The All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) 2026 was interrupted at an examination venue in Jaipur due to a power outage, impacting 49 candidates’ ability to finish their assessments. The examination was held on August 22 at Shri Satya Sai PG College, where a total of 192 candidates were present for the test. According to the National Testing Agency (NTA), the power failure occurred during the computer-based examination, preventing the affected candidates from completing their papers.

Details of the Examination

The AIAPGET was administered in Shift-I on the scheduled date, with 36,979 candidates registered nationwide. Out of those, 35,837 appeared for the exam across 200 centres throughout the country. While most candidates successfully completed the examination, a significant disruption was reported at the Jaipur centre where 49 candidates could not finish due to the unexpected power outage.

Furthermore, reports indicate that the disruption extended into the second shift of the examination. The power supply reportedly remained down, which affected candidates who were scheduled to take their tests later in the day. Candidates for the second shift were expected to enter the examination centre between 1 pm and 2.30 pm, but numerous individuals were still waiting outside the facility even after 3 pm.

The initial shift for the examination was set to take place from 10 am to noon, but the power cut occurred around 10.15 am, leading to the significant disruptions observed.

Re-Examination Details

In response to the situation, the NTA has declared that a re-examination will take place for those candidates who were unable to complete their tests. This supplementary examination is scheduled for September 1, 2026, at 10 am at Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women in Jaipur. This measure aims to ensure that the affected candidates have a fair opportunity to complete their assessments.

The NTA has informed that candidates who are eligible for the re-examination will receive revised admit cards, which will include further instructions and details related to this upcoming test. These communications are intended to assist candidates in preparing adequately for the re-examination.

For any inquiries or further assistance, candidates may reach out to the NTA via official helplines or by emailing aiapget@nta.ac.in. This step is part of the NTA’s commitment to providing support to candidates facing challenges due to unforeseen circumstances.
