Hello,

In Maharashtra, NEET-UG is essential for entry into BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) courses through state and central AYUSH counseling for both government and private institutions. According to the Maharashtra AYUSH counseling guidelines, a valid NEET score is necessary for eligibility; seat allocation occurs through centralized procedures managed by DMER and AACCC.

Nevertheless, certain private homeopathic colleges, particularly those linked to private organizations, can independently fill empty spots based solely on HSC (10+2 PCB) merit, due to court approvals that permit them to circumvent NEET in subsequent rounds. These do not belong to the formal state counseling, and such “vacancy-filling” enrollments might happen outside the standard NEET-based framework.

To summarize, NEET qualification is necessary for standard admission to BHMS in Maharashtra. A few private college seats might be filled later according to state board merit, but such instances are uncommon and not part of the official NEET counseling framework.

Hope this helps. All the best!
