Choose the right admission route
Read the notification for the relevant system of medicine. Course-specific language, qualification and institutional conditions must be checked separately from general state eligibility.
Central counselling
Use the AACCC ug stream for the institutions and seat categories included in its current bulletin. A state application does not register you with AACCC.
Tamil Nadu admission
Check the separate authority notice for the exact course, quota and session. State, institutional and nomination processes must be identified before paying a fee.
The name of a state in this directory does not confirm that a local college, a specific course or an independent counselling round is available there. Establish that from the current official seat matrix.
Dates, rounds and reporting
The current round schedule must come from the official Tamil Nadu notice for UG. This guide does not label an old announcement as a live registration window.

Compare colleges and courses
Shortlist by the course you want to study, then compare government/private ownership, location, clinical exposure, the total cost and the actual seat category. Do not rank a college only by its name or an unofficial intake total.
Use the current college-wise matrix and relevant permissions. A college appearing in an older list does not confirm that all its seats are available in this round.
For earlier cutoffs, match course, quota, category, round, session and rank type. The NEET qualifying cutoff is different from the last admitted candidate’s closing rank.
Upgrades, exit and security deposit
Read the round-specific rules before you choose to join, upgrade or resign. Do not assume a Round 1 facility remains available in a later round.
- Fresh registration: is a new applicant allowed, and is another payment required?
- Choice retention: are previous choices carried forward or must you fill a new list?
- Upgrade: what happens to the existing seat if a higher preference is allotted?
- Exit or resignation: which mode and deadline are valid, and is an acknowledgement required?
- Forfeiture: which actions affect the deposit or eligibility for later rounds?
- Other counselling: how does joining a central, state or institutional seat affect further participation?
Keep the official notice and a copy of every acceptance, resignation or joining acknowledgement. An informal message to a college may not count as a valid portal action.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Tamil Nadu UG counselling questions
Does AACCC registration cover state counselling too?
No. Treat AACCC and the relevant state or institution as separate application routes. Check whether you need separate registration, payment and document verification for the seats you want.
Does this guide confirm that all AYUSH courses are available here?
No. Verify each course and college in the current official matrix. A state page also helps students explore central or nomination routes where a local option is not confirmed.
Can an outside-state candidate apply?
Check the exact quota and category in the Tamil Nadu notice. Do not infer eligibility from the college being private or from a general “open state” description.
Are the reference fees and cutoffs current?
Reference notes are dated background material. Use the applicable session’s official fee order and round result. A previous closing rank does not guarantee an allotment.
What should I save after choice locking?
Save the submitted preference order and the portal’s locking acknowledgement. Recheck instructions if a later round requires new choices.
