After registration on the AACCC website and payment of the required fees, candidates can participate in the first round of counselling. The process is as follows:

• Provisional and Final Results: Initially, a provisional result is published. If no objections are raised, the final result is released.

• Joining the Allotted Seat: Candidates who wish to accept their seat must download the allotment letter from the AACCC website and report to the allotted college. They must complete admission formalities, including paying one year’s fee and submitting original documents.
