What's Official
The Directorate of AYUSH, Madhya Pradesh, has officially released the Round 3 merit list and the corresponding vacant seat matrix for undergraduate admissions. This phase is critical for candidates aiming for BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, and BNYS programs through their NEET UG 2026 scores.
The merit list acts as a preliminary indicator of your standing in the current round, while the vacant seat document details the current availability across various colleges. It is essential to understand that neither document represents a final seat allotment; they are informational tools to guide your strategic choices for the upcoming selection window.
Candidates should prioritize the upcoming choice filling and locking window, which is scheduled from October 28 to October 30, 2026. Following this, the seat allotment results are slated for release on November 3, 2026. All candidates must refer to the official portal for the latest seat matrix to ensure their choices align with current vacancies.

Section-wise Priority Breakdown
In the context of the MP AYUSH counselling process, your strategy must pivot from general preparation to specific decision-making. Your primary focus should be the cross-referencing of your NEET UG 2026 rank against the newly released merit list to assess your realistic chances of securing a seat in your preferred institutions.
The vacant seat document should be your secondary focus. Analyze which colleges have higher vacancy rates for your specific course (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, or BNYS). Colleges with higher vacancies might offer a strategic advantage if you are flexible with your location or specific college preferences.
While you finalize your list, remember that sharpening your conceptual understanding remains vital for your academic growth; many successful students continue to solidify their foundations by practicing on Aspirant Arcade, where they simulate the pressure of high-stakes environments and refine their analytical approach to complex selection processes.

Cutoff and Rank Expectation
Predicting a final cutoff for Round 3 is complex as it is highly dependent on the category-wise distribution of remaining seats and the choices exercised by the candidate pool.
As an estimated trend, seats in preferred government institutions typically close earlier in the rounds; therefore, candidates should look at the Round 2 closing ranks (available on the official portal) as a reference point. If your rank is significantly outside the range of previous rounds, focus your choice-filling efforts on private institutions with consistent vacancy availability to ensure you secure a seat in this cycle.
Always prioritize the official notification for the most current data regarding closing ranks, as these shift based on the specific demand for AYUSH courses each year.
