What to Do Now
Complete your Registration & Session Apply well within the 14th-18th September window, since Document Verification begins even before registration fully closes.
Keep your required documents ready in advance for verification, given the 15th-19th September window overlaps directly with the final days of registration.
Check the Provisional Merit List carefully the moment it's published on 20th September, and use the 21st-22nd September window immediately if you spot any discrepancy — this is your only opportunity to raise it.
Once the Final Merit List and Seat Matrix are out on 24th September, use the three-day Choice Filling window to research and order your preferences thoughtfully rather than rushing on the final day.
Before finalizing your college and course choices, checking recent cutoff trends across AYUSH colleges in Maharashtra can help you build a more realistic preference list.
Plan your Physical Joining early within the 28th September-1st October window, rather than waiting until the final day.
