
