Furthermore, any student declared ineligible by the Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC 2025) will be excluded from the entire UP NEET AYUSH counselling process.
Registration Fees and Security Deposit Details
Candidates participating in the stray vacancy round 2 will encounter varying fee structures based on their prior registration status. Applicants who have not previously registered for the 2025 counselling process must pay a consolidated registration fee and security deposit of Rs. 2,000 . This payment is mandatory to proceed with the application.
For candidates who had registered in the first, second, or third rounds but did not secure any seat allotment, a re-registration fee of Rs. 1,000 is applicable.
