Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU) in Himachal Pradesh has opened the second round of counselling for BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) and BHMS (Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery) programmes for the 2026–27 academic year. Registration began on October 6, 2026, and is open to all NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates—whether they are applying for the first time, did not secure a seat in Round 1, or were allotted a seat but chose not to join. This is a critical window for AYUSH aspirants in Himachal Pradesh, as Round 2 is the last full-schedule counselling before stray vacancy rounds with limited choice options.

Round 2 of HP AYUSH counselling is open to three categories of candidates: those applying for the first time, those who did not receive a seat allocation in Round 1, and those who were allotted a seat in Round 1 but did not report to the college. The counselling covers both government and private AYUSH colleges across Himachal Pradesh that are affiliated with AMRU.
To be eligible, you must have qualified NEET UG 2026 and meet the minimum percentile cutoff set by the Ministry of AYUSH. General candidates need a minimum of 50th percentile, SC/ST/OBC candidates need 40th percentile, and General PwD candidates need 45th percentile. You must also be at least 17 years old by December 31, 2026. For state quota seats, Himachal Pradesh domicile is mandatory.

Seat allocation: state quota vs. all-India quota
AMRU allocates BAMS and BHMS seats under two broad quotas across participating colleges in Himachal Pradesh. The state quota comprises 85 percent of total available seats and is reserved for candidates with Himachal Pradesh domicile. The all-India quota comprises 15 percent of total seats and is open to NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates from anywhere in India, subject to eligibility criteria.
If you are a Himachal Pradesh resident, you have access to the larger state quota pool. If you are from outside the state, you can compete for the 15 percent all-India quota seats. The exact number of BAMS and BHMS seats available in each category will be displayed in the official Round 2 notification PDF on the AMRU portal, so download and review it carefully before filling your choices.
- State Quota: 85% of total seats (for HP domicile candidates)
- All-India Quota: 15% of total seats (open to all NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates)
Why Round 2 is your last full-schedule counselling window
Round 2 is the final comprehensive counselling round before stray vacancy rounds begin. After Round 2 seat allocation and college reporting, any seats that remain vacant move to a stray vacancy round, which typically operates on a shorter timeline with limited choice-filling options. This means if you miss Round 2, your options in the stray round will be significantly restricted.
For fresh NEET UG 2026 candidates who did not participate in Round 1, Round 2 is your primary opportunity to secure an AYUSH seat in Himachal Pradesh. Even if you were allotted a seat in Round 1 but did not join, Round 2 gives you a second chance with the full choice-filling process. Do not delay—register, fill your choices carefully, and report to your allotted college on time to avoid losing your seat to the stray round.
Documents and eligibility proof you must prepare
Every kind of MBBS/BDS seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET rank can reach.
Before you begin online registration, gather all required documents in the prescribed format. You will need your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and admit card, proof of your category (SC/ST/OBC/General/PwD certificate if applicable), proof of age (birth certificate or school leaving certificate), and proof of Himachal Pradesh domicile if you are applying for state quota seats. Domicile proof typically includes a domicile certificate issued by the district administration or a utility bill in your name.
Ensure all documents are scanned clearly and in the file format specified by AMRU (usually PDF or JPG). Having these ready before you start registration will speed up the process and reduce the risk of submission errors. If any document is missing or unclear, your registration may be rejected or delayed, so double-check everything before uploading.

- Category certificate (if SC/ST/OBC/PwD)
- Age proof (birth certificate or school leaving certificate)
- Himachal Pradesh domicile certificate (for state quota)

What happens after you register: the choice-filling and allotment process
After registration closes, AMRU will release a merit list based on your NEET UG 2026 score and category. You will then have a specific window to log in and fill your college and course choices in order of preference. This is a critical step—the choices you fill determine which seats you are eligible for during allocation. Rank your preferred colleges and courses carefully, considering factors like location, college reputation, course specialization, and infrastructure.
Once the choice-filling window closes, AMRU will run the seat allocation algorithm and release the allotment result. If you are allotted a seat, you must report to the college on the specified date with all original documents and the security deposit receipt. Failure to report on time may result in forfeiture of your seat. After all candidates report, the security deposit is refunded. Track the AMRU portal regularly for all updates—merit list, choice-filling dates, allotment result, and reporting deadline.
