Factors that influence UP AYUSH cut offs every year:
- Total UP domicile NEET-qualified candidates

- Student preferences — popular colleges always have tighter cut offs
- Category-wise seat distribution as per UP reservation policy
- Number of AIQ seats filled by AACCC (affects state quota seat availability)

UP Reservation Policy — How It Impacts Your Cut Off
UP AYUSH state quota follows Uttar Pradesh Government reservation policy:
| Category | Reservation % | Cut Off Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 21% | Closing ranks significantly relaxed — typically 80–120 marks lower than General |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 2% | Most relaxed cut offs — often seats available at relatively lower scores |
| OBC | 27% | Moderate relaxation — typically 40–60 marks lower than General |
| EWS | 10% | Similar to General category range |
| General / UR | 40% | Most competitive — highest marks required |
💡 Important for UP OBC Students: Unlike AACCC central counselling, UP state quota uses UP State OBC list — which may include communities not in the Central OBC list. Verify your caste certificate is issued as per UP government format by the Tehsildar or SDM.
Government College vs. Private College — Fee Comparison in UP
Understanding the fee difference is critical for making the right choice-filling decision:
| College Type | Annual Fee Range (BAMS/BHMS/BUMS) | Total 5.5 Year Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Government AYUSH College (UP) | ₹10,000 – ₹40,000 | ₹55,000 – ₹2,20,000 |
| Government-Aided AYUSH College (UP) | ₹30,000 – ₹80,000 | ₹1,65,000 – ₹4,40,000 |
| Private AYUSH College (UP) | ₹1,00,000 – ₹4,00,000 | ₹5,50,000 – ₹22,00,000 |
The difference between a government and private AYUSH college seat in UP can be ₹15–₹20 lakhs over the course of the degree. This is why securing a government seat through UP AYUSH counselling is worth fighting for in every round.
