MP AYUSH Counselling 2026: Stray Round 2 Registration Opens for UG Admissions

The Directorate of AYUSH in Madhya Pradesh has officially commenced the registration process for the second stray vacancy round of its undergraduate counselling for the 2026 academic session. This phase is intended to fill remaining State Quota seats across government, autonomous, and private institutions offering BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, and BNYS programmes.

Candidates who have qualified for the NEET UG 2026 examination and are seeking admission into these undergraduate AYUSH courses are eligible to participate. The application window is now open, and interested students must complete their registration through the official MP Online portal at ayush.mponline.gov.in.

Registration Deadlines and Counselling Schedule

The registration window for the second stray vacancy round is limited, with the final deadline set for November 16, 2026, at 11:59 PM. It is essential for applicants to complete their submissions before this time to be considered for the seat allocation process.

Following the conclusion of the registration period, candidates are required to undergo a mandatory document verification process. This verification must be completed at designated government AYUSH help centres between November 16 and November 17, 2026. Once the verification phase concludes, the authorities are scheduled to release the seat matrix for the second stray round, alongside the merit list, on November 19, 2026.

The counselling process is specifically designed to address vacancies in Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS), Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (BUMS), and Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences (BNYS) courses. Admission to these programmes is strictly based on performance in the NEET UG 2026 examination.
