1. Introduction: The "Repeated" Secret of NTA
If you are aiming for MD/MS seats in National Institutes like NIA Jaipur or AIIA Delhi, you cannot rely on just reading Samhitas.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has a specific pattern. In AIAPGET 2025, nearly 40% of the concepts were derived from previous years' trends.
The biggest mistake students make is solving random MCQs instead of Official PYQs.
In this blog, we provide the roadmap for AIAPGET 2026 Preparation and the correct way to download and analyze Previous Year Question Papers for all streams (Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani, Siddha).
2. Where to Download AIAPGET PYQs (Official Sources)
Stop searching on spammy websites. Here are the authentic sources to get the original papers.

3. AIAPGET 2025 Paper Analysis: What Changed?
To prepare for 2026, you must understand what happened in 2025.
Difficulty Level: Moderate to Difficult.
The Shift:
Ayurveda: Heavy focus on Charaka Samhita (Chikitsa Sthana) and Sushruta Samhita. Less weightage on minor Samhitas.
Homeopathy: Split was strict—60 Questions Core (Materia Medica/Repertory) + 60 Questions Allied (Anatomy/Pathology).
Pattern: Increase in "Statement Based" and "Assertion-Reason" questions (Time-consuming).
💡 Strategy for 2026: Don't just memorize one-liners. Practice reading long questions quickly.
4. Step-by-Step AIAPGET 2026 Preparation Strategy
Phase 1: The "Samhita" Mastery (Jan - March)
Ayurveda: Complete Charaka (matches 40% of the paper).
Homeopathy: Focus on Allen’s Keynotes and Boericke.
Rule: Read the original text first, then solve MCQs.
Phase 2: The "PYQ Drill" (April - May)
Download the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Papers.
Timed Practice: Sit for 2 hours (120 mins) and solve 120 Questions.
Analysis: If you got a question wrong on "Jwara," go back and read the entire "Jwara Chikitsa" chapter.
Phase 3: Allied Subjects (June)
Don't ignore Modern Medicine (Pathology, Obs-Gyn, SPM).
In AIAPGET, Allied subjects carry 30-40% weightage. A pure Ayurved/Homeopath student often fails here.

FAQ Schema
1. Is the AIAPGET 2026 syllabus the same for all streams?
No. The syllabus depends on your graduation stream (BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BSMS). However, the Exam Pattern is the same for all: 120 Questions in 120 Minutes with +4/-1 marking.
2. Where can I find AIAPGET previous year question papers with answer keys?
The official question papers are available on the NTA Archive. For detailed solutions and explanations, books like "Parija" (Ayurveda) or "Success Guide" (Homeopathy) are recommended as NTA only provides the raw answer key.
3. Is coaching necessary for AIAPGET 2026?
While self-study is possible, coaching helps in covering the "Modern/Allied" portion (Pathology, Surgery, Obs-Gyn), which is often weak for AYUSH students. Online test series are highly recommended for time management.
