CEE Kerala PG Ayurveda 2026: Register by Oct 26 for 245 seats

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has opened preliminary registration for admission to Post Graduate (Degree/Diploma) Courses in Ayurveda for the 2026-27 academic year. The registration process commenced on 26 October 2026, accessible through the official CEE Kerala website, cee.kerala.gov.in.

This initial registration aims to identify interested candidates and mitigate a last-minute rush before the complete application process begins. The facility is available for candidates seeking admission to Government, aided, and self-financing Ayurveda colleges across Kerala, with an approximate annual intake of 245 seats, subject to potential variations.

Preliminary Registration Process and Eligibility

The preliminary registration for PG Ayurveda courses in Kerala started following the declaration of the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026 results by the National Testing Agency (NTA), New Delhi. Candidates who have qualified in AIAPGET 2026 are eligible to register their names, mobile numbers, and email IDs on the CEE Kerala portal. This initial step is distinct from the complete application process, which will be detailed in a subsequent notification.

To register, candidates must use a valid email ID and mobile number, ensuring their name and date of birth match supporting documents. Payment of the application fee can be made online or through cash payment using an e-Challan at selected Head and Sub Post Offices. Candidates are required to upload their photograph and signature according to prospectus specifications, along with PDF formats of their date of birth proof, nationality, and nativity proof. Other supporting documents for communal reservation, special reservation, and annual family income may be uploaded before the stipulated time. All original uploaded certificates must be preserved for verification when demanded.

Admission Criteria and Academic Requirements

Admission to Post Graduate (MD Ayurveda) courses in Kerala is based on the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) scores. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, is responsible for preparing the state rank list and conducting admissions through a Centralised Allotment Process (CAP). This system, established in 1983, aims to simplify admissions and ensure merit-based allotments, upholding principles of transparency and fairness.

Candidates must satisfy specific qualifying examination and academic requirements. A Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) degree or a provisional degree certificate recognized under the applicable Indian Medicine Central Council Act, 1970, or the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine Act, 2020, is mandatory. Also, candidates must hold a permanent or provisional registration certificate issued by the Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM), National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), or the relevant State or Union Territory board. Completion of a one-year compulsory rotating internship, as specified for the 2026-27 academic year, is also a prerequisite. Detailed academic eligibility requirements will be outlined in the official admission prospectus, which will be published after government approval.

Next Steps for Registered Candidates

This preliminary registration does not substitute the complete application process. The detailed notification regarding online application submission will be issued once the Government-approved prospectus for PG Ayurveda courses is published. Registered candidates will then need to complete and submit their applications online when the application facility is activated on the CEE Kerala website.

After online submission, candidates will be able to register their options and take a printout of the acknowledgement page for future reference. The acknowledgement page or supporting certificates should not be sent to the CEE office. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official website, cee.kerala.gov.in, for updates on the application and allotment process for the 2026-27 academic year.
