Maharashtra AYUSH CAP Round 1 Seat Allotment 2026

The Maharashtra State CET Cell has published the CAP Round 1 seat allotment result for AYUSH admissions for the 2026–27 academic session. Candidates who applied through NEET UG 2026 for BAMS, BHMS or BUMS can check their allotted college and, if selected, complete admission formalities within the reporting window.

The first round covers 15% All India Quota seats in private, unaided and minority colleges. The selection list was released on September 27, 2026, and candidates with an allotment must report from September 28 through October 1, before 5:30 PM. Allotment is based on NEET UG merit, college preferences, reservation rules and seat availability; candidates must complete document verification and pay the college’s required admission fee to secure admission.

Important Dates

The reporting deadline applies even if the final day falls on a holiday. Candidates should therefore plan to complete the process well before the cutoff.

Vacancy Details

The course-wise figures published for Round 1 cover 166 colleges, with 11,272 seats shown as available, 10,519 allotted and 753 remaining vacant. BAMS has the largest number of allotments, while four BUMS seats remain after the first round.

The notice also describes the 98-page provisional selection-list PDF as containing 3,714 candidates: 1,714 are reported as having received a college allotment and 2,000 as “Choice Not Available.” These figures differ from the course-wise allotment totals above, so candidates should refer to the official list and their individual allotment details for their own result.

Among the course-wise allotments, 1,157 BAMS candidates received government-college seats and 6,389 received private-college seats. For BHMS, the corresponding figures are 134 government and 2,593 private allotments. In BUMS, all 102 government seats were filled, along with 144 private-college seats; four seats remained vacant.
