Maharashtra AYUSH Counselling 2026: Round 1 Seat Allotment

Maharashtra AYUSH, BPharm Counselling 2026 has its first round result out, and the numbers are big. The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has announced round 1 allotment for AYUSH, BPharm and PharmD admissions for the 2026-27 academic year, with 38,658 seats allotted in total. Here's the full breakdown and what you need to do next if you've been allotted a seat.

10,519 students have been offered admission in BAMS, BHMS and BUMS, while 28,139 students have been offered seats in BPharm and PharmD courses. The AYUSH allotment breaks down into 7,546 BAMS, 2,727 BHMS and 246 BUMS seats, as per the CET Cell's press release dated September 28, 2026.
Seats have been allotted across 166 medical colleges offering BAMS, BHMS and BUMS. Against 11,272 available seats, 10,519 students received admission opportunities, which leaves 753 seats vacant heading into round 2.

Here's how the AYUSH allotment splits out by course:

Looking within each course, BAMS allotment includes 1,157 students in government colleges and 6,389 in private colleges. BHMS allotment covers 134 students in government colleges and 2,593 in private colleges. BUMS allotment includes 102 seats in government colleges and 144 in private colleges, leaving four seats still vacant.

Candidates who have been allotted a college in the first round must report to the allotted college between September 28 and October 1, 2026, up to 5.30 pm. Carry your original documents and a fee demand draft to confirm admission.
If it falls on a bank holiday, you can pay through cheque, but the cheque must be replaced with a demand draft on the next working day. Don't let that flexibility become an excuse to delay, missing the reporting window entirely puts your seat at risk.

For BPharm and PharmD, the first CAP allotment was announced for 46,984 seats across 528 pharmacy colleges. Of these, 28,139 students received admission opportunities, and 14,736 of them received their first-choice college.
To put the scale of demand in perspective, 44,329 candidates registered for BPharm and PharmD admissions this year, and 35,988 of them submitted their college preferences within the stipulated period to be considered for the first CAP allotment.
If you've been allotted a BPharm or PharmD seat in round 1, here's your window: report to the allotted college between September 28 and September 30, 2026, and submit your documents along with the applicable fee to confirm admission.
The CET Cell has said the provisional vacant seat list for round 2 will be announced on October 1, 2026, so keep an eye on the portal right after your reporting deadline passes.

Here's a detail that matters a lot if you're among the 14,736 candidates who got their first-choice college: you've been placed under Auto Freeze. That means you're expected to take admission at the allotted college.
If you decline this seat, you won't be eligible to participate in the second, third or fourth rounds. You'd instead have to wait for the subsequent institutional round. So before you consider walking away from a first-choice allotment, weigh that trade-off carefully, since it closes off three full rounds of the regular counselling process.

All allotment details, reporting instructions and vacancy updates for this counselling cycle are published through the official Maharashtra CET Cell portal. This is where you should check your allotment status, download your allotment letter, and track the round 2 vacancy list once it's released on October 1.
Bookmark the portal and check it directly rather than relying on second-hand updates, since reporting deadlines here are strict and don't leave much room for confusion.

With 753 AYUSH seats and a substantial share of the 46,984 pharmacy seats still open after round 1, there's real opportunity ahead if you haven't been allotted a seat yet.
The round 2 vacancy list due on October 1 will give you a clearer picture of exactly what's available, so use the days before that to research colleges and refine your preferences rather than waiting passively for the list to drop.
