About this exam

AIAPGET - the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test - is listed by the National Testing Agency (NTA) among the entrance examinations it administers for admission and fellowship in higher educational institutions. For Unani graduates it is the gateway to postgraduate study, and this page covers the Unani stream, which is the whole of the assessed domain here. The NTA describes itself as "a premier, specialist, autonomous and self-sustained testing organization to conduct entrance examinations for admission/fellowship in higher educational institutions," and its site carries a dedicated "About Computer Based Test" section, so the exam is delivered in computer-based mode rather than on paper. The 2026 cycle is documented on the NTA site through a sequence of public notices: online applications were invited, a correction window for application particulars was opened, advance intimation of allotted examination city and admit cards were released, provisional answer keys and question papers with recorded responses were displayed for challenge, final answer keys were shown, and results/NTA scores were declared. The site also records an extension of the internship completion cut-off date for eligibility and a re-examination held for affected candidates at Shri Satya Sai PG College, Jaipur. Preparation should follow the published Unani syllabus, with revision built around the answer-key challenge windows and mock-test practice in the CBT interface. This page is independent study material and claims no official affiliation with the NTA or any AYUSH authority.

Common questions

About AIAPGET Unani preparation

Who conducts AIAPGET and in what mode is it held?

The National Testing Agency lists AIAPGET among the examinations it administers, and its site describes NTA as an autonomous testing organization conducting entrance examinations for admission and fellowship in higher educational institutions. The NTA site also carries a dedicated "About Computer Based Test" section, indicating computer-based delivery. Check the current information bulletin for the confirmed mode of your cycle.

What did the 2026 AIAPGET cycle look like from the candidate's side?

NTA notices for 2026 show a sequence: online applications invited, a correction window for application particulars, advance intimation of examination city, admit card release, provisional answer keys and question papers with recorded responses for challenge, final answer keys, and declaration of results/NTA scores. A separate notice extended the internship completion cut-off date for eligibility.

Is there a re-exam if something goes wrong at my centre?

Yes, it happens. NTA published a notice titled "Conduct of Re-Examination For Affected Candidates At Shri Satya Sai PG College, Jaipur" and a related notice on releasing admit cards for the re-examination of 49 affected candidates. If you believe your session was disrupted, watch the NTA site for such notices and follow the stated instructions rather than assuming an automatic re-test.

How do answer-key challenges work and should I use them?

NTA displayed provisional answer keys together with question papers and recorded responses for inviting challenges, then later displayed final answer keys. If you are confident a keyed option is wrong, challenge it within the window using the recorded response as evidence. Challenges are decided on merit, so attach reasoning from standard Unani texts rather than challenging broadly.

What is the internship eligibility requirement?

The source confirms only that NTA issued a notice on "Extension of Internship Completion Cut-off Date for Eligibility to Appear in All India Ayush Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET)-2026." The actual cut-off date is not stated in the material available here, so verify the current date in the information bulletin for your cycle before applying.

How hard is the Unani paper and where do candidates lose marks?

The source gives no difficulty statistics, marks, or cutoff data, so treat any specific claim with suspicion. Practically, Unani aspirants tend to lose marks on recall-heavy areas such as classical pharmacology, regimen, and materia medica nomenclature, where similar drug names and Arabic terms blur under time pressure. Build term-by-term recall lists and revise them repeatedly.

In what order should I prepare?

Start with the official Unani syllabus for your cycle and map every topic to a standard text. Then work subject by subject, layering revision so earlier subjects recur. Finish with timed computer-based mock practice, since the exam is delivered in CBT mode; NTA's site has a mock test and test practice section you can use to get comfortable with the interface.

How many attempts am I allowed and how long is my score valid?

The source material does not state a retake limit or a score validity period for AIAPGET, so no figure is given here. These are set in the information bulletin for each cycle and can change. Read the current bulletin and the relevant NTA notices before planning a repeat attempt or relying on a previous score.

Where should I check for updates during the cycle?

The NTA website is the single authoritative channel: application notices, correction windows, city intimation, admit cards, answer keys, and results are all posted there, sometimes only days apart. Check it regularly rather than relying on forwarded messages, and read each notice in full because titles are often the only summary provided.
