The provisional merit list contains the names and ranks of eligible candidates who will be considered for the next stages of the first round of centralized counselling. A separate list of candidates whose applications were rejected has also been published.

A total of 1,631 candidates have been included in the provisional combined merit list, while 28 applications have been rejected for various reasons, including issues related to category certificates, document uploads and academic certificates.

The release of the merit list is particularly important because candidates can now verify their merit rank, Uttarakhand rank, NEET UG marks, percentile, category and other reservation-related details before the Round 1 seat allotment process moves ahead.

Uttarakhand AYUSH Round 1 Merit List 2026: Key Highlights

What Is the Uttarakhand AYUSH Merit List 2026?

The Uttarakhand AYUSH merit list is prepared for candidates seeking admission to undergraduate AYUSH programmes through the state's centralized counselling process.

The UAUC-UG 2026-27 counselling is based on the NEET UG 2026 examination. Candidates who qualify for NEET and meet the applicable admission and counselling requirements are considered for the state counselling process.

The provisional combined merit list establishes the relative position of candidates for the counselling process. It contains information such as the candidate's merit-list All India Rank, Uttarakhand rank wherever applicable, NEET marks, percentile and NEET AIR.

The list also records several eligibility and reservation-related details, including domicile/bonafide Uttarakhand status, gender, women reservation status, state category, All India category and applicable special categories.

1,631 Candidates Included in Round 1 Provisional Merit List

The newly released provisional merit list includes 1,631 candidates.

Of these, 568 candidates have been assigned an Uttarakhand rank. Candidates without a state rank have their Uttarakhand rank shown as not applicable in the merit-list data.

The NEET UG marks of candidates included in the list range from 542 marks at the top end to 177 marks at the lower end.

Candidates should understand that inclusion in the provisional merit list does not by itself guarantee admission or a particular college. Final admission will depend on factors such as merit position, category, seat availability, choices filled by candidates, applicable reservation rules and the subsequent allotment process.

Who Is the Topper of Uttarakhand AYUSH Round 1 Merit List?

Chandransh Devlal has secured the first position in the provisional combined merit list, with 542 marks in NEET UG 2026 and a NEET All India Rank of 43,629.

The next candidates in the Uttarakhand state ranking include:

At the lower end of the merit list, Yashvardhan Singh has been listed with 177 NEET marks, approximately 40.25 percentile and a NEET AIR of 11,93,807.

How Was the Uttarakhand AYUSH Merit List Prepared?

The provisional merit list has been prepared using NEET UG 2026 data received from the competent authority along with additional information submitted by candidates during the online UAUC UG 2026-27 registration process.

The merit-list data includes:

• Merit-list All India Rank

• Uttarakhand rank

• NEET UG marks

• NEET percentile

• NEET All India Rank

• Class 10 details

• Class 12 details

• Uttarakhand schooling information

• Gender

• Uttarakhand bonafide status

• Women reservation status

• Uttarakhand category

• All India category

• Freedom Fighter-related category

• Orphan category

• PwBD/PH category

• WKM category

• Ex-Servicemen-dependent category

Candidates should carefully check all such details because errors in category or eligibility information can affect the counselling and admission process.

28 Applications Rejected in Round 1

Along with the provisional merit list, the counselling authority has also released a separate list of 28 rejected candidates.

The rejection reasons primarily relate to documentation and eligibility-related issues.

The reported reasons include:

Category Certificate Problems

A total of 12 applications were rejected due to issues concerning category certificates. These included invalid, expired or missing OBC certificates and a missing SC certificate.

Candidates applying under reserved categories should therefore ensure that their certificates are valid for the relevant admission year and meet the prescribed requirements.

Form Validation Issues

Another six candidates were affected because validation of their application forms had been disabled, resulting in problems with document uploading and verification.

This highlights the importance of completing the online application process carefully and checking that uploaded documents are successfully validated.

Academic Document Issues

Eight applications were rejected because of problems involving Class 10 or Class 12 documents.

The issues included missing certificates, blurred or unreadable documents, an invalid Class 12 certificate and a Class 12 certificate that did not establish the required PCB subjects.

Incorrect Documents

Two applications were rejected because documents belonging to another person had reportedly been uploaded.

Candidates must therefore verify every uploaded document before submitting their applications.

Important Certificate Verification Rules

The merit-list notification also contains important instructions regarding certificate verification.

Candidates belonging to OBC, SC, ST and EWS categories under the All India Quota, particularly those with a NEET percentile below 50, may be required to produce their original and valid category certificates during admission.

For OBC candidates, the applicable OBC-NCL certificate must be produced where required.

Admission remains conditional until the relevant certificates are verified and accepted.

Similarly, State Quota candidates belonging to all categories and sub-categories are required to produce their original and valid category certificates at the time of admission.

Therefore, candidates should not assume that merely entering a category in the online form will be sufficient. The relevant original documentation must be available during verification.

Uttarakhand AYUSH Counselling 2026 Round 1 Schedule

The first round of centralized counselling began with online registration, fee payment and choice filling.

The currently published schedule provides the following important dates:

The Round 1 result is scheduled to follow the counselling board meeting on October 8, with candidates allotted seats required to complete joining formalities during the specified period.

What Happens After the Provisional Merit List?

The release of the merit list is not the final stage of admission.

Candidates included in the Round 1 merit list should now monitor the next counselling updates closely. The next major stage is the Round 1 seat allotment/counselling result.

Candidates will be considered for available seats based on their merit position, category, reservation eligibility, choices and seat availability.

Those who receive a seat must follow the prescribed admission procedure and report to the allotted institution within the specified period.

Candidates should keep all original documents ready before the allotment result is announced.

How to Check the Uttarakhand AYUSH Round 1 Merit List 2026?

Candidates can check the provisional merit list by following these steps:

1.    Visit the official Uttarakhand Ayurved University website.

2.    Open the Admissions/UG Counselling section.

3.    Locate the notification for UAUC-UG 2026-27 Round 1 Provisional Combined Merit List.

4.    Click on the merit-list PDF.

5.    Download the document.

6.    Search for your name or NEET rank in the PDF.

7.    Check your Uttarakhand rank, category, NEET marks and other details.

8.    Also check the separate rejected-candidates list if your name is not present in the merit list.

9.    Save a copy of the merit list for future reference.

Candidates should carefully compare the details shown in the merit list with the information submitted during registration.

What If a Candidate's Name Is Missing?

If a candidate registered for the counselling process but cannot find their name in the provisional merit list, they should first check the separate rejected-candidates list.

The absence of a candidate from the merit list can result from several factors, including application rejection, document problems, eligibility issues or incomplete registration.

Candidates whose names appear in the rejected list should carefully read the reason given against their application and follow any instructions subsequently issued by the counselling authority.

They should not assume that a missing name is simply a technical error without first checking the published rejection list and counselling notifications.

Uttarakhand AYUSH Counselling 2026: Courses and Seats

The centralized counselling process covers undergraduate AYUSH admissions, including programmes such as:

• BAMS – Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery

• BHMS – Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery

• BUMS – Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery

The available institutions and courses depend on the approved seat matrix for the particular counselling session.

For the 2026-27 admission cycle, the approved BAMS seat matrix includes 16 participating institutions with a combined 1,002 BAMS seats. The seat distribution is further divided according to applicable categories and sub-quotas.

The broader AYUSH admission process also operates alongside the All India Quota counselling mechanism for eligible NEET UG candidates.

State Quota and All India Quota in AYUSH Admissions

Candidates should distinguish between state-level centralized counselling and the All India Quota counselling process.

For AYUSH undergraduate admissions, the All India Quota process covers eligible seats through the centralized national counselling mechanism, while state counselling authorities conduct admissions against applicable state/UT quota seats.

The current national AYUSH counselling process is also progressing through its second round, with the Round 2 result already released and reporting scheduled in October.

Candidates participating in both systems should carefully follow the applicable rules relating to seat acceptance, reporting, withdrawal and further participation.

Documents Candidates Should Keep Ready

Candidates shortlisted for further counselling and admission should keep their original documents ready for verification.

Important documents may include:

• NEET UG 2026 scorecard

• NEET UG 2026 admit card

• Class 10 certificate

• Class 12 certificate and marksheet

• Valid photo identity proof

• Domicile/bonafide Uttarakhand certificate, where applicable

• Category certificate

• OBC-NCL certificate, wherever applicable

• EWS certificate, where applicable

• PwBD certificate, where applicable

• Other applicable reservation certificates

• Passport-size photographs

• Counselling registration details

• Seat allotment letter

• Fee-payment receipt

• Other documents specified in the counselling instructions

Candidates should ensure that certificates are original, valid, legible and applicable to the 2026-27 admission cycle.
