Choice Filling & Locking

Select courses (BAMS/BHMS/etc.) and colleges in order of preference. Ensure you lock your choices before the deadline.
3

Round 1 Allotment & Free Exit

Seat allotment is published. Candidates can join the allotted college, or choose 'Free Exit' (not joining without losing the security deposit).

Round 2 & Upgradation

Candidates can opt for upgradation from Round 1 to Round 2, and from Round 2 to Round 3. If a seat is allotted in Round 2 and not joined, the security deposit is forfeited.

🔄 Round-wise Rules: Free Exit, Upgradation & Registration

Understand when you can register freshly, when 'Free Exit' is applicable, and penalties for not joining an allotted seat in AACCC.

Counselling Round	Fresh Registration	Free Exit / Penalty if not joined	Upgradation allowed?
Round 1	✅ Allowed	✅ Free Exit (Deposit is NOT forfeited)	✅ Yes, to Round 2
Round 2	✅ Allowed	❌ Forfeiture of Deposit (Exit with forfeiture)	✅ Yes, to Round 3
Round 3	✅ Allowed	❌ Forfeiture + Out of Counselling	❌ No
Stray Vacancy	❌ NOT Allowed	❌ 1 Yr Debarment from AACCC + Forfeiture	❌ No

📌 Important: Unlike previous years, AACCC now allows upgradation from Round 2 to Round 3. However, leaving a seat allotted in Round 3 or Stray round carries strict penalties.

💰 Registration Fee & Security Deposit

Payment must be done online during registration. The security deposit is refunded to the same account after counselling concludes if no rules are violated.
