Important Instructions for Candidates

• The deadlines for online registration (2:00 PM), fee payment (5:00 PM), and choice locking (11:55 PM) on September 13, 2026, are distinct. Candidates must not confuse these separate deadlines.
• If choices are saved but not manually locked by the candidate before 11:55 PM on September 13, 2026, the system will automatically lock the last saved set of choices at the deadline. However, manually locking choices and printing the confirmation slip is strongly recommended.
• Fill and arrange your choices strictly according to your genuine preference, as the order significantly impacts the seat allotment outcomes.
• Always use only the official AACCC portal for all registration, payment, and choice filling activities. Avoid sharing login credentials or making payments through unofficial or suspicious links.
• Keep all necessary documents, including your NEET UG 2026 scorecard and any relevant category/eligibility certificates, prepared in advance to prevent last-minute complications.
• As AACCC has previously revised parts of the 2026 counselling timeline, candidates should always verify each deadline on aaccc.gov.in before finalizing any travel or reporting arrangements.
