NEET UG 2026 Application Process for AYUSH Course

The application process for AYUSH courses is closely linked to NEET UG and does not rely solely on a single chapter of the Information Bulletin. Candidates must refer to relevant chapters, paragraphs, and appendices of the official NEET UG Information Bulletin for details on eligibility criteria, age limits, reservation policies, qualifying standards, and documentation requirements.

Any provision related to admissions that is not explicitly mentioned in the main application section is generally addressed in other parts of the bulletin. Ignoring these sections may result in incomplete understanding of the admission rules.

Reference to Regulatory Guidelines for NEET UG 2026

Candidates must consult official regulations, guidelines, instructions, notifications, and circulars issued by competent authorities. These include:

• Ministry of AYUSH

• AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC)

• National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM)

• National Commission of Homoeopathy (NCH)

These authorities are responsible for framing policies related to seat allocation, counselling procedures, institutional eligibility, and academic standards.
