Chhattisgarh AYUSH PG 2026 seat matrix released: register for counselling

The Directorate of AYUSH, Chhattisgarh, released the Postgraduate (PG) Seat Matrix for MD and MS Ayurveda admissions on November 3, 2026. This release is intended to guide candidates in selecting their preferred colleges and specialisations for the 2026-27 academic session. The seat matrix, along with other related notifications, is available on the official counselling portal, cgayush.admissions.nic.in.

This document is considered a crucial reference for choice filling, helping applicants avoid selecting colleges that do not offer their desired specialisations. The Directorate of AYUSH, established in 2000, is a government body under the Department of Medical Education (AYUSH) in the Chhattisgarh Government, responsible for infrastructure, equipment, drugs, human resources, and student counselling for admissions.

Overview of the AYUSH PG Seat Matrix 2026

The AYUSH PG Seat Matrix 2026 provides a detailed, stream-wise and college-wise distribution of MD and MS Ayurveda seats. It encompasses both Chhattisgarh State Quota seats and private All India Quota (AIQ) seats that are offered through state counselling. Candidates are advised to review this matrix thoroughly before proceeding with their counselling registration.

Alongside the seat matrix, the Directorate of AYUSH also released other important documents on November 3, 2026, including the Participating Institutes List, Frequently Asked Questions, Online Application Notice, Schedule, Information Bulletin, and Admission Rules & Regulations for CG AYUSH PG (MD/MS) 2026-27. These resources collectively provide a full guide for prospective students.

Eligibility Criteria for Counselling

To be eligible for the AYUSH PG counselling, candidates must have qualified the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026. In addition, applicants are required to meet the domicile and category rules as notified by the state government. A valid BAMS degree from an NCISM-recognised institution is also a mandatory prerequisite.

At the document verification stage, candidates must present a mandatory internship completion certificate. The Directorate of AYUSH administers 2 Government Ayurveda Medical Colleges and 9 Private AYUSH Colleges, which include 6 Ayurveda, 1 Homeopathy, and 2 Naturopathy & Yoga institutions.
