Step 1 - Registration: NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates register on the official AACCC portal at https://aaccc.gov.in using the same mobile number and email ID used during NEET UG registration.
Step 2 - Fee Payment: Candidates pay the non-refundable registration fee plus the refundable security deposit online through net banking, credit/debit card, or UPI, based on the type of counselling selected.
Step 3 - Choice Filling: Candidates fill and arrange choices of course (BAMS/BHMS/BUMS/BSMS/B.Pharm Ay.) and institute in their preferred order. Choices must be locked before the deadline; if not locked manually, the system locks them automatically at the server time.
Step 4 - Seat Allotment Processing: AACCC processes seat allotment based on NEET UG 2026 merit rank and the choices locked by the candidate.
Step 5 - Provisional Result Publication: AACCC publishes the provisional allotment result on the portal.
Step 6 - Final Seat Allotment: The final result is published, and candidates can download their provisional allotment letter from the AACCC portal.
Step 7 - Physical Reporting: Allotted candidates must report to the allotted college/institute with original documents within the stipulated time as per the schedule. All admissions are through online mode only; candidates must collect the online-generated Provisional Admission Letter at the time of joining.
AYUSH Counselling Registration Process
Registration for AYUSH Counselling 2026 is completely online and is available at the beginning of each counselling round. Candidates do not need to visit any physical centre for registration or choice filling.

Fresh registration is available in the Stray Vacancy Round (SVR-I) for candidates who did not participate in any previous round.
If any registration details need to be corrected before choice locking, candidates can use the Registration Unlocking Facility available under "Available Services" on the portal, this is a one-time measure.
