Why It Matters
India's Ayush systems, Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy, depend on trained specialists for teaching, research and hospital care. Postgraduate seats are where those specialists are made: an MD or MS lets a graduate teach in Ayush colleges, work in specialist clinical departments and take part in research. The AACCC, which works under the Ministry of Ayush, conducts counselling for the all-India quota seats in government colleges and for seats in central and deemed institutions, so this schedule decides how thousands of graduates move into postgraduate study this year.
The timing matters for candidates because the windows are short. Registration and payment close in just over a week, and choice filling ends on the same day. Candidates who miss Round 1 can still try later rounds, but the best seats in the most sought-after institutions usually go early. After the result on November 3, those allotted a seat have ten days to report with their documents.
The schedule also follows the expansion of Ayush education. According to Ministry of Ayush data reported in Parliament, the number of undergraduate colleges offering Ayush courses rose from 520 in 2013-14 to 921 in 2025-26. Growth at the undergraduate level increases competition for postgraduate seats, which makes careful choice filling more important.
What candidates should do now: keep your AIAPGET 2026 scorecard, identity proof, degree and internship completion documents ready; check the seat matrix when it is published after October 25; and list colleges in your real order of preference, because the allotment follows the order you lock.
| Step | Date (2026) |
|---|---|
| Seat matrix verification | October 24-25 |
| Registration and fee payment | October 26 to November 1 |
| Choice filling | October 27 to November 1 |
| Round 1 result | November 3 |
| Reporting at college | November 4 to 13 |
Impact
Short-term: AIAPGET 2026 qualifiers must register and pay between October 26 and November 1 to take part in Round 1. Colleges will verify their seat numbers before registration opens.
Long-term: Timely completion of counselling lets the postgraduate academic session in Ayush colleges begin on schedule, which affects teaching, hospital services and research in these institutions.
Who is affected: AIAPGET 2026 qualified BAMS, BHMS, BUMS and BSMS graduates, Ayush colleges and universities, teaching hospitals, and the Ministry of Ayush.
