The Anatomy of the Paper

AIAPGET is a highly competitive 120-minute computer-based test consisting of 120 Multiple Choice Questions. Unlike undergraduate exams, AIAPGET heavily integrates clinical scenarios with classical Samhita/Materia Medica knowledge.

Strategic Subject Weightage
For Ayurveda Aspirants:

The "Big Three" (Charaka, Sushruta, and Vagbhata) usually account for nearly 50-60% of the paper. Focus on Sutra-sthana for conceptual clarity and Chikitsa-sthana for clinical applications.

For Homeopathy Aspirants:

Organon of Medicine and Materia Medica are the scoring pillars. Expect case-based questions where clinical symptoms must be mapped to the correct remedy.

Mandatory D-Day Checklist

NTA's biometric process is time-intensive. Arrive at least 2 hours prior to the gate closing time.

✔ Admit Card: Printout with the Self-Declaration (Undertaking) filled in.
✔ ID Proof: Original Aadhaar/PAN/Voter ID (Expired or scanned IDs not allowed).
✔ Photos: One passport size photo (same as application) to be pasted on the attendance sheet.
✔ Internship Proof: While not usually checked at the gate, carry a digital copy of your completion certificate just in case.
NTA Security & Dress Code
Strictly Banned: Mobile phones, calculators, digital watches, wallets, and any metallic jewelry.

Dress Protocol: Wear light-colored half-sleeve clothing. Avoid large buttons or elaborate embroidery. Footwear must be open-toed (sandals/slippers) with low soles—shoes are strictly prohibited.
The "Three-Pass" Attempt Strategy

Since the time is limited (1 minute per question), avoid getting stuck on complex Shloka-based or lengthy clinical questions.

  • Pass 1 (0-40 mins): Solve all direct, fact-based questions you are 100% sure of.
  • Pass 2 (40-90 mins): Tackle clinical cases and questions where you can eliminate two options.
  • Pass 3 (90-110 mins): Review your "Marked for Review" items. Use the last 10 minutes strictly for final verification.
