- A secure online counseling system will be implemented for the provisional allocation of available seats based on the candidates' merit, choices, and preferences. The counseling process will take place within a specified period through the University's website, www.amruhp.ac.in. Candidates will have the opportunity to modify their choices of course, college, and quota after the display of the merit list, which will be prepared based on the combined and category-wise merit ranks of qualified candidates in the NEET-UG-2024 All India Merit. Candidates must exercise caution and accuracy while selecting their choices and preferences for the course, college(s), and quota.
- After the provisional allocation of seats in the counseling rounds, candidates can log in to their accounts on the University website to download their provisional admission letters. They must then report to the Principal of the respective college with all the original documents and a printed copy of the confirmation of the online application form. The documents and their photocopies (self-attested) will be verified. Once the original documents are verified, the prescribed eligibility criteria are met, medical fitness is confirmed, and the required fees are submitted, candidates must report to the college where they have been provisionally allocated for their joining.
- Following the completion of the 1st round of counseling, the University will conduct the 2nd round according to the schedule provided. The online counseling form will be available on the website www.amruhp.ac.in. During this period, candidates must submit fresh choices and preferences for courses, colleges, and quotas to be provisionally allocated vacant seats. All candidates listed in the AMRU merit list published by the University are eligible to fill out the online counseling form for the 2nd round. If a candidate is satisfied with the seat allocated during the 1st round of counseling, they are not required to participate in subsequent rounds. During the 2nd round of counseling, candidates may also be eligible for shifting or upgrading from one medical college to another. Those allocated seats during this round must pay a token amount or registration fee as specified, depending on their choice of course, college, and quota.
