NEET UG 2026 qualifiers eyeing a BAMS, BHMS, BUMS or BSMS seat have something concrete to act on now. AYUSH UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 registration is live on the official AACCC portal, and candidates hoping for a central quota seat need to move before the window shuts.
AYUSH NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 Registration Begins
The AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC), which operates under the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), Ministry of AYUSH, has opened Round 1 registration for AYUSH NEET UG Registration 2026 at aaccc.gov.in. This centralised counselling covers admission to BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BSMS and B.Pharm (Ayurveda) at ITRA Jamnagar for the 2026-27 session.
Here is the part candidates often miss. AACCC does not run the entire AYUSH admission system across the country. It handles the 15% All India Quota seats in government and government-aided colleges, plus all seats in central universities, national institutes like BHU Varanasi, NIA Jaipur, NIA Panchkula, NIH Kolkata, and deemed universities. State quota seats and most private college seats fall under the respective state or UT AYUSH counselling boards, which run their own separate registration process with their own timelines. Anyone applying only through AACCC while ignoring their state counselling window could end up missing out on a wider set of options.
Any candidate who has qualified NEET UG 2026 and meets the required eligibility criteria can participate in this AACCC Counselling 2026 round, subject to completing registration within the precise timeline.
AYUSH Counselling 2026 Dates and Important Events
According to the latest AACCC schedule, candidates can register for AYUSH Counselling Round 1 2026 between August 31 to September 13, 2026. Choice filling and locking will take place from September 9 to September 13, 2026, though registration is still open. This means candidates do not have to wait and can begin submitting their preferences during this overlap.
AACCC has not yet announced the schedule for the Round 1 seat allotment result, reporting deadline, and later rounds such as Round 2, mop-up, and stray vacancy. These dates are usually declared by AACCC after the earlier stage concludes; it is better to check the official UG counselling page consistently rather than depending on estimated dates shared on unofficial sources.
