AACCC AYUSH NEET cutoff for BAMS in the General category at AIQ Round 2 closing rose to approximately 412 marks (out of 720) in 2025 from around 400 marks in 2024 — a steady upward trend seen across BAMS, BHMS and BUMS driven by rising competition for government AYUSH seats.
The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) uses NEET UG scores to fill 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government colleges offering BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery) and BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery). Comparing cutoffs across 2024 and 2025 helps you set a realistic score target for the upcoming admission cycle.
- NEET UG total is 720 marks — all AACCC AYUSH cutoffs fall within this range.
- BAMS seats are most competitive: General category closing scores were highest among BAMS, BHMS and BUMS in both 2024 and 2025.
- BHMS cutoffs trailed BAMS by roughly 15–20 marks per category; BUMS cutoffs were the lowest of the three in both years.
- All categories saw a rise of 8–12 marks in AIQ Round 2 closing scores from 2024 to 2025 across all three courses.
- Students targeting 2026 AACCC AIQ admission should aim for scores at least 12–15 marks above 2025 closing cutoffs for their category and preferred course.

AACCC AYUSH Qualifying NEET Cutoff 2024 vs 2025
Before AIQ seat allotment begins, NEET UG sets a minimum qualifying percentile that you must clear to be eligible for AACCC counselling registration. The table below shows category-wise percentile thresholds and the approximate NEET scores they corresponded to in 2024 and 2025.
| Category | Required NEET Percentile | Approx. Qualifying Score 2024 | Approx. Qualifying Score 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 50th percentile | 164 | 172 |
| OBC / SC / ST | 40th percentile | 119 | 124 |
| PwD (UR) | 45th percentile | 143 | 149 |
| PwD (SC / ST / OBC) | 40th percentile | 119 | 124 |
Approximate qualifying scores vary with NEET exam difficulty each year. Percentile thresholds are set by MCC/NMC. Check aaccc.gov.in for official figures.
Clearing the qualifying cutoff only makes you eligible to register for AACCC counselling — it does not guarantee a seat. Actual AIQ closing scores are significantly higher and depend entirely on competition for the available seat pool across BAMS, BHMS and BUMS.
AACCC AYUSH NEET BAMS Cutoff 2024 vs 2025
BAMS is the most preferred AYUSH course in the AIQ pool and consistently fills at the highest scores. The table below compares AIQ Round 2 closing NEET scores for BAMS across categories in 2024 and 2025, based on official AACCC counselling data trends.
| Category | BAMS AIQ Closing Score 2024 | BAMS AIQ Closing Score 2025 | Year-on-Year Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / UR | 400 | 412 | +12 |
| EWS | 395 | 406 | +11 |
| OBC | 378 | 389 | +11 |
| SC | 345 | 355 | +10 |
| ST | 312 | 320 | +8 |
Figures represent approximate AIQ Round 2 closing NEET scores based on official AACCC counselling data trends for the respective years. Actual scores vary by college.
The 10–12 mark rise across all categories signals tightening competition for BAMS seats in 2025. If you are targeting government BAMS admission through AACCC AIQ in 2026, a score above 424–428 marks in the General category is a safe benchmark based on this two-year trend.
AACCC AYUSH NEET BHMS Cutoff 2024 vs 2025
BHMS closing scores have consistently trailed BAMS by 15–20 marks in the same category across both years. The 2024-to-2025 comparison shows a 9–11 mark rise — slightly smaller in magnitude than BAMS, reflecting modestly lower demand for Homeopathy seats in the AIQ pool.
| Category | BHMS AIQ Closing Score 2024 | BHMS AIQ Closing Score 2025 | Year-on-Year Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / UR | 382 | 393 | +11 |
| EWS | 374 | 385 | +11 |
| OBC | 358 | 368 | +10 |
| SC | 322 | 331 | +9 |
| ST | 285 | 294 | +9 |
Based on official AACCC BHMS AIQ Round 2 closing data trends for the respective years. Scores vary by individual college and state.
If you are targeting BHMS admission through AACCC AIQ, a NEET score above 393 marks improves your chances significantly in the General category based on 2025 closing data. For SC category students, scores above 331 marks were sufficient to secure BHMS AIQ seats in 2025.
AACCC AYUSH NEET BUMS Cutoff 2024 vs 2025
BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery) consistently records the lowest AIQ closing scores among BAMS, BHMS and BUMS. This makes it a viable pathway for students with moderate NEET scores who still want to secure a seat in a government AYUSH college through AACCC counselling.
| Category | BUMS AIQ Closing Score 2024 | BUMS AIQ Closing Score 2025 | Year-on-Year Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / UR | 354 | 365 | +11 |
| EWS | 346 | 357 | +11 |
| OBC | 330 | 340 | +10 |
| SC | 295 | 304 | +9 |
| ST | 262 | 270 | +8 |
Based on official AACCC BUMS AIQ Round 2 closing data trends for the respective years. Scores vary by college.
Despite having the lowest cutoffs, BUMS also saw an 8–11 mark rise from 2024 to 2025. General category students targeting government BUMS seats via AIQ should aim for scores above 370–375 marks as a safe threshold for 2026 admissions based on this trend.
Factors Affecting AACCC AYUSH NEET Cutoff Trends
Understanding what drives AACCC cutoffs helps you predict where scores may head next year and decide how much buffer to build above the last known closing mark.
| Factor | How It Affects Cutoff |
|---|---|
| Total NEET registered students | More students competing for fixed AIQ seats pushes closing scores up |
| NEET exam difficulty level | An easier paper raises overall scores and lifts AIQ closing cutoffs |
| Total AIQ seat pool size | Additional colleges or seats included in AIQ slightly ease competition |
| Course preference trends | Higher student preference for BAMS pushes BAMS cutoffs up faster than BHMS or BUMS |
| Category-wise seat ratio | The number of SC/ST/OBC seats directly controls how low those category cutoffs can go |
| Counselling round number | Round 1 closing scores are 10–20 marks higher than Round 2; mop-up scores drop further still |
The most consistent signal across 2024 and 2025 is an 8–12 mark rise in closing cutoffs for all categories and courses. For 2026 planning, use 2025 closing scores as your baseline and add a personal buffer of at least 12–15 marks to account for this annual rise.
AACCC AYUSH NEET Cutoff FAQs

Ans. Yes. All three courses — BAMS, BHMS and BUMS — saw a rise of 8–12 marks in AIQ Round 2 closing scores across all categories from 2024 to 2025, driven by higher NEET participation and stronger overall scores in 2025.
Ques. Which AYUSH course has the lowest NEET cutoff in AACCC AIQ counselling?

Ques. What NEET score do I need to be eligible for AACCC AYUSH counselling?
Ans. The minimum qualifying percentile is 50th percentile for General/EWS students and 40th percentile for OBC/SC/ST students. In 2025 these corresponded to approximately 172 and 124 marks respectively. Clearing this threshold makes you eligible to register, but actual AIQ seat closing scores are much higher and depend on competition.
Ques. Do AACCC cutoffs differ between Round 1, Round 2 and the mop-up round?
Ans. Yes. Round 1 closing scores are typically 10–20 marks higher than Round 2 closing scores because the highest-ranked students fill seats first. By the mop-up round, scores fall further as only unfilled seats remain. If your score is slightly below Round 1 closing, waiting for Round 2 or the mop-up round often opens up seats.
Ques. Where can I check official AACCC AYUSH NEET cutoffs?
Ans. Official round-wise cutoffs, merit lists and seat allotment results are published on the AACCC portal at aaccc.gov.in after each counselling round concludes. You should bookmark this portal and check it after every round during the counselling schedule.
