AIAPGET 2026 Counselling Process and Fee Structure

The AIAPGET 2026 counselling is structured into multiple rounds, with three primary rounds designated for All India quota seats. The process involves several key steps: registration, fee payment, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting to the allotted institute. Candidates must pay counselling fees, which include a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit, at the time of registration. The specific fee amounts vary based on the candidate’s category and their selection of counselling options.

Information regarding conditions for fee forfeiture, including details on refunds, is provided in the PG Information Bulletin 2026. The counselling process allocates postgraduate AYUSH seats across Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Unani, and Siddha courses, with allotments based on AIAPGET rank, choices exercised by aspirants, and seat availability.

Seat Matrix Availability and Counselling Rounds

The Round 1 seat matrix for AIAPGET 2026 is now accessible on the AACCC’s official portal. Specifically, the Ayurveda PG Seat Matrix for Round-1 (2026-27) can be found at aaccc.gov.in/pg-counselling/, while the general 2026 Seat Matrix Round 1 for AIAPGET 2026 is available at intraaaccc.gov.in/pg-counselling/. The counselling process, conducted by the AACCC, NCISM, Government of India, is expected to have commenced in September/October 2026, following the release of AIAPGET 2026 results.

During Round 1 counselling, applicants have the option of a free exit if they are not satisfied with their initial seat allotment. However, from Round 2 onwards, not accepting an allotted seat may lead to the forfeiture of counselling fees or a loss of eligibility for subsequent rounds. In Round 3 and the subsequent Stray Vacancy Round, a free exit option is typically not provided after the AIAPGET seat allotment is issued.
