Reading the AACCC PG AYUSH Counselling Timeline
Three points matter most. First, registration closes at 2:00 PM on the last day of each round, while payment stays open until 5:00 PM, so complete registration earlier in the day and not in the afternoon. Second, choice locking opens at 2:00 PM on the last day and runs until 11:55 PM, so there is a locking window on that day only, and a candidate who forgets to lock may lose the chance for that round. Third, the gap between rounds is small. Round 2 starts right after reporting for Round 1 ends, so candidates who take a seat should expect little time to reconsider.
The notice also refers to the last date of admission in ASU&H PG courses for 2026-27 as notified by NCISM and NCH, but gives no date. Candidates should watch the AACCC and NCISM websites for it.
What Candidates Should Do Now
Register and pay before the deadlines of Round 1, remembering that registration closes at 2:00 PM and payment at 5:00 PM on 3rd November.
Fill and lock choices carefully between 30th October and 3rd November, since locking is the final step.
Check the result on 5th November and report between 6th and 13th November.
Plan for later rounds using the Round 2, Round 3 and SVR dates above, and enter every acceptable option in SVR-I.
Compare colleges before locking. Our verified college database can help you evaluate postgraduate options.
