AIAPGET Ayurveda study guide

AIAPGET Ayurveda · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

AIAPGET - the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test - is a national-level entrance examination conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to postgraduate AYUSH programmes in India. For Ayurveda graduates, it is the gateway to MD/MS (Ayurveda) study, and the Ayurveda stream is the focus of this page. NTA lists AIAPGET among its examinations and publishes the full cycle of notices for it: online application invitations, application-correction windows, advance intimation of the examination city, admit-card release, provisional answer keys with question papers and recorded responses open for challenge, final answer keys, and declaration of results and NTA scores. AIAPGET-2026 notices also show that NTA extended the internship completion cut-off date for eligibility, and that a re-examination was conducted at Jaipur for 49 affected candidates - evidence that centre-level contingencies are handled case by case. Preparation should be built around the Ayurveda syllabus of your own graduate programme: revise Samhita and Siddhanta, Rachana Sharir and Kriya Sharir, Dravyaguna, Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana, Roga Nidana, Kayachikitsa, Shalya, Shalakya, Stri Roga and Prasuti Tantra, Balaroga, Panchakarma and Agada Tantra. Work through prior-year-style MCQs under timed conditions, then return to weak topics. Topics on this exam: Ayurveda. The AIAPGET Ayurveda study guide has 1 section and about 398 words.

Ayurveda - Core Siddhanta Tested in AIAPGET

AIAPGET (Ayurveda) is a single-stream postgraduate entrance test, and its Ayurveda paper rewards command of classical siddhanta over scattered trivia. Recurring themes are Tridosha and its seats, Agni–Ama, Shat Kriya Kala, Nidana Panchaka, Dravyaguna pharmacology (rasa, guna, virya, vipaka), and the correct sequencing of Panchakarma. Vata (Vayu + Akasha) governs all movement; Pitta (Agni + Jala) governs transformation and metabolism; Kapha (Jala + Prithvi) governs cohesion, lubrication and immunity - Charaka Sutrasthana 1. Classical seats: pakvashaya for Vata, nabhi/amashaya for Pitta, uras/amashaya for Kapha.
