Core eligibility requirements

AIAPGET admits candidates to MD/MS/PG Diploma courses in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Homoeopathy. For the Ayurveda stream, the baseline is a BAMS degree from an NCISM-recognised institution plus internship completion within the deadline the bulletin specifies.

  • BAMS degree (or equivalent) from an NCISM-recognised college for the Ayurveda stream; BSMS, BUMS, or BHMS for Siddha, Unani, and Homoeopathy streams respectively.
  • Completion of the compulsory rotatory internship by the cutoff date announced for that cycle.
  • Registration with the State Council / Central Council of Indian Medicine, or as permitted by the current bulletin.
  • Always confirm the exact wording in the year’s information bulletin on exams.nta.nic.in.

The internship-cutoff question — and the 2026 precedent

Interns whose completion date lands near the cutoff ask this every cycle. In 2026, NTA extended the internship-completion deadline after the initial announcement — a real precedent, but not a guarantee. Treat any extension as a bonus, never as the plan.

  • Apply as soon as registration opens; do not wait on a hoped-for extension.
  • If your internship ends after the printed cutoff, write to NTA per bulletin procedure — relief has precedent, not certainty.
  • Keep your internship completion certificate (or principal’s certificate) ready before the correction window closes.

Who should verify before applying

Most BAMS graduates are straightforward cases. Edge cases should read the bulletin twice before paying the fee.

  • Candidates with supplementary/again-exam history in final BAMS.
  • Foreign-educated graduates needing equivalency or screening documentation.
  • Candidates switching between state registrations mid-cycle.
  • Repeat aspirants — no attempt limit has been announced, but eligibility documents must be current.

FAQs — AIAPGET eligibility

Can final-year BAMS students apply for AIAPGET?+

Only if their rotatory internship completes by the cutoff announced in that year’s information bulletin. In 2026 the cutoff was extended once — verify the current dates on exams.nta.nic.in rather than assuming a repeat.

Is there an age limit for AIAPGET?+

No upper age limit has been announced by NTA for AIAPGET in recent cycles.

How many attempts are allowed in AIAPGET?+

No attempt cap has been announced. Each cycle has its own eligibility document requirements.

Can a BHMS graduate apply for MD Ayurveda through AIAPGET?+

No. AIAPGET serves four streams — Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and Homoeopathy — and each stream requires its own undergraduate degree (BAMS, BSMS, BUMS, BHMS respectively). BHMS candidates apply under the Homoeopathy stream.

Where do I verify AIAPGET eligibility officially?+

In the information bulletin published for that cycle on exams.nta.nic.in/aiapget — it supersedes every blog, including this one.
