The All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) is conducted annually by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission to postgraduate programmes in the AYUSH disciplines. The examination is used for the selection of eligible candidates seeking admission to postgraduate courses offered by government and private medical colleges in the fields of:
- Ayurveda
- Unani
- Siddha
- Homoeopathy
The AIAPGET 2026 examination is being conducted in online mode at examination centres across the country.
Power Failure Disrupts AIAPGET 2026 Examination at Jaipur Centre
The AIAPGET 2026 examination was organised in two shifts. During Shift 1, the examination was conducted specifically for candidates appearing in the Ayurveda stream.
Although the online examination was conducted at centres across the country, an unexpected disruption was reported at the NTA AIAPGET examination centre at Shri Satya Sai PG College, Jaipur.
A total of 192 candidates were scheduled to appear at the centre. However, due to a power failure, 49 candidates were unable to complete their examination.
The examination centre and the National Testing Agency subsequently confirmed the disruption and the decision regarding the affected candidates through a public notice on X (formerly Twitter).
New AIAPGET 2026 Exam Date for Affected Candidates
To ensure that the affected candidates are provided a fair opportunity to complete the entrance examination, the NTA will conduct the AIAPGET examination again for the 49 candidates whose test was interrupted.

AIAPGET 2026 Conducted in Two Shifts
The National Testing Agency conducted the AIAPGET 2026 examination in two shifts. The first shift was conducted exclusively for the Ayurveda stream.
The re-examination announced for September 1 is specifically meant for the 49 candidates at the Jaipur centre who could not complete their test because of the power outage. Other candidates who successfully completed the examination as scheduled are not covered under this re-examination arrangement.
What Should the Affected Candidates Do?
Candidates who were affected by the disruption at the Jaipur examination centre should carefully follow all instructions issued by the National Testing Agency regarding the re-examination.
They should keep track of official announcements and ensure that they are aware of the following important details:
New Exam Date:
September 1, 2026
Reporting and Examination Time: 10:00 AM
New Exam Centre: Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women, Jaipur
Candidates should also ensure that they carry the necessary examination-related documents and follow the instructions communicated by the authorities for appearing in the re-examination.
AIAPGET 2026 Re-Exam: Important Update for Jaipur Candidates
The cancellation of the examination for the affected group was necessitated by circumstances beyond the candidates' control. Since the power failure prevented 49 out of 192 candidates at the Shri Satya Sai PG College Centre from completing their online examination, the authorities have scheduled a separate examination to ensure that the affected aspirants receive an opportunity to take the test under proper examination conditions.
The AIAPGET 2026 re-examination will therefore take place on September 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM at Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women, Jaipur. Candidates concerned are advised to remain alert for further instructions and updates issued by the National Testing Agency.
