AIAPGET Unani study guide

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

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. Topics on this exam: Unani. The AIAPGET Unani study guide has 1 section and about 370 words.

Unani - Humoral Foundations and Clinical Reasoning

The Unani domain of AIAPGET examines the Greco-Arabic medical system as transmitted through Ibn Sina's Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Razi's Kitab al-Hawi and later Indian Unani texts. Questions span Kulliyat-e-Unani (basic principles), Ilmul Advia (materia medica), Ilmul Saidla (pharmacy), Moalajat (medicine) and the clinical specialties. The exam rewards precise use of Unani terminology and the ability to connect theory to bedside signs. Arkan (elements): fire, air, water and earth.

  • Common mistakesCandidates trained in modern medicine or reading popular health content default to familiar lifestyle vocabulary; the exam tests the six asbab-e-sitta zarooriya and specific tadbeer-e-ilaaj procedures (hijamat, fasd, qai, ishaal, hammam) by name, so the familiar-sounding option is usually a distractor.
