Overview
About AIAPGET
The All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) is a national entrance examination for postgraduate study in India's AYUSH systems of medicine. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts it on behalf of the Ministry of AYUSH, holding it once a year as a single computer-based test.
AIAPGET qualifies candidates for MD, MS and PG diploma seats across four disciplines: Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Unani and Siddha. You sit the paper matched to your undergraduate stream. Eligibility rests on a recognised bachelor's degree in the corresponding system, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS or BSMS, with the one-year compulsory rotatory internship completed within the stipulated period.
Qualifying in the test is only the first step; seats are assigned through counselling. The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC), under the Ministry of AYUSH, runs central counselling for qualified candidates. It covers All India Quota seats in government and government-aided colleges, deemed universities, central universities and national institutes, along with the internal seats of Banaras Hindu University and the University of Delhi.
