AIAPGET 2026 Round 1 counselling postponed: revised schedule expected shortly

The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) has postponed the Round 1 counselling for AIAPGET 2026. A notice issued on October 27, 2026, on the official AACCC portal, aaccc.gov.in, stated that the decision was made due to administrative reasons.

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 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 Candidates

The postponement directly affects candidates who had begun or were preparing for the AIAPGET 2026 Round 1 counselling process. The original schedule for various activities, including registration, choice filling, and seat allotment, has now been put on hold. Candidates who have already paid the registration fee for AIAPGET 2026 Round 1 counselling have been assured that their data and payment status will be secured, and no fresh fee will be charged once the revised schedule is released.

The AACCC has advised candidates to regularly check the official AACCC portal for updates regarding the revised schedule for registration, choice filling, choice locking, seat allotment, and reporting. The revised counselling schedule and an updated seat matrix are expected to be announced shortly on aaccc.gov.in.

Previous Counselling Schedule Revisions

This is not the first instance of the AACCC revising counselling schedules. The committee also managed online counselling for All India Quota (AIQ) seats for undergraduate AYUSH courses (BAMS/BSMS/BUMS/BHMS/B.Pharm-ITRA) and had previously revised the counselling schedule for NEET-PG 2025. This historical context makes you think delays in counselling can potentially compress reporting and joining windows for AYUSH PG aspirants, potentially pushing back the academic session start and tightening the timeline for stray vacancy rounds.

The NEET-PG 2025 counselling schedule saw revisions particularly for Round 3 and subsequent stray vacancy rounds. For instance, the NEET-PG 2025 Round 3 online registration window was from October 27 to November 3, 2025, with choice filling from October 30 to November 3, 2025.
