Students who score 300 marks in NEET 2026 clear the AYUSH eligibility cutoff by a wide margin and have solid admission chances in BAMS, BHMS and BUMS courses — particularly at private AYUSH colleges and several government AYUSH institutions across India.
NEET 2026 is the single eligibility and ranking test for admission to AYUSH undergraduate courses — BAMS (Ayurveda), BHMS (Homoeopathy) and BUMS (Unani) — at centrally approved colleges. The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) conducts the online centralised counselling for these seats. With 300 marks out of 720, your expected General category rank is approximately 3,80,000 to 4,60,000, based on 2025 NEET UG trends. This rank opens a range of AYUSH college options across both government and private sectors.
- NEET UG total marks = 720; a score of 300 equals approximately 41.7% of the total.
- Expected General category rank with 300 marks: approximately 3,80,000 to 4,60,000 (based on 2025 NEET UG trends).
- AYUSH NEET 2026 eligibility cutoff for General category: 50th percentile (approximately 138 marks out of 720) — 300 marks clears this comfortably.
- Private AYUSH college seats in BAMS, BHMS and BUMS are accessible at this score range; government seats depend on your home state and the state counselling quota.
- Central counselling is conducted by AACCC at aaccc.gov.in; state AYUSH counselling runs separately.

Expected NEET 2026 Rank for 300 Marks
Your NEET rank depends on the total number of students who appear and the score distribution across all test-takers. Based on 2025 NEET UG data (approximately 23 lakh students appeared), students scoring around 300 marks fell in the rank bands shown below. All figures are expected estimates for 2026 based on 2025 trends.
| Score Range | Expected General Rank | Expected OBC Rank | Expected SC/ST Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| 305 – 315 | 3,10,000 – 3,80,000 | 2,50,000 – 3,10,000 | 1,90,000 – 2,50,000 |
| 295 – 305 (300 marks) | 3,80,000 – 4,60,000 | 3,10,000 – 3,80,000 | 2,50,000 – 3,10,000 |
| 285 – 295 | 4,60,000 – 5,40,000 | 3,80,000 – 4,50,000 | 3,10,000 – 3,80,000 |
OBC and SC/ST students receive separate category-wise rank lists, which reflect better (lower-numbered) ranks for the same score. Actual NEET 2026 ranks will be released with the official result on the NTA portal.
AYUSH NEET 2026 Eligibility Cutoff by Category
To participate in AACCC AYUSH counselling 2026, you must meet the minimum NEET percentile prescribed by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) for BAMS and BUMS, and the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) for BHMS. With 300 marks in NEET 2026, you clear the eligibility cutoff across all categories.
| Category | Minimum Percentile Required | Approximate Minimum Marks (out of 720) | Status with 300 Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 50th percentile | ~138 marks | Eligible |
| OBC / SC / ST | 40th percentile | ~108 marks | Eligible |
| UR – PwD | 45th percentile | ~123 marks | Eligible |
| OBC / SC / ST – PwD | 40th percentile | ~108 marks | Eligible |
Meeting the eligibility cutoff qualifies you to register for AACCC counselling. It does not guarantee a seat — actual allotment depends on your rank, category and the order of your choices during counselling rounds.
BAMS, BHMS and BUMS Admission Chances at 300 Marks
At an expected General rank of 3,80,000 to 4,60,000, here is how admission chances look for the three main AYUSH undergraduate courses under AACCC counselling 2026, based on 2025 closing rank trends.
| Course | Full Form | Government College Chances | Private College Chances |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAMS | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery | Moderate — lower-tier and state-quota seats are accessible; top government BAMS colleges are unlikely at this rank | High |
| BHMS | Bachelor of Homoeopathic Medicine and Surgery | Good — several government BHMS colleges have closing ranks beyond 4,00,000 (based on 2025 trends) | Very High |
| BUMS | Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery | Good — competition is lower and closing ranks often extend beyond 4,50,000 at government BUMS colleges | Very High |
BAMS is the most competitive AYUSH course with the highest number of seats and the highest demand. Students scoring 300 marks who want a government seat should seriously consider BHMS and BUMS, where competition at this rank band is comparatively lower and government college access is more realistic.
Government vs Private AYUSH College Closing Ranks
The table below shows expected closing rank ranges for government and private AYUSH colleges under AACCC 2026 counselling, based on 2025 data. Actual 2026 cutoffs will be published round-by-round on the AACCC official portal.
| Course | College Type | Expected Closing Rank Range — General (2026) | Accessible with 300 Marks Rank? |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAMS | Top Government | Up to 1,50,000 | No |
| BAMS | Mid-tier Government | 1,50,000 – 3,50,000 | Unlikely — state quota may help |
| BAMS | Lower-tier / State Government | 3,50,000 – 5,50,000 | Yes |
| BAMS | Private | Up to 7,00,000+ | Yes |
| BHMS | Government | Up to 4,50,000 | Yes — many colleges |
| BHMS | Private | Up to 7,00,000+ | Yes |
| BUMS | Government | Up to 5,00,000 | Yes |
| BUMS | Private | Up to 7,00,000+ | Yes |
All closing rank data is expected and based on 2025 AACCC counselling trends. State counselling for AYUSH seats outside the central pool is conducted separately — home-state students often secure better-ranked government seats through the state quota.
How AACCC AYUSH Counselling 2026 Works
AACCC conducts online centralised counselling for AYUSH undergraduate courses at centrally approved colleges under the Ministry of Ayush. The process runs in multiple rounds after the NEET 2026 result is declared. Students must register on the official portal at aaccc.gov.in.
- Registration: Create an account on aaccc.gov.in using your NEET 2026 roll number, rank and personal details.
- Fee payment: Pay the non-refundable registration fee online to confirm your participation.
- Choice filling and locking: Select and lock your preferred colleges and courses (BAMS, BHMS or BUMS) in order of preference before the deadline.
- Seat allotment: AACCC publishes allotment results round by round based on rank, category and locked choices.
- Reporting to college: Students allotted a seat must report in person, pay the admission fee and submit required documents within the given deadline to confirm the seat.
Students who do not receive a seat through central counselling should also register for state AYUSH counselling, which runs separately for home-state seats. Participating in both processes maximises your overall chances of securing a BAMS, BHMS or BUMS seat with 300 marks in NEET 2026.
