State Counselling Tips
Multi-State BAMS Counselling — 8 Zaroori Tips
01
Same Day — Sab Register Karein
NEET result aate hi UP + AIQ + Bihar + Uttarakhand — sab portals par same day ya next day register karein. Windows chhoti hoti hain. Ek state miss karna matlab ek shot miss karna.
02
State Domicile Policy Samjho
Har state ki domicile policy alag hoti hai. UP mein UP address chahiye. Bihar mein generally open hoti hai. Rajasthan mein Rajasthan domicile preferred. Apply karne se pehle portal par domicile requirement check karein.
03
ST Candidates: Tribal States Priority
Jharkhand ST cutoff ~180–250, CG ~190–260, MP ~200–260 — UP (~250–320) se bahut lower. ST candidates ke liye yeh 3 states UP se zyada important hain. Central ST list mein hain toh AIQ bhi alag se critical hai.
04
General 440–469: Bihar is Key
470 se neeche wale General candidates ke liye UP govt nahin milti. Bihar aur Uttarakhand mein Gen cutoff 440–465 hai — aap clearly competitive hain. Bihar counselling UP ke parallel chalao — alag portal, alag registration.
05
OBC: Bihar + AIQ Combination
UP OBC ~450. Bihar OBC ~420–440 — 20–30 marks ka advantage. AIQ OBC ~440. OBC candidates ke liye UP + AIQ + Bihar sabse effective combination hai. NCL validity pehle check karein sab states ke liye.
06
NCISM Verify — Har State Ke Colleges
Kisi bhi state mein seat accept karne se pehle ncism.nic.in par college approval verify karein. Non-NCISM college ki degree invalid hoti hai nationally. Yeh rule UP, Bihar, Rajasthan — sabhi states mein apply hota hai.
07
Parallel Counselling — Ek Seat Final Hogi
5 states mein apply kar sakte ho simultaneously. Dono/teeno mein seat milne par best option choose karein, baaki surrender karein. Fee partially refundable hoti hai timely surrender par. Ek seat final rakhni hoti hai.
08
Rajasthan: NIA Jaipur Target
National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) Jaipur — India ke top BAMS institutes mein se ek. Rajasthan counselling mein yeh top choice mein rakhein. General ke liye ~460–480 range mein competitive hai — BHU ke baad best national option.
