AYUSH NEET Counselling 2025: Process
The AYUSH NEET Counselling 2025 procedure is conducted online. This process includes registration, choice filling & choice locking, seat allotment results, and reporting to the allotted institute. Given below is the step-by-step process of this counselling that students must follow to secure a seat in government or private institutions for the AYUSH courses:
Registration
The first thing students should consider doing is to register themselves on the online portal once it is open after the NEET Results 2025. Follow the steps mentioned below to register for the AYUSH NEET Counselling 2025 online:
- Visit the official website and click on the “UG Counselling” tab.
- Click on “New Candidates Registration” and then enter the credentials like DOB, registration number, NEET roll number, and security PIN.
- Further, students should log in using the roll number and password sent to their registered email address.
- Fill out the form with personal and educational details, NEET scores, and upload the required documents.
- Pay the requisite amount of fees and submit the registration form
Choice Filling & Choice Locking
After students have completed the registration process, they are required to exercise the choice filling process. In this form, students must provide their preferred courses and colleges available in the list. Candidates can choose as many colleges as they want to. Students should remember that right after the choice filling process, candidates should lock their choices before the deadline. This step ensures that they have selected their colleges and courses and saved them.
Seat Allotment Results
After collecting all the information from the students, AACCC releases a seat allotment list. This list decides which students will be given seats in which colleges. Once the seat allotment result is out, candidates must visit the official website of AACCC and select their preferred seat. In this process, candidates can accept the allotted seat or make it vacant and make that particular seat available for other students.
Reporting to the Allotted Institute
After the document verification round, the counselling authority will release the final seat allotment letter. This list will contain the names of students along with their roll number, allotted college and courses, and quota. Candidates who have been allotted a seat and accepted it must report to the designated college within the stipulated time.
Document Verification
In the document verification round, candidates are required to produce their original documents to the college to verify their eligibility and claim the seats. Listed below are the documents required at the time of counselling:
- NEET Result 2025 and NEET Admit Card 2025
- Class 10 & 12 Marksheet
- Birth Certificate or Class 10 pass certificate
- Valid ID Proof (Aadhaar Card/ Voter Card/ PAN Card/ Driving License/ Passport)
- Category certificate (if applicable)
- Provisional Seat Allotment Letter
Post document verification, students will be offered final admission only upon paying the admission fee.
