AACCC AYUSH UG Counselling 2026 Schedule Released: Check Round 1, Round 2 & Stray Vacancy Dates

Introduction

The AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) has released the complete schedule for Online UG Counselling for the academic year 2026-27. This covers admissions to Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and Homoeopathy undergraduate courses (BAMS, BUMS, BSMS, BHMS), regulated jointly by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) and the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH).

This schedule is a long one — it covers three full rounds plus two additional stray vacancy rounds. Let's go through each part step by step, so you know exactly what's coming up and when.

The counselling schedule released by AACCC includes:

Round 3 Counselling Schedule 2026

SVR-I Counselling Schedule 2026

Stray Vacancy Round II (SVR-II)

SVR-II works differently.

This is an important point.

The schedule clearly states:

No Registration and No Choice Filling

The choices submitted during SVR-I will be considered for SVR-II.

So, if you're reaching this stage, don't assume that you'll get another opportunity to create a fresh choice list.

SVR-II Counselling Schedule 2026

Important Point About Stray Vacancy Round II

This deserves one final reminder.

According to the AACCC schedule:

SVR-II does not have fresh registration or fresh choice filling.

The choices submitted during SVR-I are considered for SVR-II.

So if you're participating in SVR-I and want to remain in consideration for the subsequent process, don't treat the choice list casually.

Your choices at that stage can matter later.

Conclusion

The AACCC AYUSH UG 2026 counselling process is spread across several months, so it can look complicated at first.

But once you break it down, the pattern is fairly simple:

Register → Pay → Fill Choices → Lock Choices → Allotment → Result → Report.

Round 1 registration runs from 31 August to 13 September, with the Round 1 result scheduled for 16 September and reporting from 17–23 September.

After that, AACCC moves into Round 2 and Round 3, followed by the Stray Vacancy Rounds in November.

The biggest thing we would tell students is: don't treat counselling as a race to complete forms.

Take your time while preparing your preference list. Check the available seats, understand the colleges you're choosing, keep your documents ready and pay attention to the exact closing times.

And especially for the later stages, keep checking the official AACCC portal, because the schedule itself asks candidates to follow the latest counselling notices and updates.

If you're confused about which AYUSH colleges to put first, how to prepare your AACCC choice list, or what options are realistic according to your NEET rank, getting proper counselling guidance before locking your choices can save you from making a decision you'll regret later.
