The Open Merit category secured just 49 out of 113 available seats in the Jammu and Kashmir postgraduate Ayurveda merit list, as reported by Kashmir Life.
Kashmir Life has reported that the Open Merit quota managed to obtain only 49 of the 113 positions allocated in the Jammu and Kashmir postgraduate Ayurveda merit list. The list, released by the state’s health education authority, determines eligibility for advanced Ayurvedic studies across the region.
The shortfall highlights the intense competition for limited postgraduate seats in Ayurveda, a discipline that continues to attract a large number of aspirants each year. Candidates who did not secure a place under Open Merit will have to explore alternative categories or await any future seat releases.
Stakeholders, including educational institutions and student bodies, are expected to review the allocation process to ensure broader access. Meanwhile, the 49 successful candidates will proceed to the next stage of admission, which includes counseling and seat allotment based on their ranking.
