Gujarat AYUSH Merit List: Key Details
| Particular | Details |
|---|---|
| Merit-list status | Released |
| Candidates reported | Approximately 6,800 |
| Main programmes on state portal | BAMS and BHMS |
| Merit representation deadline | September 11, 4 PM |
| Admission basis | NEET UG and applicable counselling rules |
What Courses Are Covered?
The Gujarat AYUSH undergraduate admission portal currently focuses on:
- BAMS — Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
- BHMS — Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery
AYUSH as a national umbrella also includes other traditional systems, but candidates should not assume that every AYUSH programme is included in this particular Gujarat merit-list process.
What Does Being on the Merit List Mean?
Inclusion means the candidate has entered the eligible merit framework for counselling subject to the applicable rules.
It does not guarantee admission to a particular college.
Actual allotment depends on:
- NEET UG performance
- State merit
- Category
- Quota
- College choices
- Seat availability
What If There Is an Error in the Merit List?
The official admission portal says candidates with a representation concerning the merit list can visit the same help centre where their documents were verified.
The candidate should complete the prescribed correction form and provide relevant supporting evidence by 4 PM on September 11.
What Should Candidates Check?
Review details such as:
- Name
- NEET details
- Category
- Merit number
- Eligibility
- Quota information
Any discrepancy should be addressed within the official representation window rather than waiting until seat allotment.
Gujarat AYUSH NEET Qualifying Requirements
The official Gujarat portal currently lists NEET UG qualifying scores relevant to BAMS/BHMS admission categories.
| Category | NEET UG 2026 Qualifying Score Listed |
|---|---|
| Open / EWS | 213 |
| PwD Open/EWS | 194 |
| SC / ST / SEBC and eligible category-PwD | 177 |
Qualifying NEET does not mean a candidate will receive a seat because college allotment cutoffs can be significantly higher.
BAMS vs BHMS
| BAMS | BHMS |
|---|---|
| Ayurveda-focused medical programme | Homoeopathy-focused medical programme |
| Training in Ayurvedic system with applicable modern medical components | Training in homoeopathic medicine and clinical practice |
| Separate professional pathway | Separate professional pathway |
How Should Students Choose Between BAMS and BHMS?
Candidates should not choose only by the probability of securing a seat.
Ask:
- Which medical system genuinely interests me?
- What postgraduate opportunities exist?
- What type of practice do I want?
- Which colleges have strong hospitals?
- What is the fee?
Government vs Self-Financed AYUSH College
Government institutions usually attract strong demand because of lower tuition.
Self-financed institutions can offer additional seats but may involve substantially higher fees.
Students should evaluate the complete cost before submitting choices.
What Is State Quota?
The Gujarat portal conducts admission for applicable state-quota seats under the state's AYUSH counselling framework.
State eligibility and reservation rules apply depending on the seat category.
What Is 15% SFI AIQ?
The admission authority also manages applicable All India quota seats of self-financed Ayurveda and Homeopathy colleges under the notified arrangement.
Candidates should distinguish these seats from government-college All India counselling handled through national processes.
How to Build an AYUSH Choice List
Compare:
- College recognition
- Attached hospital
- Patient load
- Faculty
- Hostel
- Tuition fee
- Distance from home
- Previous closing merit
Why Hospital Exposure Matters
AYUSH programmes involve clinical education.
A college with limited patient exposure may provide a very different training experience from one with a busy teaching hospital.
Students should therefore look beyond campus photos.
Can the Merit List Change?
Corrections and representations can lead to revisions if the admission authority accepts supporting documentation.
This is why the September 11 deadline matters.
Does 6,800 Mean 6,800 Students Will Get Seats?
No.
The number of candidates on a merit list is not the same as the number of available seats.
The eventual allotment depends on sanctioned intake and the number of seats offered through each quota.
What Happens After the Merit List?
The admission authority will proceed according to the revised counselling timetable.
Candidates should watch for:
- Choice filling
- Seat matrix
- Allotment result
- Fee payment
- Document reporting

Final Takeaway
The release of the Gujarat UG AYUSH merit list gives thousands of candidates their first clear position in the BAMS/BHMS admission race.
But the number that matters next is not simply 6,800.
Students now need to compare their merit position against actual seats, fees, colleges and preferences.
Anyone spotting a category, eligibility or merit error should use the September 11 representation window before the counselling process moves deeper into seat allotment.
