AIAPGET Unani exam-day guide
AIAPGET Unani · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Download and read the current AIAPGET information bulletin
The National Testing Agency (NTA) issues the bulletin and any corrigenda for each session. Read the sections on exam pattern, subjects, marking, and admit-card instructions rather than relying on second-hand summaries. Confirm the current session's details with the official NTA/AIAPGET portal.
Printed admit card with passport-size photograph
Carry at least one clear printout. Verify that the photograph pasted or printed matches the one uploaded in the application; mismatches are a common reason for being stopped at the gate. Confirm with the provider whether more than one copy is required.
Original photo ID matching your application
Typically a PAN card, Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, voter ID, or similar government photo ID. The name and spelling must match the application. Carry a second ID as backup.
Recent passport-size photographs
Carry two or three spare copies in case the invigilator asks for one for the attendance sheet. Confirm the required number with the provider.
Transparent water bottle and simple stationery
The exam is computer-based, so pens are mainly for rough work if paper is supplied. Items allowed inside the hall vary by session; check the bulletin's list of permitted and prohibited items.
Reach the centre well before the reporting time
Gates usually close before the start time and late entry is generally refused. Plan for traffic and security queues, and confirm the exact reporting time on your admit card.
Rehearse the route to the centre
Visit or map the centre in advance, note the entry gate, and check local transport on exam morning. Centres in large cities can be far from the main station.
Practise the computer-based interface
Use the official mock test or demo link if available to get comfortable with navigation, the question palette, marking for review, and the on-screen calculator if one is provided. Confirm availability with the provider.
Revise high-yield Unani and modern subjects
Focus on Kulliyat-e-Tibb, Mahiyat-ul-Amraz, Ilmul Advia, Murakkabat, Ilaj bil Tadbeer, and the modern basic-science subjects in the syllabus. Use the official syllabus to prioritise.
Plan food, medication, and rest for exam day
Eat a normal breakfast, carry any prescribed medicine only if permitted, and avoid new foods or heavy caffeine. Confirm any medical-exemption procedure with the provider in advance.
Leave prohibited items at home or with a companion
Phones, smart watches, Bluetooth devices, and study material are typically banned inside the hall. There may be no secure storage, so arrange this before you travel.
Re-check the official website the evening before
Look for last-minute notices on centre changes, timing, or guidelines. Confirm any change with the provider rather than social-media posts.
Plan the day
Download and print the admit card, check the centre address and reporting time, and read the bulletin's instructions page by page. Make a list of permitted items and pack them early. Take one full-length timed mock to settle your pacing, then stop learning new topics and revise only condensed notes.
Do a focused revision of the highest-yield areas: definitions and classifications in Mahiyat-ul-Amraz, single-drug actions in Ilmul Advia, common compound formulations in Murakkabat, and core concepts in the modern subjects. Review mistakes from earlier practice rather than starting new material.
Confirm travel and, if needed, accommodation. Lay out the admit card, ID, photographs, and permitted stationery in one bag. Check the official website once for notices. Keep the evening light, avoid all-night study, and sleep at your usual time.
Eat a normal breakfast, carry the packed bag, and leave with a buffer for delays. Re-check the reporting time and gate. Keep the admit card and ID accessible for security checks.
Follow the queue and security instructions, switch off and surrender any prohibited device as directed, and complete biometric or photo verification. Use the washroom before entering the hall because breaks are usually not allowed.
Read the on-screen instructions and do a quick systems check. Attempt easier questions first, mark doubtful ones for review, and watch the clock so you leave time to revisit marked items. Confirm the interface buttons before using them, and do not leave the seat without invigilator permission.
Note the question paper set and any issues, keep the admit card and rough sheets as directed, and check the official portal for answer keys, objections, and result timelines. Confirm the objection window and fee with the provider.
Rules to check
Carry the printed admit card and the original photo ID named on it; entry is generally refused without both, and the name must match the application.
Electronic devices, smart watches, and study material are normally prohibited inside the hall. Follow the invigilator's instruction on surrender and do not rely on centre storage.
Arrive by the reporting time printed on the admit card. Gates typically close before the start, and late candidates may not be admitted; confirm the exact cut-off with the provider.
The test is computer-based and multiple-choice. Marking typically awards marks for correct answers and may apply negative marking for wrong ones; confirm the current scheme in the official bulletin.
Breaks are generally not permitted during the test, so use the washroom before entry and raise your hand for any assistance.
Follow all invigilator instructions, keep your ID on the desk if asked, and do not communicate with other candidates. Suspected unfair means can lead to disqualification.
Use only the rough sheets or on-screen tools provided. Do not remove any exam material from the hall.
If a technical problem occurs, inform the invigilator immediately and note the time. Do not attempt to fix the system yourself, and confirm the reporting procedure with the provider.
