Examination at a Glance
The AIAPGET 2026 was conducted across 205 centres in 104 cities on 22 August 2026, with 49,864 candidates appearing for the test. Of the total test-takers, 31,178 were female and 18,686 were male. A re-examination was held on 1 September 2026 for 49 candidates in Jaipur, after a power disruption affected their earlier attempt.
Discipline-wise Breakdown
Of the 49,864 candidates who sat the exam, 35,838 appeared for Ayurveda admissions and 10,643 for Homoeopathy. An additional 2,649 candidates appeared for the Unani course and 734 for Siddha. In terms of qualifications, the NTA declared 19,920 Ayurveda aspirants and 5,934 Homoeopathy candidates as having cleared the entrance.
Answer Keys and Official Access
Alongside the results, the NTA also released the final answer keys for AIAPGET 2026. In an official post on X (formerly Twitter), the agency confirmed: 'AIAPGET 2026 final answer keys officially released. Candidates can access the final answer keys and check their answers at the official examination portal.' Candidates are advised to verify their responses against the published keys before counselling begins.
Counselling and What Comes Next
The NTA has clarified that it bears no responsibility for the counselling process. The Ayush Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) will manage admissions to All India quota seats in government, government-aided, national, central, and deemed universities established under a central act, as well as designated state and Union Territory institutions. State and UT quota seat counselling will be conducted by the respective counselling authorities based on AIAPGET 2026 merit, subject choice, domicile eligibility, and applicable reservation policies.
The AIAPGET 2026 was administered by the NTA on behalf of the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM) and the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH), in consultation with the Ministry of AYUSH. Eligible and qualified candidates are expected to watch official channels closely as AACCC counselling schedules are announced in the coming weeks.
Point of View
000 — a structural change in who is seeking advanced Ayurveda and Homoeopathy credentials. The NTA's explicit disclaimer on counselling also underscores a recurring friction point: students who clear the exam often face a fragmented, multi-authority counselling maze that can delay admissions by months. With nearly 26,000 candidates qualified across disciplines, the pressure is now on AACCC and state authorities to run a smooth, timeline-bound process — something that has historically lagged behind the exam itself.
