Maharashtra BAMS Round 3 Private College Cut-Off 2025 – Category Wise Merit List

The State CET Cell, Maharashtra has officially released the Round-3 Cut-Off List for BAMS Private Colleges (2025–26). This final round marked the closure of the majority of AYUSH seats under private and institutional quotas across the state.

This article provides a detailed category-wise, college-wise, and marks-based analysis of the last admitted candidates — helping aspirants understand the realistic cut-off trends for BAMS admissions through NEET UG 2025.

 Overview: Maharashtra BAMS Private College Admissions 2025

Maharashtra has one of the largest clusters of private Ayurvedic medical colleges in India, with over 70 private BAMS institutions participating in the NEET-UG CAP Counselling.

Round-3 was crucial, as this was the final major round before mop-up, filling nearly all remaining general, category, and minority quota seats in colleges located in Nagpur, Pune, Kolhapur, Ahmednagar, Sangli, and Chandrapur.

The Round-3 data reveals clear score relaxation trends, especially across SEBC, NT, and Institutional Quota categories — indicating that even candidates with 115–150 marks in NEET 2025 secured BAMS seats in select private colleges.

Open & EWS Category

• C.S. Ayurvedic Medical College & Hospital, Deori (Gondia) closed the Open and EWS categories at around AIR 4,21,950 | 308–307 Marks, respectively.
• This marks a significant drop from Round-2 (avg 340–350 marks), indicating high seat consumption in lower-tier private colleges.

 OBC, SEBC & SOBC Category

• OBC: 305 Marks – C.S. Ayurvedic Medical College, Deori (Gondia)
• SEBC: 301 Marks – Same College
• SOBC: 307 Marks – P.G. Ayurved Medical College, Nandurbar

Candidates from backward categories benefited from moderate score relaxation, especially in Vidarbha and Khandesh regions.

 SC & ST Category

• SC: 305 Marks – C.S. Ayurvedic College, Gondia
• ST: 248 Marks – Shivganga Ayurvedic College, Miraj (Sangli)

This shows the lowest Round-3 closing score among all categories, highlighting accessible opportunities for reserved-category aspirants.

NT & VJ Category Observations

This indicates that NTC, NTD, and VJA categories closed at extremely low marks (115–120), confirming that most leftover seats were filled in Round-3, even at minimum qualifying scores.

 D1, D2 & HA Quotas (Including Marathwada & Hilly Area Seats)

These regional quota cut-offs remained relatively strong (340–366 marks), suggesting stable demand in Konkan and Western Maharashtra zones.

 Institutional Quota (I.Q.) Cut-Offs – Round 3 (2025)

Under the Institutional Quota (I.Q.), seats are open to all-India candidates, including management quota. The Round-3 merit data shows wide variation depending on location and reputation of the institute.

The Institutional Quota showed the lowest cut-offs in the country — even below 120 marks in some categories, marking one of the final opportunities for late-qualifying candidates.

 Key Insights from Round-3 Private BAMS Cut-Off 2025

1. Lowest Closing Marks: 115 marks across multiple private colleges (NTC, NTD, and I.Q. categories).
2. Strongest Colleges: Dr. S.P. Patil Ayurved College (Kolhapur), MES Khed (Ratnagiri), Matoshri Parner (Ahmednagar) maintained relatively high closing marks (340+).
3. Rural vs Urban Trend: Rural-zone colleges (Chandrapur, Nandurbar, Washim) closed at minimal marks, while urban-zone colleges (Pune, Sangli, Kolhapur) held stronger scores.
4. Institutional Quota Impact: Seats under I.Q. ensured open access for all categories — ideal for students missing the state merit cut-offs.

 Counselling Outlook for NEET UG 2026

If NEET 2026 follows similar competition levels:

• Private BAMS Cut-Off (Round 3) is likely to rise by 10–15 marks.
• Students should target ≥340 marks (General) and ≥300 marks (OBC/SEBC) for stable admission chances.
• Candidates scoring below 150 can still consider I.Q. or AYUSH Mop-Up rounds for private college entry
