The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-examination for 49 candidates who were unable to complete the AIAPGET 2026 examination due to a power failure at an exam centre in Jaipur. The re-examination will be conducted on September 1, 2026, from 10 am onwards. The affected candidates will get another opportunity to appear for the All India Ayush Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026.

Why Has NTA Announced the AIAPGET Re-Examination?
The re-examination has been announced after 49 candidates were unable to complete their AIAPGET 2026 examination because of a power failure at the Jaipur examination centre. As the affected candidates could not resume and complete the examination, NTA has decided to conduct a separate examination rather than rely on their incomplete attempt. The re-examination will therefore provide the affected candidates with an opportunity to appear for AIAPGET 2026 under examination conditions.
AIAPGET 2026 Main Examination
The main AIAPGET 2026 examination was conducted on August 22, 2026, in computer-based test mode.
The examination was held in two shifts:
- Morning shift: 10 am to 12 noon
- Afternoon shift: 3 pm to 5 pm
AIAPGET is conducted by NTA for admission to postgraduate programmes in Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy. Admissions to postgraduate AYUSH courses, including MD and MS programmes, will be conducted according to the applicable admission and counselling guidelines.
What Should the 49 Affected Candidates Do?
The candidates included in the re-examination should carefully follow the fresh instructions issued by NTA.
They should:
- Regularly check the official AIAPGET website for updates.
- Monitor their registered email address for NTA notifications.
- Wait for the re-examination admit card or official venue notification.
- Check the re-examination date and examination centre once announced.
- Download the fresh admit card when it becomes available.
- Carry the admit card and a valid photo ID to the examination centre.
- Reach the centre well before the reporting time mentioned on the admit card.
- Follow all examination-day instructions issued by NTA.
Candidates should not assume that their previous examination centre will be used for the re-examination. The venue and other details will be confirmed separately by NTA.
AIAPGET 2026 Admit Card
NTA had released the AIAPGET 2026 admit cards before the main examination held on August 22. However, candidates appearing for the re-examination should wait for specific instructions from NTA regarding their fresh admit card and examination centre. They should rely only on the latest notification and admit card issued by the examination authority.
AIAPGET 2026 Answer Key and Result
The re-examination may also affect the subsequent answer key, result and counselling process for the 49 affected candidates. NTA is expected to issue further instructions regarding how the responses and scores of the re-examination candidates will be processed. Candidates should therefore wait for the official notification before drawing conclusions about their answer key, score or result. The provisional answer key is generally followed by a period during which candidates can review their responses and raise objections according to the procedure specified by NTA.
AIAPGET 2026: What Happens Next?
For the 49 candidates appearing in the re-examination, the immediate priority is to obtain the fresh examination details from NTA.
The expected sequence is:
- Re-examination: September 1, 2026
- Answer key and response-related updates
- Result declaration
- Counselling and admission process
- Admission to eligible postgraduate AYUSH programmes
The exact timeline for the subsequent stages will depend on notifications issued by NTA and the concerned AYUSH authorities.
NTA Gives 49 Candidates Another Opportunity
NTA's decision to conduct a separate examination follows the disruption caused by the power failure at the Jaipur examination centre. The re-examination will give the 49 affected candidates another opportunity to complete AIAPGET 2026 and compete for admission to postgraduate AYUSH programmes. Candidates included in the re-examination notice should continue monitoring the official AIAPGET portal for the fresh admit card, examination venue and detailed instructions. Meanwhile, candidates who are not included in the re-examination can continue following NTA's official updates regarding the AIAPGET 2026 answer key, result and counselling process.
