AACCC AYUSH PG Counselling

Choose the right admission route

Start with the AACCC portal for the appropriate UG or PG stream. Check the participating institution and quota before choosing a seat: central counselling and state counselling have separate registration, payment and reporting processes.

The name of a state in this directory does not confirm that a local college, a specific course or an independent counselling round is available there. Establish that from the current official seat matrix.

Eligibility: what to check before applying

For postgraduate study, start with the relevant AIAPGET discipline and qualifying degree. Do not apply undergraduate qualification or NEET-UG rules to a PG seat.

Domicile, category and seat eligibility

Before adding a AACCC preference, identify which seat pool you are applying to. A college can have more than one admission route, and the conditions may differ.

1. Find the quota and category labels in the official seat matrix.
2. Read the matching residence, schooling, institutional or service conditions in the bulletin.
3. Check the issuing authority, validity period and format for each claimed certificate.
4. Confirm whether an outside-state candidate can apply to that specific seat pool.

Do not assume a fixed reservation percentage or a universal “open state” rule. If a certificate is pending, follow the stated deficiency or correction process rather than assuming it can be submitted after allotment.

Your application, step by step

1. Identify your seat route. Match AIAPGET session, course, quota and authority. Open the portal from the authority’s own notice.
2. Prepare the file set. Use legible scans in the specified size/format and names matching your certificates.
3. Register and pay. Save the application number, submitted form and successful payment receipt; a bank debit alone may not confirm submission.
4. Resolve deficiencies. Check verification status, correction notices and the eligible-candidate list.
5. Order your preferences. Compare recognition, specialty, clinical training, stipend and bond. Save the locked choice list.
6. Read the allotment instructions. Complete acceptance, fees and physical/online reporting exactly as directed.
7. Keep proof of joining. Collect the admission acknowledgement and read the next-round rule before opting for an upgrade or exit.

Fees: build a complete admission budget

For AACCC AYUSH PG counselling, payment consists of a Non-Refundable Registration Fee and a Refundable Security Deposit. Both must be paid online during registration.

Compare specialties and PG institutions

Build a specialty-first shortlist. For each AACCC option, record the exact programme name, department, permitted seats, hospital workload, teaching unit, stipend terms, course fees and any service bond.

A college offering an undergraduate programme is not evidence that it has an approved PG seat in your specialty. Use the session’s discipline- and specialty-wise matrix, then cross-check the institution’s applicable permissions.

Compare like-for-like closing ranks: the same discipline, quota, category, round and rank type. An overall AIAPGET rank, category rank and state merit position are not interchangeable.

Upgrades, exit and security deposit

Read the round-specific rules before you choose to join, upgrade or resign. Do not assume a Round 1 facility remains available in a later round.

• Fresh registration: is a new applicant allowed, and is another payment required?
• Choice retention: are previous choices carried forward or must you fill a new list?
• Upgrade: what happens to the existing seat if a higher preference is allotted?
• Exit or resignation: which mode and deadline are valid, and is an acknowledgement required?
• Forfeiture: which actions affect the deposit or eligibility for later rounds?
• Other counselling: how does joining a central, state or institutional seat affect further participation?

Keep the official notice and a copy of every acceptance, resignation or joining acknowledgement. An informal message to a college may not count as a valid portal action.

Documents to prepare

Use this as a preparation checklist. The AACCC bulletin determines the final documents, formats and number of copies.

• AIAPGET admit card, scorecard and relevant rank details
• Qualifying degree/provisional degree and all professional marksheets
• Internship completion certificate meeting the notified deadline
• Required professional registration certificate
• Identity and date-of-birth documents
• Category, disability, domicile, institutional or in-service certificates where claimed
• Application, payment, choice-locking and allotment receipts
• Any prescribed bond, undertaking, transfer/migration or relieving document

Keep originals available for the notified verification/reporting process. Check spelling, dates, category and registration details across documents before submitting.
