The table shows that 11,533 seats were allotted through the state quota list and 1,906 through the 15% AIQ list. The combined allotment count is 13,439.
The number of candidates appearing in a selection list is not the same as the number receiving a seat. Some candidates may be listed without an allotment because none of their submitted preferences could be matched to an available seat under the applicable counselling rules.
What Does “Choice Not Available” Mean?
Candidates whose records display “Choice Not Available” have not received a seat against the choices they submitted in that round. Their names may still appear in the selection document, but no college is shown as allotted to them.
Such candidates should check their individual counselling status and read the official instructions to understand whether they can participate in subsequent rounds. Eligibility for later rounds depends on the applicable counselling rules and the candidate’s admission status.
Candidates should not assume that an unallotted result automatically guarantees participation in every subsequent round. They must follow the registration, eligibility and preference-submission requirements specified by the CET Cell.
Colleges With the Highest Allotments in the State Quota List
Several government Ayurveda colleges and other participating institutions recorded comparatively high numbers of allotments in the state quota selection list.

These figures indicate the distribution of allotments in the published state quota list. They should not be interpreted as the complete sanctioned intake of the respective institutions or as a ranking of college quality.
Candidates should evaluate colleges using relevant factors such as course availability, recognition, infrastructure, faculty, fees, location and the applicable admission conditions.

The published schedule specifies physical reporting at the allotted college with original documents and the required fees. Candidates should not wait until the final hours to complete these formalities, as document verification and payment may require additional time.

Candidates must physically report to the college assigned to them within the prescribed deadline. Failure to complete the admission process within the stipulated period may result in cancellation of the selection.
2. Carry all original documents
Candidates should bring the original certificates and supporting documents required for verification, along with any copies specified in the official instructions.
3. Pay the required admission fees
The applicable fees must be paid according to the instructions issued by the admission authority and the allotted institution. Candidates should retain receipts and other proof of payment.
4. Complete the Status Retention Form, where applicable
Candidates allotted through the state quota list who wish to retain their seat must complete the Status Retention Form at the allotted college by the specified deadline. Candidates should read the official instructions carefully before making a decision about their allotment.
5. Understand the consequences of non-reporting
The selection may be cancelled if a candidate does not complete the required admission formalities within the deadline. Candidates should review the rules applicable to their seat and counselling category before deciding not to join.
Documents Required for Maharashtra AYUSH Admission 2026
Candidates should prepare the documents specified in the official NEET UG 2026 information brochure and the instructions applicable to their allotted college. Depending on their eligibility and category, the documents may include:
- NEET UG 2026 scorecard and rank details
- CET Cell application and registration details
- Round 2 selection or allotment document
- Class 10 certificate or proof of date of birth
- Class 12 marksheet and qualifying examination certificate
- School leaving or transfer certificate, where required

This is a general checklist, not an exhaustive list for every candidate. The precise requirements depend on the candidate’s category, eligibility and the instructions applicable to the allotted seat.
Is the Maharashtra AYUSH Round 2 Selection List Final?
Candidates should treat the published selection list as provisional and follow the official instructions regarding verification and admission. The admission authority and the allotted institution will verify the candidate’s eligibility and documents under the applicable rules.
The allotment is subject to the relevant approvals and eligibility conditions. The published notice also specifies that admission to Shivganga Ayurved College, Miraj (institution code 3156) is stayed in accordance with a Supreme Court order. Candidates concerned about this institution should carefully review the official notice and any subsequent directions before taking admission-related decisions.
An allotment entry should therefore not be treated as an unconditional guarantee of admission. Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements and complete all prescribed formalities.
What Should Candidates Do If They Did Not Get a Seat?
Candidates who did not receive a seat in Round 2 should first check their status in the selection list and confirm whether their record is marked “Choice Not Available” or shows another outcome.
They should then:
- Review the official counselling schedule for the next round.
- Check whether they remain eligible to participate.
- Follow the prescribed registration and choice-filling process, where applicable.
- Review the updated seat matrix before selecting preferences.
- Keep all eligibility documents ready.
- Monitor the official portal for revised schedules and additional notices.
Candidates should not assume that a future allotment is guaranteed. Seat availability depends on vacancies, the candidate’s rank, submitted preferences, category, eligibility and the applicable counselling rules.
