How to Apply for Kerala AYUSH Counselling 2025

Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) in Kerala for AYUSH courses (Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Siddha, and Unani) is managed by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala. The CAP aims to streamline the allotment of seats to various AYUSH courses based on candidate preferences submitted online. Here’s a detailed look at the process:

1. Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) & Online Submission of Options

• Single Window System (SWS): The CAP is conducted through the SWS, allowing candidates to submit their preferences for AYUSH courses and colleges. This process is designed to be transparent and user-friendly, ensuring that allotments are based on candidates’ preferences, rank, and eligible reservations.
• Option Registration: Candidates must register their options online through the CEE Kerala website, indicating their preference for specific courses and colleges. They should register only those options they are willing to join if allotted.
• Eligibility: Candidates included in the KEAM 2025 rank lists for AYUSH courses can register their options. They must meet all eligibility criteria specified by CEE, including nativity, academic qualifications, and age.

2. Process for Registering Options

• Accessing the Portal: Candidates can register their options by logging into the KEAM 2025 Candidate Portal on the CEE Kerala website using their application number and password. The process involves selecting preferred courses and colleges and saving these preferences.
• Option Registration Fee: A registration fee, as specified by the CEE, must be paid online or through post offices before registering options. This fee is non-refundable if the candidate fails to join the allotted institution or discontinues after admission.
• Facilitation Centres: Free access to computers and assistance for option registration is provided at Facilitation Centres (FCs) across the state. The list of these centres will be published on the CEE website.
• Revising Options: Candidates can revise their options within the registration period. Options must be saved regularly, and candidates can view, print, and confirm their options before logging off from the portal.

3. Allotment and Admission

• Allotment Memo: After processing the options, the allotment results will be published on the CEE Kerala website. The Allotment Memo will specify the college and course allotted, along with the fee to be paid.
• Fee Payment and Admission: Candidates must remit the prescribed fee at the allotted college and complete the admission process as per the schedule. Failure to do so will result in the loss of the allotment and all existing options in that stream.
• Online Option Confirmation: For subsequent phases of allotment, candidates must confirm their options online. This confirmation is necessary to participate in further allotments.
• Further Allotments and Stray Vacancy Filling: Details regarding additional allotments and stray vacancy filling will be provided by the CEE. These phases may have specific guidelines and constraints based on the central council regulations.

4. Important Guidelines

• Non-Compliance: Candidates who do not adhere to the registration, fee payment, or admission deadlines will forfeit their allotment and all existing options.
• Option Priority: Only the options saved and confirmed before the deadline will be considered. Any changes in option priority or deletions must be completed before the stipulated time.
• Last Rank Details: The last rank details of each allotment phase will be published for reference.

Kerala AYUSH Counselling Choice Filling 2025

Candidates must ensure that after successfully registering at the official website https://cee.kerala.gov.in/, they need to take part in the choice filling on or before the scheduled dates. The candidates will log in with their NEET 2025 Roll Number and Password and select from the list of available BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS AYUSH colleges of their own preference.

Candidates are to note that the window for choice filling will remain open till the announced deadline, but all candidates must fill in their choices on or before the deadline stipulated.

Kerala AYUSH Counselling Choice Locking 2025

Filling up the choices is the last step for submission; candidates are required to lock their choices. In the event that a candidate fails to lock the choices, it will be considered as the candidate does not wish to take part in the process of attending the counselling. 

It is advised that the options selected are reviewed from every aspect and are very carefully prepared and selected so that there is no need for changes later.  The system will show the Agree/Disagree button; the candidates selected will have to click Agree in order to confirm locking.  If choices are not locked, the candidate will not be considered for seat allotment and will not be allotted to any college.

Kerala AYUSH Counselling Seat Allotment

In Kerala AYUSH Counselling 2025, a clear distinction is made between seat allotment and admission. Admission to AYUSH courses (BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, BUMS) is offered through the Centralised Allotment Process (CAP). Seat allotment is conducted in a phased and merit-based manner.

Allotments are made under the State Merit (SM) quota, irrespective of whether the candidate is entitled to reservation benefits. Provided the seats under the State Merit quota exist statewide, the eligible candidates, including reserved category candidates, will be offered allotment under this quota first.

After all State Merit seats have been filled, the remaining candidates will be placed for consideration under their rightful reservation quotas as per the mandatory reservation policy of the state.

For self-financing AYUSH colleges, seat allotment will be conducted on a college/institution-wise basis, meaning that the availability and allocation will vary by individual college.

Kerala AYUSH Counselling Stray Vacancy Round

Stray Vacancy Round is the final phase of the Kerala AYUSH Counselling process and is conducted after all regular rounds of centralised allotment are completed. This round is meant to fill any vacant seats that remain unfilled in AYUSH courses such as BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, and BUMS.

In this round, there could be tight restrictions on inter-switching between courses or colleges. These controls are put in place so that the process of filling seats is just, efficient, and aligned with national standards.

Unallotted candidates from earlier rounds could have one last chance to find a seat in this final round of seat filling, but it will be important for them to be eligible, have documents verified, and follow published guidelines to take part.

Students from other states can participate in Kerala AYUSH Counselling 2025 under the All India Quota (AIQ). This quota allows non-resident candidates to apply for admission into government AYUSH colleges in Kerala, including courses like BAMS, BHMS, and BUMS.
