Hi had done PCM earlier and then gave Additional Biology from NIOS board. I have already qualified NEET. I have 50% in PCB Am I eligible to take admissions in the BAMS course from Maharashtra Ayush Counselling or AACCC counseling?

Hey Nilesh :)

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you're eligible to take admission in the BAMS course through both Maharashtra AYUSH counselling and AACCC counselling .Since you have qualified NEET and passed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, Biology(even If bio was through NIOS),you meet the eligibility criteria.

As per the updated NCISM guidelines,the minimum 50% in PCB has been removed from 2025 onwards, just passing in these subjects is enough.For Maharashtra Counselling you also need to be a Maharashtra domicile.For AACCC,NEET qualification and 12th pass with required subjects is enough.

Fill your choices wisely to improve your chances of  getting a good BAMS seat.

Hello Nilesh!

Based on current AYUSH counselling norms, your eligibility seems strong for admission to BAMS. As You've mentioned scoring 50% in PCB and qualifying NEET, which meets the eligibility bar.

According to  AACCC and State-level counselling like Maharashtra AYUSH, students who completed Biology as an additional subject from NIOS are usually considered eligible as long as the board is recognized and NEET is cleared.

Still, it's wise to check with individual colleges or the Maharashtra CET Cell for any specific document-related queries. Keep your NIOS marksheet, NEET scorecard, and eligibility certificates ready at the time of counselling.

So yes, you’re eligible to participate in both All India and State-level counselling for AYUSH courses including BAMS. Focus now on preparing the necessary documents and understanding the seat matrix and counselling timelines.
