Atal Medical and Research University (AMRU) in Himachal Pradesh has opened the registration window for Round 3 of the HP AYUSH UG Counselling 2026, covering admissions to Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) programmes. This round is significant for NEET UG 2026 scorers because it represents a structured merit-based allocation opportunity before the final stray vacancy round. The counselling covers 85 percent of available seats under the Himachal Pradesh state quota. Candidates who did not secure a seat in earlier rounds, as well as fresh applicants, are eligible to participate. Registration and choice filling must be completed within the official timeline on the AMRU portal.
Round 3 is your last structured chance to secure a BAMS or BHMS seat in Himachal Pradesh for 2026—register on amruhp.ac.in before the deadline closes.

Unlock My College ListWhat is HP AYUSH UG Round 3 and who should apply
Round 3 of the HP AYUSH UG Counselling 2026 is a merit-based seat allocation process conducted by AMRU for undergraduate AYUSH programmes in Himachal Pradesh. It is open to all candidates who hold a valid NEET UG 2026 scorecard and meet the state eligibility criteria. The round allocates seats from the 85 percent Himachal Pradesh state quota reserved for domicile candidates.
Candidates fall into two categories: those applying for the first time (fresh entrants) and those who participated in earlier rounds but did not receive an allotment. If you already secured a seat in Round 1 or Round 2 and joined a college, you must formally resign from that seat before applying in Round 3. This ensures fair allocation and prevents duplicate admissions.
Eligibility requirements and domicile status for state quota seats
To be eligible for Round 3, you must possess a NEET UG 2026 result and satisfy Himachal Pradesh bona fide or domicile requirements. The state quota seats are reserved exclusively for candidates who meet the domicile criteria set by the Himachal Pradesh government. This is a strict requirement and cannot be waived.
Domicile status is typically verified through a certificate issued by the district administration or revenue department of Himachal Pradesh. If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact the AMRU counselling cell or visit the official portal for clarification before registration. Submitting false domicile documentation can lead to cancellation of your admission.
Step-by-step registration process on amruhp.ac.in
Registration for Round 3 is entirely online and must be completed within the official window. Begin by visiting the AMRU official portal at amruhp.ac.in and locating the counselling notifications section on the homepage.

How seat allotment works and what happens after choice filling
After the choice filling window closes, AMRU will prepare the seat allotment list using a merit-based algorithm. Your NEET UG 2026 score and the preferences you locked will determine your allotment. The allotment result will be declared on the official portal within the Round 3 schedule—check the notice for the exact date.
Once the result is published, download your allotment letter from the portal if you have been allotted a seat. The letter will specify the college, course, and seat category assigned to you. You must then report to the allotted college within the reporting window specified in the notice. Failure to report on time will result in cancellation of your seat, and it will not be available to you in subsequent rounds.

Reporting to your allotted college and document verification
After receiving your allotment letter, you must report to the allotted college within the official reporting dates. Bring all original documents along with the allotment letter. The college will conduct document verification to confirm that your qualifications, domicile status, category, and other details match your application.
During verification, the college will cross-check your original documents against the digital copies you uploaded. Any discrepancy or missing document can delay your admission or, in serious cases, lead to cancellation. Once verification is complete and you are admitted, you will be issued a formal admission letter and can proceed with fee payment and course registration.
Why Round 3 is critical and what comes after
Round 3 is the final merit-based counselling round before the stray vacancy round. This means it is your last structured opportunity to secure a BAMS or BHMS seat in Himachal Pradesh for the 2026 academic session through the regular counselling process. Any seats that remain unallotted after Round 3 will move to the stray vacancy round, which operates on a first-come, first-served basis rather than merit order.
If you do not secure a seat in Round 3, you will have the option to participate in the stray vacancy round. However, competition in that round is typically intense, and seats fill quickly. Therefore, it is crucial to participate actively in Round 3, fill your preferences carefully, and report on time if allotted. Watch the AMRU portal for the stray vacancy round notice, which will be published after Round 3 concludes.

What is the seat quota for Round 3 counselling?
