# Maharashtra AYUSH admissions: 2,158 seats vacant, fourth round on 11 Nov 2026-11-10T04:51:07+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Maharashtra’s third round of centralised AYUSH admissions for the academic year 2026-27 has filled 11,592 of 13,750 seats across BAMS, BHMS and BUMS courses, leaving 2,158 vacant, the state CET Cell said on 10 November. Admissions covered 204 colleges. BAMS recorded 87.62% occupancy with 8,152 of 9,303 seats filled, BHMS reached 75.69% with 3,042 of 4,019 seats taken, and BUMS had the highest rate at 92.99% with 398 of 428 seats filled. Private institutions lagged government colleges across all three courses, especially in BHMS where 947 of the 977 vacant seats are in private colleges. The CET Cell has announced a special fourth CAP round before the stray vacancy round, with seat allotment to be declared on 11 November. Update, 10 November 2026: Hindustan Times reports that the CET Cell has announced a special fourth CAP round for BAMS, BHMS and BUMS admissions, with the seat allotment list to be declared on 11 November. Times of India mentions only that the stray vacancy round schedule will be announced shortly, without the fourth round detail. The aggregate figures of 11,592 filled seats and 2,158 vacancies remain unchanged across both outlets. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Times of India and Hindustan Times largely mirror the same CET Cell data, making the coverage uniform straight reporting. Both lead with the aggregate 84.30% fill rate and 2,158 vacancies, then break down each course. Hindustan Times adds the specific next step: a special fourth CAP round with seat allotment on 11 November, which Times of India does not mention. Times of India instead ends by noting the stray vacancy schedule will be announced shortly. The only practical difference is how each frames the pending process: one reports an already declared fourth round, the other a stray round yet to be scheduled. Both confirm that BHMS has the lowest occupancy and private colleges the most vacancies. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Uniform data-led report, adds stray vacancy note - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Uniform data-led report, adds fourth CAP round date This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
