Candidates applying for MD/MS courses in Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Siddha, and Unani have until August 2, 2026, at 11:50 pm to make necessary changes to their applications on the official AIAPGET portal.
AIAPGET 2026 is scheduled to be held on August 22, and this correction window allows applicants to update key details such as exam city preferences and subject selections. Any fee differences arising from these changes must be paid separately. After the deadline, no further modifications will be accepted, so candidates should carefully review their information before final submission.
Understanding AIAPGET and Its Importance
The All India AYUSH Postgraduate Entrance Test is a national-level exam conducted by the NTA for admission into postgraduate programs in traditional Indian medical systems. These include Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Siddha, and Unani medicine. The exam plays a crucial role in determining eligibility for MD and MS seats across various institutes in India.
Given the competitive nature of these admissions and the importance of accurate application details, the correction window provides a vital opportunity for candidates to rectify errors or update preferences. This ensures their applications reflect their current choices and credentials accurately.
What Can Be Changed and What Cannot
The NTA has clearly outlined which fields in the AIAPGET application form can be edited during the correction period and which cannot. This distinction helps maintain the integrity of the application process while offering flexibility where needed.
- Editable fields include: signature image upload, Class 10 and Class 12 details, graduation details, date of birth, gender, category, sub-category or PwBD status (if not verified through the UDID portal), and identity proof (for candidates who registered with an ID other than Aadhaar).
- Non-editable fields include: mobile number, email address, permanent and present addresses. Additionally, only one among the candidate's name, mother's name, or father's name can be edited.
It is important to note that the correction facility can be used only once, so candidates should be certain about the changes they make.
