What is AYUSH Counselling?
AYUSH Counselling is the admission process for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in India's traditional and alternative systems of medicine — Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy — collectively known as AYUSH.
Admission is based on your NEET-UG (for UG courses) or NEET-PG/relevant PG entrance score. Seats are filled through two parallel processes: the AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC), which handles central pool, deemed university and central institute seats, and State AYUSH Counselling Cells, which manage state quota seats in government and private AYUSH colleges.
At Prarambh Global Solutions PVT Ltd, we simplify this dual process for you — helping you choose the right course and college, complete both central and state registrations correctly, and stay on top of every round and deadline.
