In short

The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) issued a notice on October 27, 2026, postponing AIAPGET 2026 Round 1 counselling.
The postponement, attributed to administrative reasons, affects candidates seeking postgraduate AYUSH admissions for the 2026-27 academic session.

The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) has postponed the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026 Round 1 counselling activities.

This postponement impacts candidates who qualified AIAPGET 2026 and are seeking admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) streams for the 2026-27 academic session. The AACCC conducts central counselling for all deemed and central institutions, as well as government and government-aided quota seats.

Impact on AIAPGET 2026 Round 1 Schedule

The deferment has put a hold on all ongoing Round 1 counselling activities with immediate effect. The original schedule for various stages of Round 1 counselling, including registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting, has been suspended. Candidates who had already completed their registration and fee payment will have their data and payment status secured, and no fresh fee will be charged once the revised schedule is released.

Historically, delays in AIAPGET counselling have compressed reporting and joining windows for AYUSH PG aspirants, potentially pushing back the academic session start and tightening the timeline for stray vacancy rounds. The revised counselling schedule and an updated seat matrix detailing available seats at participating institutions will be announced soon on the official AACCC portal.

Counselling Activity	Original Date (2026)
Round 1 Registration and Fee Payment	October 26 to November 1
Choice Filling and Locking	October 27 to November 1
Seat Allotment Result	November 3
Reporting at Allotted Institute	November 4 to November 13

Registration and Participation in Counselling

Candidates aspiring for postgraduate AYUSH courses in central, deemed, and national institutions, including Banaras Hindu University and various National Institutes of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Homoeopathy, must register themselves at aaccc.gov.in for participation in AACCC-PG counselling. This includes paying counselling fees, which comprise a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit, at the time of registration.

The AACCC also manages online counselling for All India Quota (AIQ) seats for undergraduate AYUSH courses (BAMS/BSMS/BUMS/BHMS/B.Pharm-ITRA). Candidates are advised to regularly check the official AACCC portal for updates regarding the revised schedule for registration, choice filling, choice locking, seat allotment, and reporting, and to avoid acting on unverified information from other sources.
