“The university authorities had advertised 880 seats for 12 ayurvedic and four homeopathic colleges, including, 40 in Government Ayurvedic College, Patiala, for admissions in BHMS and BAMS courses and said they were affiliated to Guru Ravidas Ayurved University. But, during counselling, the authorities informed them that Central Council of Indian Medicine had discontinued affiliation of Government Ayurvedic College, Patiala, Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana, Sri Satya Sai Murlidhar Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Moga and Saint Sahara Ayurvedic Medical College, Bathinda due to which the number of seats were reduced to 200 seats and there was no counselling for the seats available in any colleges,” said Ashok Kumar, father of a candidate.

The parents demanded action against the university officials because they had to face a lot of inconvenience.

PS Aulukh, deputy registrar, Guru Ravidas Ayurved University, Punjab, confirmed the disaffiliation of the above said colleges by the Central Council of Indian Medicine for various reasons, including, shortage of teaching staff. He clarified that teaching and non-teaching staff could only be appointed by the government in Ayurvedic College, Patiala.
