Basic details -

The candidate will have to fill out the application form online (www.aaccc.gov.in), preferably on their own. Application submitted through any other mode will be summarily rejected. They must use the same Mobile number/E-mail ID submitted during registration for the AIAPGET-2023 examination. Candidates must download the ‘Sandes app’ to get OTP on their registered phone number for registration.

The candidate should ensure that all the information filled in during the online registration/application form is correct and factual. The data entered by the candidate during registration on the NTA portal will be pre-populated and used for counselling purposes. The AACCC, M/o Ayush, will not entertain, under any circumstances, any request to change/modify/edit/alter the information provided by the candidates.

Candidates can submit the AACCC-PG counselling registration/application form only once. Candidates who submit more than one registration/application form will be debarred, and further action as deemed appropriate by the AACCC, M/o Ayush, will be taken.

Registration facility will be available at the beginning of the 1st Round, 2nd Round & 3rd Round, as specified in the counselling Schedule. Further, any request (for any reason) for registration will not be entertained after the closing of registration. There will be no fresh registration for the Stray Vacancy Round.

The Admission Authority will cancel the admission of the candidate who provided wrong information during registration and fails to produce the required documents at the time of admission.

In case the candidates join the allotted seat in the 2nd Round and thereafter want to exit from the institute, in that case, they need to withdraw/surrender from the respective institute three days prior to the commencement of registration for the 3rd Round with forfeiture of security money to avoid disqualifying from further counselling. If the candidates fail to do so, they will be ineligible for further AYUSH-PG counselling (Central/State/UT/Central Pool Quota).

The AIQ (Govt. /Govt. Aided /CU/NI) seats that remain vacant after the 2nd Round will be converted during the 3rd Round of counselling as per the algorithm placed at Chapter-3 only if the reserved seats are not opted by any candidates/non- availability of candidates of that particular category in the 3rd Round. Further, unreserved category candidates cannot claim the reserved seats shown to them as a virtual vacancy if the candidate of that particular category chooses the same seat.

Once the candidates are allotted a seat in the 3rd Round or Stray Vacancy Round, they will not be allowed to exit from the admitted/allotted seat. If the candidate does so, they will not be eligible for further AYUSH-PG counselling (Central/State/UT/ Central Pool Quota), and the security money of such candidates will be forfeited.

The selection and admission in any of ASU & H Institutions, recognized for running PG courses as per NCISM Act, 2020 & NCH Act, 2020, is subject to the fulfilment of the merit, admission criteria, eligibility as prescribed by the respective Universities, ASU&H institutions, NCISM, NCH, State & Central Government. AACCC, M/o Ayush, shall not approve any admissions in contravention of the eligibility criteria.

Candidates must confirm the fee structure/ any other additional fee from the colleges especially Deemed Universities, before filling up the choices. Counselling for All India Quota-PG (MD/MS) seats of Private ASU&H Institutes will be conducted by the respective State/UT counselling authority, and the candidates are required to contact the concerned State-UT counselling/Admission Authority for the same. The AACCC, M/o Ayush, has no role in Counseling for Central Pool Quota seats.

The role of AACCC, M/o Ayush, is limited to the allotment of seats to the participating candidates, as per their merit and choices, based on the data/Information of eligible candidates from the National Testing Agency, i.e., the AIAPGET-2023 examination conducting body.

The mop-up round will now be called Round 3 in the current counselling 2023-24.

All admissions will be made through online mode only; therefore, candidates must ask for an online-generated ‘Provisional Admission Letter’ at the time of physical reporting to ensure that the college has admitted them through online mode.

The security amount will be refunded to the bank account provided by the candidate at the time of registration on the AACCC-PG portal.

The following are the conditions in which security money will be forfeited -

1. If a candidate joins the allotted seat in the 2nd Round & wants to exit from the respective institution.

2. If a candidate does not join the allotted/upgraded or surrender the joined seat in the 3rd Round due to any unforeseen reason from the candidate’s end.
