KNRUHS-UG AYUSH CQ – PWD ASSESSMENT NOTIFICATION

KNRUHS UG AYUSH Counselling 2026: CQ, AIQ and MQ Latest Updates

KNRUHS UG AYUSH Counselling 2026: The counselling process has moved forward for both Competent Authority Quota (CQ) and All India Quota (AIQ) admissions. Under CQ, KNRUHS has issued the latest update for assessment of applicants under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category for UG AYUSH admissions. The CQ process covers BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and BNYS candidates.

Meanwhile, under AIQ, KNRUHS has released the college-wise allotment list for the first phase of BHMS counselling. Candidates who participated in the BHMS AIQ Phase-I counselling can now check their allotted college and proceed with the admission/joining process according to the instructions applicable to the allotment.

For CQ candidates, the registration stage has already been completed, and the latest movement is currently related to PwD assessment. Candidates who successfully registered should wait for the next counselling-stage update from KNRUHS regarding the merit/eligibility process, web options and seat allotment.

For BHMS AIQ candidates, the process has already reached the Phase-I seat-allotment stage, so candidates who have received an allotment should check the allotment details and complete the required admission formalities within the prescribed joining period.

There is currently no fresh UG AYUSH Management Quota (MQ) counselling update listed by KNRUHS for 2026-27. Candidates should not confuse UG AYUSH MQ with the separate MBBS/BDS or MDS Management Quota notifications listed by the university.

Candidates are advised to keep checking the latest KNRUHS UG AYUSH updates for the next CQ counselling stage, further AIQ rounds and any fresh MQ notification.

KNRUHS UG AYUSH CQ 2026: PwD Assessment Notification

Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) has released a notification for assessment of applicants under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD/PwBD) category for UG AYUSH admissions under Competent Authority Quota (CQ) for the academic year 2026-27. The notification applies to candidates seeking admission through the PwBD category under the UG AYUSH counselling process.

The notification follows the applicable NCISM guidelines for assessment of Persons with Benchmark Disabilities for admission to undergraduate AYUSH courses. Candidates claiming a PwBD seat are required to undergo the prescribed disability assessment process before their eligibility under the PwBD category can be considered.

Who Is This PwD Assessment For?

The assessment is for eligible NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates applying for UG AYUSH admission under the PwBD category through the applicable state/CQ counselling process.

The relevant UG AYUSH courses include:

BAMS
BHMS
BUMS
BNYS

Candidates claiming PwBD reservation cannot simply rely on the disability details entered during counselling. They have to satisfy the prescribed disability certification and assessment requirements.

Documents Required for PwBD Assessment

Candidates should keep the required documents ready for the assessment process, including:

NEET UG 2026 result/score details
Valid UDID card
Prescribed self-certified affidavit/forms
Other disability-related documents, wherever applicable

The disability assessment is carried out through the designated medical/State Disability Board process as applicable to the candidate and counselling route. The assessment and certification must comply with the prescribed AYUSH disability guidelines.

What PwBD Candidates Need to Do Now

Candidates applying under the PwBD category should complete the required assessment/certification process and keep the supporting documents ready.

This is important because the PwBD status has to be established through the prescribed assessment before the candidate can be considered against the relevant PwBD seat.

Candidates should also continue to follow the subsequent merit list, web-options and seat-allotment updates issued by KNRUHS.

BHMS AIQ 2026: First-Phase College-Wise Seat Allotment Released

Separately, KNRUHS has released the college-wise allotment list for the first phase of BHMS admissions under All India Quota (AIQ) for the academic year 2026-27. The university’s latest notification list shows the BHMS AIQ Phase-I college-wise allotment as a current UG AYUSH admission update.

This means the BHMS AIQ counselling has moved beyond registration, merit-list preparation and web-options, and candidates who participated in Phase-I can now check the college-wise seat allotment.

BHMS AIQ Phase-I Seat Allotment: What Candidates Need to Check

Candidates who participated in the BHMS AIQ first phase should check the allotment list carefully for:

Candidate name
Allotted BHMS college
Allotted seat/category
Other details mentioned against the candidate in the college-wise allotment list

Candidates who have been allotted a seat should proceed with the admission/joining formalities according to the instructions applicable to the allotment.

The important point for candidates is that the process is no longer at the web-options stage for Phase-I. The college-wise allotment has now been released.

What Happens After BHMS AIQ Phase-I Allotment?

Candidates who receive a BHMS seat should now complete the required admission and joining process within the prescribed period.

They should keep their original certificates and other admission documents ready and follow the instructions accompanying the allotment.

Candidates who are not allotted a seat should continue checking KNRUHS updates for the next applicable counselling phase, if any.

Candidates should also carefully check the rules applicable to their allotment before deciding whether to participate in any further counselling.

What About BAMS, BUMS and BNYS AIQ?

The current KNRUHS AIQ notifications listed for the 2026-27 UG AYUSH process are specifically for BHMS. Therefore, candidates should not treat the BHMS AIQ Phase-I allotment as a common AIQ allotment for BAMS, BUMS and BNYS.

What About UG AYUSH CQ Candidates?

For BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and BNYS under CQ, the registration stage has already moved forward and the latest CQ-specific development is the PwD assessment process.

Candidates who completed CQ registration should now watch for the next applicable counselling-stage updates, particularly the merit/eligibility processing, seat matrix, web options and subsequent seat allotment.

What About UG AYUSH Management Quota?

There is currently no fresh 2026-27 UG AYUSH Management Quota (MQ) seat-allotment notification listed by KNRUHS. The current notification list contains separate MQ updates for other courses such as MDS, but those should not be treated as UG AYUSH MQ updates.

KNRUHS UG AYUSH Counselling 2026

Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS) conducts the admission process for undergraduate AYUSH courses in Telangana.

The UG AYUSH counselling process is mainly relevant for candidates seeking admission to:

BAMS – Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
BHMS – Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery
BUMS – Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery
BNYS – Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences

Candidates seeking admission must satisfy the eligibility conditions, qualify NEET UG, complete the applicable registration process and participate in counselling according to the quota under which they are seeking admission.

Courses Offered Through KNRUHS UG AYUSH Counselling

Course	Full Form
BAMS	Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery
BHMS	Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery
BUMS	Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery
BNYS	Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences

The availability of a particular course depends on the participating colleges, approved intake and seat matrix released for the counselling process.

KNRUHS UG AYUSH Counselling Quotas

Students should understand the quota before beginning the counselling process because registration, eligibility, seat availability and counselling procedure can differ between quotas.

Competent Authority Quota (CQ)

The Competent Authority Quota is the Telangana state counselling route for eligible candidates seeking admission to the applicable UG AYUSH courses.

The current UG AYUSH CQ process covers BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and BNYS.

Candidates participating through CQ need to complete the registration and verification requirements prescribed by KNRUHS and subsequently participate in the counselling stages announced by the university.

All India Quota (AIQ)

The All India Quota counselling is separate from the Telangana Competent Authority Quota process.

For the current UG AYUSH admission cycle, KNRUHS has issued a separate AIQ admission process for BHMS. The AIQ process includes registration, preparation of the merit list, web-option entry and seat allotment.

Candidates should therefore check the specific course and quota mentioned in every counselling notification instead of assuming that the same process applies to every AYUSH course.

Management Quota (MQ)

Management Quota is a separate admission category from CQ and AIQ.

Candidates should not confuse UG AYUSH Management Quota with the Management Quota counselling conducted by KNRUHS for courses such as MBBS, BDS or MDS.

The availability of UG AYUSH MQ admissions, participating colleges and the procedure should be considered only when KNRUHS publishes a specific UG AYUSH MQ notification.

Who Can Apply for KNRUHS UG AYUSH Counselling?

Candidates must satisfy the eligibility requirements prescribed for the relevant UG AYUSH course and counselling quota.

Generally, candidates must:

Have completed the required 10+2/intermediate or equivalent examination.

Have qualified NEET UG.
Satisfy the required age criteria.
Meet the applicable national and KNRUHS eligibility requirements.
Satisfy the relevant local candidature, reservation or category requirements, wherever applicable.
Produce the required certificates and documents during verification/admission.

Eligibility can differ depending on the course, quota and category, so candidates should always check the applicable eligibility conditions for their admission route.

NEET UG Requirement for AYUSH Admission

Admission to undergraduate AYUSH courses is linked to NEET UG qualification.

Candidates should have a valid NEET UG score/rank and satisfy the applicable eligibility requirements for AYUSH admission.

A candidate’s NEET qualification alone does not guarantee admission. The candidate must also complete the relevant counselling process and secure a seat through the applicable quota.

The general registration process includes:

The seat matrix helps candidates understand the number of seats available under different:

Courses

Categories
Quotas

The seat matrix can change between counselling rounds because of vacancies, non-reporting candidates, seat conversions or other counselling-related changes.

Therefore, candidates should check the seat matrix applicable to the particular counselling round before entering choices.

KNRUHS UG AYUSH Web Options

Candidates should:

Check the participating colleges.
Check the available seats.
Decide their preferred course.
Arrange colleges according to preference.
Enter sufficient choices.

Take a screenshot/printout of the submitted options.

The exact procedure may vary slightly depending on the counselling round.

Candidates should carefully check whether KNRUHS allows editing or reordering of choices before the web-options window closes.

Seat allotment is based on the applicable counselling rules, including factors such as:

NEET UG merit/rank
Candidate eligibility

Completing admission formalities.

Joining the allotted seat
Withdrawal
Free exit
Participation in the next round
Upgradation
Fresh web options
Seat surrender

Candidates should not assume that the rules are the same for every round.

The latest allotment notification will determine what an allotted candidate can do after receiving a seat.

Further counselling may involve:

Fresh vacancies
Fresh web options

The fee structure can vary by:

Course
