AME CET 2026 Phase II Counselling Overview
AME CET 2026 is conducted by UDAI AVIATION Private Limited for admission to Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) programs at participating institutes across India. The counselling process runs in three phases — Phase I in the last week of May, Phase II in the last week of June and Phase III in the last week of July 2026.
Phase II is specifically important for OBC, SC and ST students because reserved category seats that remain unfilled after Phase I are pooled and re-offered in this round. Students who qualify AME CET 2026 and fall under OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe categories are eligible to participate. Your All India Rank in AME CET 2026 determines your position in the merit list within your respective reserved category.
Category-Wise Seat Reservation for OBC, SC and ST
Participating AME institutes follow reservation norms to ensure equitable access for students from reserved categories. The standard category-wise seat distribution followed at most participating institutes is as follows:
| Category | Reservation Percentage | Eligibility Condition |
|---|---|---|
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 27% | Valid OBC-NCL certificate from competent authority |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 15% | Valid SC certificate from competent authority |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 7.5% | Valid ST certificate from competent authority |
| Economically Weaker Section (EWS) | 10% | EWS certificate issued by competent authority |
| Unreserved / General | 40.5% | Open to all on merit basis |
Reserved seats not filled after Phase I are re-offered in Phase II. If seats still remain vacant after Phase II, they are offered in Phase III or converted to the general pool as per individual institute policy.

Ques. What happens to unfilled reserved seats after Phase II?
Ans. Reserved category seats not filled during Phase II are carried forward to Phase III counselling in the last week of July 2026. After Phase III, participating institutes may convert remaining vacant reserved seats to the general pool as per their admission rules.
