AIAPGET 2026 Admit Card Released: Download Steps, Exam Timings and Key Instructions

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the admit card for the All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026. Candidates who plan to take the exam on August 22 can download the document from the official NTA website.

The admit card is an important exam document. It carries key details such as the candidate's name, roll number, exam centre, date, shift and reporting instructions. Candidates should check every detail as soon as they download it. A small mistake found at home is easier to handle than one found at the exam gate.

How to download the AIAPGET 2026 admit card

Candidates can use their Application Form Number and Password to access the admit card. Follow these steps:

Visit the official NTA website.
Open the AIAPGET 2026 admit card link.
Enter your Application Form Number and Password.
Submit the login details.
View and download the admit card.
Take a clear printout for the exam day.

Save a digital copy on your phone or computer as well. The printed copy remains important, but a backup can help if you misplace the first one.

AIAPGET 2026 exam date and shift timings

AIAPGET 2026 will take place on August 22 in two shifts. The subject-wise schedule is as follows:

Ayurveda: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Siddha, Unani and Homoeopathy: 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Candidates should follow the shift given on their admit card. They should also check the exam centre address, reporting time and other instructions before leaving home. Reaching the centre early can reduce stress and help avoid last-minute confusion.

Important instructions for candidates

The NTA has stated that the admit card is issued on a provisional basis. This means that downloading the document does not confirm final eligibility for admission. The eligibility of candidates will be checked at later stages of the admission process.

The admit card will not be sent by post.
Do not tear, fold, damage or change any entry on the admit card.
Check the details printed on the document with the information in your application form.
Keep the admit card safe for future use during counselling and admission.
Read all instructions printed on the admit card before the exam.

If a candidate finds an error in the admit card or cannot download it, they should contact NTA through the official helpdesk listed on the NTA website. Candidates should avoid relying on messages shared through social media groups unless the same information appears on an official website.

What candidates should check on the admit card

Before printing the document, check the spelling of your name, date of birth, photograph, signature, application number and roll number. Also check the exam subject, date, shift and centre details.

The photograph and signature should be clear. If the print looks blurred, download the file again and use a good printer. Keep more than one copy in a safe place. This simple step can prevent a very unnecessary morning adventure.

What to carry on exam day

Candidates should carry a printed copy of the AIAPGET 2026 admit card and the identity document mentioned in the exam instructions. They should read the information bulletin for the full list of permitted items and documents.

Pack the required documents the night before. Avoid carrying items that the exam authority does not allow inside the centre. Follow the dress, security and reporting rules given by NTA and the instructions printed on the admit card.

Purpose of the AIAPGET examination

AIAPGET is the common entrance examination for admission to postgraduate MD and MS programmes in Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy. The exam is used for All India Quota and State Quota seats offered by ASU and H colleges, institutions, universities and deemed universities across India.

After the examination, candidates should track official updates about the result, counselling, seat allocation and document verification. Admission rules, dates and procedures may vary across counselling authorities, so candidates should check each notice with care.
