AACCC Releases Revised 2026 AIAPGET Counselling Schedule; Round 1 Registration Opens

The AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) has officially released the updated counselling schedule for the 2026 All India AYUSH Postgraduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET). This revised timeline covers the entire admission process, including the first, second, and third rounds, as well as the two subsequent stray vacancy rounds for postgraduate MD and MS-ASU&H courses.

Candidates who have successfully qualified for the AIAPGET 2026 examination and are seeking admission into these postgraduate programs can begin the registration process starting today, October 30. The committee has provided the official registration portal at aaccc.gov.in for all eligible applicants to submit their details and preferences.

Key Deadlines for AIAPGET Round 1 Counselling

The registration window for the first round of counselling is now open and will remain accessible to students until November 3, 2026. It is important for applicants to note that the deadline for the final submission of online application forms is set for 2:00 PM on the closing date.

In addition to the registration deadline, the committee has specified the timeline for fee payments. While the registration portal closes earlier in the afternoon, the payment facility will remain active until 5:00 PM on November 3, 2026. Candidates are advised to complete their transactions well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute technical issues during the submission process.

Overview of the Revised Counselling Process

The release of this revised schedule provides clarity for students navigating the admission process for AYUSH postgraduate courses. By outlining the dates for all five stages—including the three main rounds and the two stray vacancy rounds—the AACCC aims to streamline the seat allocation procedure for the 2026 academic session.

Students are encouraged to monitor the official AACCC website regularly for further updates regarding seat allotment results and subsequent counselling phases.
