After seat allotment, eligible candidates must report to the allotted institution within the scheduled reporting period.
The college will verify the candidate's academic qualifications, examination result, internship and category-related documents, where applicable.
AACCC instructs students to obtain an online-generated provisional admission letter after completing physical reporting.
Admission confirmation and any subsequent relieving or withdrawal must be processed through the official AACCC system. Offline changes are not recognised under the counselling scheme.

AIAPGET Counselling 2026 Security Deposit Refund and Forfeiture Rules
The registration fee is non-refundable. The security deposit may be refunded after completion of the counselling process if the candidate satisfies the refund conditions.
AACCC states that security money can be forfeited if a candidate does not join an allotted seat in Round 2 or later rounds, withdraws contrary to the counselling rules, or fails to comply with prescribed conditions.
There is no free exit from an allotted Round 3 or stray vacancy seat under the specified rules. Withdrawal or non-joining can also make a candidate ineligible for further AYUSH postgraduate counselling.
