Hello Aishwarya,

With a UP AYUSH State Merit List rank of 1708 in the OBC category, your chances of getting a BHMS seat in Kanpur or Prayagraj depend on the category-wise cutoff of previous years, seat availability, and the counselling round. Typically, top government colleges like King George’s Medical University or major private BHMS colleges have cutoffs for OBC candidates ranging from around 500 to 1500, but this can vary each year.

Since your rank is 1708, you might have a chance in lesser-known or smaller private BHMS colleges in Kanpur or Prayagraj, but securing a seat in the most sought-after government colleges is less likely. It is recommended to participate in all counselling rounds, fill multiple choices strategically, and consider nearby cities for better chances. Also, keep an eye on vacant seats during mop-up or stray vacancy rounds, which can increase your chances of admission.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
