3. Understand AACCC and State/UT Counselling

AACCC Central Counselling and State/UT Counselling are separate counselling processes with different schedules. Candidates should identify the counselling process applicable to their preferred college and seat.

4. Research Colleges Before Choice Filling

Candidates should research colleges before locking their choices.

  • Tuition fees
  • Hostel facilities
  • Seat availability
  • Previous closing ranks
  • College infrastructure
  • Academic environment

5. Do Not Miss the Joining Deadline

Getting a seat allotted is not the final step. Candidates must complete the required admission and joining formalities within the prescribed deadline. Missing the joining deadline may result in loss of the allotted seat or other consequences depending on the applicable counselling rules.

What Happens If AYUSH Seats Remain Vacant?

After the completion of the regular counselling rounds, vacant seats may be filled through Stray Vacancy Rounds.

The schedule mentions that State/UT counselling authorities shall conduct sufficient stray vacancy rounds to fill vacant seats, considering:

  • Number of eligible candidates available
  • Availability of vacant seats
  • Prescribed admission cut-off date

Candidates who have not secured admission during the earlier rounds should continue checking official counselling notifications and vacancy information.
