AACCC-UG Counseling: How BUMS Seats Are Allotted

The Ayush Admissions Central Counseling Committee (AACCC), under the NCISM, is responsible for the centralized allotment of BUMS seats in government and aided colleges. Here’s how the seats are distributed:

• 15% All India Quota (AIQ): These seats in government and aided Unani colleges across states/UTs are filled through central counseling.
• 100% Central Universities/National Institutes: All seats (except state/institutional/nominated quota) in these institutes are filled via AACCC counseling.
• 100% Deemed Universities: All seats in deemed universities (established under Central Act) are part of the centralized counseling process.

Being aware of how seats are allocated can help you plan your applications and preferences better during the counseling rounds.
