The Ayush Admissions Central Counseling Committee has the Round 1 choice-filling and locking window for AACCC-UG counselling 2026-27 open through 13 September 2026. The two-page landscape time schedule for online AACCC-UG counseling for the academic year 2026-2027 sits on the AACCC S3 path ending 202608311430952440.pdf. Creator metadata names Microsoft Word 2010. CreationDate on the local archive copy is Thu Aug 20 09:37:15 2026 UTC, which is 15:07 IST that afternoon. A companion one-page notice, Ref.1/1/2026-AACCC, Dated: 07.09.2026, tells candidates how to pick National Institute of Ayurveda seats at Jaipur and Panchkula. CreationDate on that local file is Sun Sep 6 10:09:07 2026 UTC, which is 15:39 IST. The S3 path ends in 202609072056540784.pdf.

This pair is the live AYUSH All India Quota undergraduate clock. It is not an MCC NEET UG Round 2 provisional-result notice, and it is not the MCC NEET MDS Round 2 schedule that starts from 15 September. Those Medical Counselling Committee files govern MBBS/BDS or MDS seats. AACCC governs BAMS, BHMS and the other ASU and Homoeopathy undergraduate seats on aaccc.gov.in.

Round 1 registration and payment opened on 31 August 2026 and run through 13 September 2026 till 02:00 PM as per server time. The payment facility remains available till 05:00 PM on 13 September 2026 as per server time. Choice filling and locking run from 09 September 2026 to 13 September 2026 till 11:55 PM as per server time, with choice locking itself enabled from 02:00 PM to 11:55 PM on 13 September 2026 as per server time. Those four stamps are the ones still in front of candidates on 12 September.

Round 1 clocks candidates still have to meet

After the choice window closes, the schedule sends seat-allotment processing to 14 and 15 September 2026. Publication of the Round 1 result is on 16 September 2026. Reporting at the allotted institute runs from 17 September 2026 to 23 September 2026. Verification of joined-candidate data by AACCC, NCISM and NCH is listed for 24 September 2026. Candidates who are still editing choices on 12 September should treat 13 September as two separate cuts: registration and the form close at 02:00 PM, payment can continue till 05:00 PM, and choice locking sits in the 02:00 PM to 11:55 PM band.

The same schedule already prints later rounds so that readers do not invent them. Round 2 registration is listed from 26 to 30 September 2026, with a result on 02 October 2026. Round 3 registration is listed from 14 to 20 October 2026. Stray Vacancy Round I is listed in early November, and Stray Vacancy Round II reuses SVR-I choices with no fresh registration. Those later rows are calendar context. They do not extend today's Round 1 choice window. The last date of admission in ASU and Homoeopathy undergraduate courses is left to the NCISM and NCH notification, with a pointer to https://aaccc.gov.in for the counselling scheme, FAQs, schedules and notices.

The schedule also records that tentative seat-matrix verification for Round 1 ran from 25 to 26 August 2026. The AACCC portal banner in this desk window has been showing the seat matrix with choice filling in the 10-13 September band. Candidates should use the live matrix on the AACCC-UG portal rather than an older download when they reorder choices on 12 and 13 September.

Why NIA Jaipur and Panchkula BAMS sit on the CU/NI path

The 07.09.2026 notice is addressed to all candidates participating in AACCC-UG Counseling 2026. It is informed that candidates who wish to choose BAMS seats under National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA), Jaipur, Rajasthan, and National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA), Panchkula, Haryana, during choice-filling are requested to opt Selection of counseling as Central Universities/National Institutions on the AACCC-UG portal even though the above-mentioned institutes come under the category of Deemed to be University. That sentence is the whole operational point of the one-page file.

A second block covers the rest of the Deemed list. If candidates are interested in seats under Deemed to be University other than NIA Jaipur and NIA Panchkula, then they have to choose Deemed Universities as Selection of Counseling on the AACCC-UG portal. Mixing the two paths will hide NIA BAMS choices from the list that the allotment engine actually reads. The notice is issued for AACCC under the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine and the National Commission of Homoeopathy.

The note at the foot asks candidates to go through the Information Bulletin, Schedule, Registration Manual and the notices uploaded on the AACCC portal from time to time. For desk readers still inside Round 1 on 12 September, that means: finish registration by 02:00 PM on 13 September if the form is unpaid, keep payment ready till 05:00 PM, lock choices between 02:00 PM and 11:55 PM on 13 September, and set NIA Jaipur or NIA Panchkula BAMS under Central Universities/National Institutions rather than under Deemed Universities.

The AACCC-UG A.Y. 2026-27 time schedule posted as 202608311430952440.pdf, read with Notice Ref.1/1/2026-AACCC dated 07.09.2026 on 202609072056540784.pdf, is the Round 1 choice-filling clock through 13 September 2026 and the NIA Jaipur and Panchkula CU/NI path. Those two files, not the MCC UG or MDS calendars already live on the Education Desk, are the story.
