UP AYUSH Counselling 2026 Dates & Schedule are eagerly awaited by NEET 2026 qualified candidates seeking admission to BAMS, BHMS and BUMS courses in Uttar Pradesh. The counselling process is conducted by the AYUSH authorities of Uttar Pradesh AYUSH UG Counselling Board for eligible candidates seeking admission through the state counselling process.
The official Uttar Pradesh AYUSH Counselling 2026 schedule has not been released yet. Therefore, candidates should not rely on tentative dates circulating on unofficial websites or social media. The official schedule is expected to include important events such as registration, fee payment, document verification, merit list publication, choice filling and locking, seat allotment, and reporting at the allotted college.
Meanwhile, the AACCC AYUSH UG Counselling 2026 schedule for All India Quota seats has already been released, but it should not be confused with the separate Uttar Pradesh state counselling schedule.
In this article, we will cover the UP AYUSH Counselling 2026 dates, expected schedule, registration process, counselling rounds, choice filling, seat allotment, eligibility, and other important updates. The dates will be updated as soon as the official UP AYUSH counselling authority releases the 2026 schedule.

State Quota and All India Quota
It helps to understand that UP AYUSH Counselling 2026 runs alongside a separate national process. Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) handles 15% All India Quota seats in the same government and private AYUSH colleges of Uttar Pradesh, and its schedule for 2026 has already been announced, with Round 1 registration open from 31 August to 13 September 2026.
Uttar Pradesh AYUSH UG Counselling Board separately handles the remaining 85% state quota seats, and this is the schedule most candidates in Uttar Pradesh are waiting for. A candidate aiming for a state quota seat should follow the UP portal, not the AACCC dates, though many candidates end up registering on both if they wish to be considered under both quotas.
How the Counselling Rounds Are Spaced
UP AYUSH Counselling 2026 is expected to run in four stages: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, and one or more Stray Vacancy rounds. Each round follows the same sequence starts from registration or continuation of earlier registration, fee and security deposit payment where applicable, document verification, merit list, choice filling and locking, and finally seat allotment.
Candidates already admitted in an earlier round can use a later round only to try for a better seat through upgradation, while candidates without any seat can use every round to try again.
