The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) has released a revised schedule for the All India Ayush Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) counselling 2025. This update impacts admissions to postgraduate AYUSH courses nationwide. Candidates must complete their Round 3 registration by November 3, 2024 . The window for choice filling and locking for Round 3 opens on October 30, 2024 , and will also close on November 3, 2024 . Prospective students should adhere strictly to these deadlines.
The schedule revision addresses specific issues encountered during previous counselling rounds. The AIAPGET Round 2 seat allotment results were initially withheld. This action stemmed from a lack of compliance by several participating institutes. These institutions failed to complete their online reporting processes adequately during Round 1 counselling. This non-compliance created significant problems for many candidates. It prevented them from accurately selecting their preferred category seats during the Round 2 choice-filling period, leading to the necessity for schedule adjustments.
The AACCC manages the AIAPGET AYUSH counselling process. This centralized system is crucial for admissions into various Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Surgery (MS) postgraduate programs. These specialized courses cover Ayurveda, Unani, Homoeopathy, and Siddha medical systems. Following the allotment result announcement, candidates can access their specific results and further instructions on the official AACCC website, aaccc.gov.in. This portal serves as the primary source for all counselling-related information.
Eligibility for Round 3 Counselling
Participation in AIAPGET 2025 Round 3 counselling is open to specific groups of candidates. Each group has distinct conditions for eligibility:
- Candidates who previously registered for AIAPGET 2025 counselling. This group includes those who did not receive any seat allotment in the preceding rounds. They also have the option of a “free exit,” meaning they can withdraw from the counselling process without penalty if they choose not to participate in Round 3.
- Candidates who successfully accepted and joined an allocated seat during Round 2. These individuals must have officially expressed their willingness to upgrade their seat preference in Round 3. This option allows them to potentially secure a higher-ranked or more desired institute or course based on availability.
- Candidates who decided to leave or officially resign from their assigned seat in Round 2. A critical condition applies to this group: they must have forfeited their initial security deposit at least three days prior to the commencement of Round 3. While permitted to re-register for Round 3, these candidates are explicitly required to pay the complete counselling fees again to regain eligibility.
