AIAPGET Cutoff 2027: Qualifying Percentiles & 2026 Marks

The qualifying percentile cutoffs

NTA sets qualifying cutoffs as percentiles, not marks — you qualify by landing above a fixed share of everyone who appeared. The categories below follow the standard announced structure; always confirm in the current bulletin.

UR / EWS — 50th percentile.
OBC / SC / ST — 40th percentile.
UR-PwD — 45th percentile.
Category-PwD relaxations apply per the bulletin’s stated rules.

What qualifying looked like in marks — 2026 reference

Percentiles convert to marks differently each cycle depending on paper difficulty and cohort spread. The 2026 conversion below is a reference point, not a promise for 2027.

UR / EWS — 115 out of 480 qualified.
OBC / SC / ST — 97 out of 480 qualified.
Percentile ≠ percentage — 115/480 can sit above the 50th percentile when the paper is hard.
Qualifying marks float yearly; aiming at the previous year’s number is a floor, not a target.

Qualifying vs admission: the cutoff that actually matters

Clearing the qualifying cutoff only makes you eligible for counselling. Seat allotment runs on AIR inside the seat matrix — high-demand MD branches (Kayachikitsa, Shalya, Prasuti, Panchakarma) in sought-after colleges close at ranks far stronger than qualifying.

Treat qualifying as the entry gate, not the goal.
Study prior AACCC allotment ranks per college and branch to set a real target.
In a +4/−1 paper, a handful of disciplined attempts separates the qualifying band from rank-band movement.

FAQs — AIAPGET cutoff

What are the qualifying marks for AIAPGET?+

Qualifying is set by percentile, not fixed marks: 50th for UR/EWS, 40th for OBC/SC/ST, 45th for UR-PwD. In 2026 the marks equivalent was 115/480 (UR/EWS) and 97/480 (OBC/SC/ST) — a reference, not a guaranteed repeat.

Does 50th percentile mean 50% marks in AIAPGET?+

No. Percentile measures your position relative to other candidates, not the fraction of marks scored. 50th percentile in 2026 translated to roughly 115/480 (~24%).

Do reserved categories get a lower AIAPGET cutoff?+

Yes — OBC/SC/ST qualify at the 40th percentile vs 50th for UR/EWS, and UR-PwD at the 45th, per the announced structure.

Does clearing the AIAPGET cutoff guarantee a PG seat?+

No. Qualifying only opens counselling eligibility. Actual seats allot on AIR against the seat matrix — popular branches close at much stronger ranks.

Will the AIAPGET 2027 cutoff be higher or lower than 2026?+

Unpredictable — it depends on paper difficulty and cohort performance. Prepare to a rank target, not a marks line.
