You have registered. You know your eligibility. You understand the reservation and fee structure. Now comes the part that most students feel anxious about what actually happens during the Rajasthan AYUSH UG Counselling 2026 process, round by round, step by step?
This is the third and final part of our series on Rajasthan AYUSH UG Counselling 2026. In this part, we cover the complete seven-step counselling process, what each round means and what rules apply, what happens if you miss a deadline, and the exact documents you need to carry on reporting day.
Overview: How Rajasthan AYUSH UG Counselling 2026 Works
The entire counselling process from registration to final admission is conducted 100% online through the official portals www.rajugpgayushcounselling.in and https://rajayushcounselling.com. The only offline component is when you physically report at the counselling board office in Jaipur after receiving a seat allotment, to submit documents and pay fees.
No college is permitted to conduct direct or offline admission. Any admission made at the institute level, or without counselling, will not be approved by NCISM or NCH, and the institution faces legal consequences. This rule protects you it means your seat is secure once allotted through the official system.
The Seven-Step Rajasthan AYUSH UG Counselling Process 2026
Step 1 — Online Registration
The first step is completing the online registration on the official counselling portal. This involves:
- Filling out the application form completely online (Part 1 and Part 2)
- Uploading a recent, clear color photograph
- Carefully selecting your category and sub-category (this cannot be changed later under any circumstances)
- Paying the non-refundable registration fee (₹2,000 for most; ₹1,500 for SC/ST Rajasthan domicile)
Both Rajasthan domicile and non-domicile candidates register through the same portal. Rajasthan domicile candidates register for state quota seats, while non-domicile candidates and those applying for AIQ in private colleges also use the same system.
In Round 1 and Round 2, candidates from other states can also register for the 15% AIQ seats in private AYUSH institutions of Rajasthan through this portal.
Critical reminder: Not registering during the registration window means you are completely excluded from the counselling process. There is no provision for late registration.
Step 2 — Document Verification (For Specific Categories Only)
Unlike MBBS counselling where document verification is broader, the Rajasthan AYUSH document verification at the counselling board office applies only to three specific groups:
- PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) candidates
- Defence personnel wards (Certificate Priority categories 1, 2, and 3 as per the state order)
- Para-Military personnel wards
- NRI candidates
If you fall into any of these categories, you must appear in person at the AYUSH Counselling Board Office, AYUSH Bhawan, Sector-26, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur with:
- All original documents
- Two sets of self-attested photocopies of all documents
General, OBC, MBC, SC, ST, and EWS candidates do not need to appear for document verification at the board level. Their documents are verified at the time of reporting to the allotted college.
Step 3 — Provisional Merit List
After registration and document verification (where applicable), the counselling board publishes provisional merit lists on the official websites. These include:
- Merit lists for all State Quota seats, category-wise
- Merit lists for 15% AIQ seats in private AYUSH institutions, category-wise
This is when you can see your rank within your category and gauge which colleges may be accessible to you. For BAMS BHMS BUMS admission in Rajasthan 2026, your rank in the merit list is the primary factor determining your chances.
Step 4 — Choice Filling and Counselling Fee Payment
This is the most strategically important step of the entire process. Before you can fill your choices, you must deposit ₹25,000 as counselling security money online through net banking, debit card, or credit card.
Once the fee is paid, you can fill your college preferences in order of priority on the portal.
Tips for choice filling:
Fill as many valid choices as possible ranking your most preferred college first and going down in preference order. The more choices you fill, the better your chances of getting a college that suits you. Your choices are processed in merit order, and you receive the highest-preference college that has a vacant seat for your category.
Candidates should visit individual institution websites before filling choices to verify fee structures, hostel availability, infrastructure, and any specific eligibility requirements imposed by the college or university it is affiliated with.
Fresh choice filling is required in every round. If you want to participate in Round 2 for a seat upgrade or if you didn't get a seat in Round 1, you must fill fresh choices for Round 2. Your Round 1 choices do not automatically carry forward.
Step 5 — Seat Allotment
Seat allotment happens entirely based on:
- Your NEET UG 2026 All India Rank
- Your category and reservation eligibility
- Your domicile status
- The availability of seats at the time of processing
- The order of your choice filling
Allotment results are published on the official counselling websites. Check these regularly. Not checking the website is not accepted as a valid reason for missing your reporting date.
Step 6 — Reporting and Admission
After seat allotment, you must report in person at:
AYUSH Counselling Board Office AYUSH Bhawan, Sector-26, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur
You need to carry:
- Downloaded allotment letter
- All original documents
- One set of self-attested photocopies
- Annual college fee payment (through Demand Draft or online payment in favor of Chairman, AYUSH UG Admission Counselling Board, Payable at Jaipur), after adjustment of the ₹25,000 security money already paid
The fee paid here is for the first year of your course. After this payment and document verification, your admission is confirmed.
You must also undergo a medical fitness examination at the allotted institution on the notified date. Candidates who fail medical examination or do not appear for it lose their admission claim.
If you join a college through Round 1 allotment and want to try for a better college in Round 2, you can still participate in Round 2 for upgradation by filling fresh choices during the Round 2 choice filling window.
Step 7 — Seat Surrender
If you received an allotment in Round 1 and want to give it up before Round 2 begins, you must appear in person at the counselling board office in Jaipur with the required documents and receipts to formally surrender your seat.
You are eligible for a refund of your ₹25,000 counselling security money only if you surrender your Round 1 seat before the Round 2 schedule is officially released. After Round 2 begins, surrendering a seat forfeits your security money.
Understanding Each Counselling Round in Detail
Round 1
Round 1 is open to all eligible registered candidates. Key rules:
- If you receive an allotment and join the college, you are eligible to participate in Round 2 for seat upgradation by filling fresh choices.
- If you receive an allotment and do not join, you are treated as a fresh candidate in Round 2. Your ₹25,000 security money is not forfeited at this stage.
- If you receive an allotment and want to surrender your seat, appear at the counselling board office before Round 2 begins and your security money will be refunded.
Candidates eligible for Round 2 include fresh candidates who didn't register in Round 1, those who didn't receive allotment in Round 1, those seeking upgradation after joining in Round 1, and those whose Round 1 allotment was cancelled during document verification.
Round 2
Round 2 is when the stakes get higher. Key rules:
- Fresh choice filling is mandatory, Round 1 choices do not carry forward.
- If you are allotted a seat in Round 2 and do not join, your ₹25,000 security money is forfeited and your allotment is cancelled.
- If your seat is cancelled because you provided wrong information at registration or fail to produce documents, the security money is also forfeited.
- Seats allotted through Round 2 are considered final. There is no further round for candidates who receive Round 2 allotments unless additional vacant seats become available.
Round 3 / Mop-Up Round
The Mop-Up Round is conducted if vacant seats remain after Round 2. Key rules:
- No fresh application form is required for candidates already registered.
- Those who did not receive allotment in Round 1 or Round 2 are automatically considered.
- Fresh choice filling is required.
- After the AACCC (central counselling) merit list is exhausted and vacant AIQ seats from government colleges are transferred to the state board, these are filled in subsequent rounds as per Rajasthan government norms.
Stray Vacancy Round
The Stray Vacancy Round is the final stage, conducted as per Ministry of AYUSH directions. After the AACCC counselling process is complete and residual vacant seats are transferred to the Rajasthan counselling board, a Stray Vacancy Round is held. Candidates must submit a fresh application form for this round.
Important dual-counselling rule: If you receive a state quota or AIQ seat from the Rajasthan AYUSH Board in any round and then receive an AIQ seat from AACCC in a subsequent AACCC round, you must vacate the Rajasthan-allotted seat before joining the AACCC allotted seat. Failure to vacate results in disqualification from the entire counselling session.
What Happens If You Miss the Reporting Date?
This is a situation with zero flexibility. There is no provision for extension of the joining date under any circumstances in Rajasthan AYUSH counselling.
If you do not report in person at the allotted reporting centre as per the schedule notified in your allotment letter, your allotment is automatically cancelled. This applies regardless of your reason illness, travel delay, family emergency, or anything else.
If you genuinely cannot attend due to a medical emergency, your parent or guardian may appear on your behalf for document verification only, provided they can present the original certificates. Your formal admission is confirmed only when you personally appear, are found medically fit, and complete all formalities.

Rules You Must Not Ignore
No admission after the cutoff date. The Ministry of AYUSH and NCISM/NCH set a firm cutoff date for AYUSH admissions each year. No authority including the counselling board, university, or state government has the power to extend this date. Admissions attempted after the cutoff are simply not approved.
Impersonation leads to permanent debarment. Any candidate found to have used someone else's documents or identity is handed over to police and permanently debarred from AYUSH admissions across India.
Present resignation/relieving letter if currently enrolled elsewhere. If you are currently studying at another institution and receiving an AYUSH seat, you must present an accepted resignation or relieving letter from your current institution at the time of reporting. Failure to do so results in disqualification.
No institute-level counselling is valid. Any admission made directly by a college without the state or central counselling board is not approved by NCISM/NCH. The institution faces penalties under the NCISM Act 2020 or NCH Act 2020. Do not fall for any direct admission offers from private AYUSH colleges.
Keep visiting the official websites. All schedule announcements, merit lists, allotment results, and important notices are published only on the official portals. The counselling board does not entertain requests or complaints from candidates who missed information because they did not check the website.
Final Advice for Rajasthan AYUSH UG 2026 Aspirants
Three practical points before you start your counselling journey.
Start document preparation now. Certificate formats like Proforma 1 (Defence), Proforma 2 (Para-Military), Proforma 3-5 (NRI), and PwBD affidavits take time to get signed, countersigned, notarized, and authenticated. These cannot be arranged overnight. Begin the process as soon as NEET results are announced.
Do not depend on a single round. Many candidates who do not get their preferred college in Round 1 end up with excellent colleges in Round 2 due to seat upgradation and movement. Participate in every round and fill fresh choices each time.
For NRI candidates especially: The documentation requirements are extensive and internationally notarized documents take weeks to arrange. Start as soon as you decide to apply not after counselling begins.
The complete Rajasthan AYUSH UG counselling process 2026 is manageable when you approach it step by step. The system is fair, fully merit-based, and transparent as long as you follow the official process and stay up to date on schedule announcements.
