In this article Careers360 gives in depth information on how many seats are available, and how they are allotted to general and reserved category students.

    Various national, government institutes and central universities across India admit students to the AYUSH courses which offer specialisation in Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy. Like any other college in India, there is reservation for disabled candidates or backward class candidates in these institutes as well.

    The National Testing Agency conducts the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET exam) to offer admission to various medical streams including AYUSH courses. Students need to secure the minimum cut off and qualify for the counselling round to get admitted into the AYUSH colleges.
