Candidates who qualified in the All India Ayush Postgraduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026 can participate in the postgraduate counselling process through the official website, aaccc.gov.in. According to the revised AACCC PG counselling schedule, Round 1 registration and payment will remain open from October 30 to November 3, 2026, until 2 PM as per server time. The payment facility will remain available until 5 PM on November 3.
Candidates can also fill and lock their course and college preferences during this period.
