The Directorate of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH), Chhattisgarh, has commenced registration for its stray vacancy counselling round. This process facilitates admissions for Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS), and Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences (BNYS) programs for the 2025-26 academic session. The final date for online registration is November 13, 2025 . Interested candidates must complete their application before this deadline.
Registration Details
Candidates eligible for the stray vacancy round must register through the official website:cgayush.admissions.nic.in. A non-refundable registration fee of Rs 1,500 is mandatory for all categories of applicants. This fee must be paid during the online registration process.
The Directorate has outlined specific registration guidelines. A single registration is valid for candidates seeking admission to both BAMS and BHMS programs. However, applicants interested in the BNYS program must complete a separate registration. This distinction ensures proper processing for different course structures and requirements.
Previous applicants who registered for earlier counselling rounds but did not secure any seat do not need to register again. These candidates must log in to their existing accounts and submit fresh choices for the stray vacancy round. Conversely, candidates who were allotted and accepted a seat in any preceding round—including the first, second, or mop-up rounds—are not eligible to participate in this stray vacancy phase. The system will automatically exclude such candidates.
Eligibility Criteria
Meeting the specified eligibility criteria is mandatory for all applicants. The Directorate of AYUSH, Chhattisgarh, enforces strict academic and entrance examination requirements for admission to its undergraduate programs. These criteria vary slightly between the medical and naturopathy streams.
