AACCC AYUSH UG Round 3: October 2026 Dates and Choice-Filling Checklist
Check AACCC AYUSH UG Round 3 dates for October 2026, separate registration and choice deadlines, and a practical checklist for students and parents.
Round 3 is underway: know the separate deadlines
As checked on 17 October 2026, AACCC has opened new registration for Round 3 of AYUSH undergraduate counselling. The official 2026–27 schedule lists registration from 14 to 20 October, closing at 2 PM on 20 October. Payment remains available until 5 PM that day. Choice filling runs from 15 to 20 October, with the final cutoff at 11:55 PM; choice locking is scheduled from 2 PM to 11:55 PM on 20 October. The schedule specifies server time.
Seat-allotment processing is scheduled for 21–22 October, the result for 23 October, and reporting at allotted institutions for 24–29 October. Check the AACCC website for any revision before acting. Completing registration does not mean that choices or subsequent reporting have also been completed.
Understand which counselling process you are using
AACCC describes this process as counselling for eligible NEET-UG 2026 candidates seeking specified all-India-quota AYUSH undergraduate seats, including BAMS, BSMS, BUMS, BHMS and B.Pharm-ITRA. Its UG page explains the registration fee and security-deposit structure and directs candidates to the information bulletin for forfeiture conditions. This announcement concerns AYUSH counselling; it is not an MBBS or BDS allotment notice.
Before proceeding, identify your current situation: first-time participant, previously allotted candidate, joined candidate or someone considering an upgrade. Read the rules that apply to that exact position. Avoid using another student’s experience as a substitute for the current bulletin, especially when the two candidates have different allotment histories.
Make a preference list you would genuinely accept
Start with the course and the kind of training you want. Then compare institutions using their current official information. Relevant questions include teaching arrangements, practical and clinical exposure, location, total cost and the support available to students. A famous name or a convenient city can matter, but neither should replace understanding the course itself.
Write down why each college appears above the next. This simple exercise often reveals choices added only because a friend suggested them. Discuss affordability before locking the list. Include tuition, accommodation, food, travel and other disclosed charges in the family calculation. Seek written clarification from the institution if a published charge or condition is unclear.
Check the live seat information carefully
The AACCC UG page provides Round 3 provisional and virtual seat matrices for the relevant streams. Use the latest documents linked there, checking the college, course, category and seat type together. Do not treat an old screenshot or a circulating spreadsheet as the current seat matrix.
Keep a comparison sheet for your own decision-making, but return to the official portal for the final entry. Read each selected option slowly before saving. Ask a second person to check the order while you remain in control of your account. Never share a password or one-time password with someone promising a seat, and do not assume that a private prediction can guarantee an allotment.
Keep evidence of every completed step
Save the registration acknowledgement, payment confirmation and the final choice record available from the portal. Name files by date and stage so they remain easy to find. If the screen shows an unclear transaction status, use the portal’s stated support process before making repeated payments. A bank debit by itself should not be your only record of successful completion.
Once an allotment is announced, read the result instructions before travelling. Prepare the official reporting documents and check the receiving institution’s working arrangements. Keep original records secure and carry copies where required. If you cannot meet a condition, contact the responsible authority promptly; silence or an assumption that an extension will arrive can create avoidable problems.
What future NEET candidates can learn
For students preparing for a later NEET examination, this process illustrates why admission planning continues after the test. Keep academic and identity records organised, learn how official notices are dated, and understand the difference between qualifying an examination and obtaining a particular seat. Parents can help with logistics while allowing the student to understand and own the course choice.
