AYUSH NEET Counselling is the centralized admission process for undergraduate AYUSH courses based on NEET UG scores. The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) conducts this counselling for the academic session. AACCC operates under the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), Ministry of AYUSH. It manages admissions for various AYUSH programs across India, ensuring a fair and transparent allocation of seats based on merit.

Candidates must have passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognized board with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Biotechnology as main subjects and English as a compulsory subject. Candidates appearing in Class 12 exams and awaiting results can also apply. They must meet the NEET qualifying percentile requirements as specified by the conducting authority.
