Frequently Asked Questions

Everything AIAPGET aspirants commonly ask about rank, colleges, and counselling:

AIAPGET is conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS). Counselling for central and deemed university seats is managed by the AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee (AACCC) at aaccc.gov.in. State seats are handled separately by respective state counselling authorities.

Typically, AACCC conducts 2–3 rounds of centralised counselling followed by a stray vacancy round. After central counselling, states open their own rounds. Always track the official schedule as timelines can shift post-exam.

Yes. Many state government colleges (especially in Kerala, Karnataka, and Maharashtra) have cutoffs extending up to rank 1500–2000 depending on stream and category. SC/ST/OBC candidates get significant rank relaxation — opening government seats at much higher ranks.

Ayurveda (MD/MS) has the highest number of PG seats overall due to the largest number of colleges. Unani and Siddha have fewer but very competitive central institutions like NIUM Bengaluru and RGSHS, Bhopal.

Most states accept the AIAPGET rank for state quota counselling. However, a few states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu may conduct their own state-level Ayush PG entrance tests. Always verify with the respective state AYUSH department.

Many state government colleges require candidates to serve in rural/remote government health facilities for 1–2 years after completing PG. Breaking the bond usually attracts a penalty of ₹10–25 lakhs. Always read the bond terms at the time of document verification.

Yes. MD/MS in Ayurveda qualifies you for PhD admission in Ayurveda, Pharmacology, and related disciplines at universities like BHU, Gujarat Ayurved University, and MUHS. CCRAS also offers research fellowships specifically for AYUSH postgraduates.

Official cutoffs and seat matrices are published on aaccc.gov.in and the NBEMS portal (natboard.edu.in) after each counselling round. Always refer to these — third-party predictions including this guide are approximate.

⚠️ Disclaimer: All rank ranges, fees, and college data on this page are approximate and based on 2023–24 trends. Actual cutoffs change each cycle. Always verify with aaccc.gov.in and the official NTA/NBEMS portals before making decisions.
