How you get in

Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and a qualifying NEET-UG score. AACCC (Ministry of Ayush) counsels the 15% All India Quota and central, national-institute and deemed-university seats; states fill the rest through their own counselling.

At a glance

  • Practice needs registration with a State Board or Council of Indian Medicine.
  • Roughly four in five permitted Ayurveda colleges are private.
  • An MD or MS (Ayurveda) through AIAPGET is the usual way to specialise.
