NTA AIAPGET-2026 provisional keys till 5 Sep

The National Testing Agency has put the AIAPGET-2026 provisional answer keys and recorded responses on the exam portal and opened a short paid window to challenge any key a candidate disputes. The public notice is dated 03 September 2026. The subject line is Display of Provisional Answer Keys and Question Papers with Recorded Responses for Inviting Challenges for All India Ayush Post Graduate Entrance Test (AIAPGET) - 2026. The two-page file sits on nta.ac.in as Notice_20260903212505.pdf. CreationDate on the local copy is Thu Sep 3 13:24:30 2026 UTC, which is 18:54 IST the same evening.

AIAPGET-2026 was held on 22 August 2026 in Computer Based Test mode for about 51,482 candidates across 205 centres in 104 cities, as printed on the notice. A separate sitting for 49 candidates was conducted on 01 September 2026 at the Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women, Jaipur. The provisional keys and recorded responses cover that pipeline. They are for viewing and challenge on the official exam site, not for guessing a counselling date.

Where the keys sit and how long the challenge stays open

Candidates can open the provisional answer keys and their recorded responses at https://exams.nta.ac.in/aiapget/. Anyone dissatisfied with a key may challenge it online through the same portal. The challenge window runs from 03 September 2026 to 05 September 2026, up to 11:59 PM. The processing fee is Rs 200 (Rupees Two Hundred only) per question challenged. The fee is non-refundable. Payment is by Debit Card, Credit Card or Net Banking, and the payment cut is also 05 September 2026 up to 11:59 PM.

Annexure 1 on page 2 of the same PDF walks through the on-screen steps: open the AIAPGET site, use the Challenge(s) regarding Answer Key link, log in with application number, password and captcha, then view the paper or the key list. Question IDs are not sequential, so the ID on the paper must be matched to the list. The Correct Option(s) column shows the key NTA has marked. Candidates tick alternative Option IDs, may upload one supporting PDF, submit and review claims, then pay. Claims are treated as complete only after the fee is paid.

Expert review, final key and how result will be prepared

Challenges go to a panel of Subject Experts. If a challenge is upheld, the answer key is revised for all candidates, not only for the person who filed it. Results will be prepared on the Final Answer Key. The notice says no individual candidate will be told the status of a specific challenge. The experts' decision is final. That is the full outcome path printed here: provisional key, paid challenge, expert review, final key, then result.

For difficulties with the challenge flow, the notice prints helpline 011-40759000 and email aiapget@nta.ac.in. Updates are pointed to www.nta.ac.in and https://exams.nta.ac.in/aiapget/. The file does not print a result date, a counselling calendar or a scorecard release hour. It times the display of provisional keys and the three-day challenge clock ending 5 September at 11:59 pm.

Public Notice dated 03 September 2026 on Notice_20260903212505.pdf is the two-page NTA AIAPGET-2026 provisional-key and challenge order. The 03 to 05 September 11:59 pm window, the Rs 200 per question fee, and the Jaipur 01 September re-exam note for 49 candidates are from that file alone.
