AYUSH NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 1 Registration Begins – Apply Online, Dates & Choice Filling

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.

Choice Filling and AYUSH Round 1 Seat Allotment

Choice filling is where the real decision-making happens. Candidates list colleges and courses in the order they'd actually like to join not just the order that seems "safe" because the system allots a seat based on the highest preference a candidate qualifies for at their rank. Once choices are arranged, they need to be locked before the deadline; preferences left unlocked risk not being counted at all.

Following the closure of choice filling, AACCC processes seat allotment using aspirants’ NEET UG 2026 rank, category and the preferences they submitted. After receiving a Round 1 seat, aspirants can either accept it and leave the counselling process or continue to the next round in pursuit of an upgrade while keeping their latest allotment. Irrespective of the option chosen, aspirants must report to the allocated institute within the given deadline and carry original documents for verification, this is mandatory to secure the seat.

Documents, Eligibility and Important Points for Candidates

Eligibility rests on two things:

• A valid NEET UG 2026 score
• Completion of Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology (or Biotechnology) from a recognised board, meeting the minimum percentage applicable to the candidate's category.

Documents generally include:

• NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard
• Class 10 and 12 mark sheets
• Category certificate (if applicable)
• A valid photo ID, passport-size photographs, and a domicile certificate where relevant.

A few mistakes come up every year and are easy to avoid. Candidates enter the wrong roll number, upload documents larger than the permitted file size, or forget to lock their choices before the deadline any of these can cost a seat. Another common mistake to avoid is relying on unofficial WhatsApp groups for counselling dates. Aspirants should verify updates directly on aaccc.gov.in directly, to avoid acting on information that may no longer be latest. 

Why Choose Vidyalive for Online Courses and Conclusion
