AACCC AYUSH Counselling
The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) is the official centralized counselling authority constituted under the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), Ministry of Ayush, Government of India. Its primary mandate is to conduct fair, transparent, and merit-based online counselling for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate AYUSH courses across the country. Established to bring uniformity and eliminate opacity from AYUSH admissions, AACCC functions as the single-window authority for All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government and government-aided colleges, 100% seats in Deemed Universities, Central Universities, and National Institutes. All processes — registration, choice filling, seat allotment, result declaration, and document guidelines — are managed through the official portal at aaccc.gov.in. For the academic session 2026–27, AACCC counselling will be based on the NEET UG 2026 score (for UG admissions) and AIAPGET 2026 score (for PG admissions). NEET UG 2026 is officially scheduled on May 3, 2026, with results expected in June 2026 and AACCC counselling projected to commence from August 2026. 📌 Key Fact for 2026–27AACCC does NOT conduct the entrance exam.
