BAMS accounts for the majority of vacancies, with 121 seats across four Ayurveda colleges. BHMS accounts for the remaining 44 seats at the participating Homoeopathy college in Solan.

Candidates should select preferences based on their course interests, eligibility and college priorities rather than vacancy numbers alone.

The published seat vacancy list also provides a category-wise breakdown of seats under the Himachal Pradesh quota and management quota. Candidates must check the category applicable to them and ensure that they possess the required supporting documents.
