5,000 allotted seats in ayurveda, homeopathy courses

Ahmedabad: The Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPUGMEC) on Tuesday announced that so far 5,169 students have been allotted colleges in homeopathy and ayurveda courses. However, these students will have to wait for the admission committee’s next announcement for paying fees to confirm their admissions.

The committee also said that the offline round of admissions on 310 MBBS seats and about 600 BDS seats will begin from December 14. The offline round will end on December 18.

The admission committee figures showed that the students who have been allotted colleges include 336 students in government colleges, 1,149 students in private colleges, 318 students in homeopathy grant-in-aid colleges, 106 in government colleges and 3,260 students in private homeopathy colleges.

Sources said that the homeopathy and ayurveda students who have been allotted colleges will have to wait till the MBBS and BDS admissions are over to confirm their admissions. Sources said that as the students who do not get admissions in MBBS or BDS normally opt for homeopathy and ayurveda and in order to facilitate these students the admission committee will only announce admission confirmation dates later.
