Puducherry's Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) has recently published an important list for students seeking admission to the Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) course. This list names students eligible for a special last round of seat allotment.
A total of 20 students have been included in this final list. Among them, 3 students are for seats under the Government Quota (GQ), and 17 students are for seats under the Management Quota (MQ).
What is the BAMS Course?
BAMS stands for Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery. It is a professional degree in Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine from India. This course helps students learn about traditional Indian medicine and become Ayurvedic doctors.
Understanding Government and Management Quotas
In college admissions, seats are often divided into different categories:
- Government Quota (GQ): These seats are offered by government colleges or at government-regulated fees in private colleges. They are usually given based on merit, following rules set by the government, and typically have lower fees.
- Management Quota (MQ): These seats are controlled and filled by the management of private colleges. Fees for these seats are generally higher than government quota seats.
Special Stray Round Allotment Explained
The 'Special Stray Round Allotment' is often the last stage of college admissions. It happens after all regular counselling rounds are completed. This round aims to fill any seats that are still empty, ensuring no seat goes vacant. It provides a final chance for eligible students to get admission.
Who Can Get a Seat?
Students who have passed the NEET UG 2025 exam are the ones eligible for the CENTAC NEET 2025 counselling process. This special stray round for BAMS is part of that process. Only those who qualified in the national medical entrance exam are considered for these seats.
