# NTA AIAPGET exam in Jaipur disrupted by power cut 2026-08-22T17:06:05+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced a re-exam for the AIAPGET on September 1 after a power cut disrupted the test in Jaipur. The power failure affected candidates appearing for the Ayush post-graduate entrance exam at a centre in the city. The NTA said the re-examination will be conducted for all affected candidates. The date for the fresh test has been fixed as September 1. The agency has not yet released details on the number of candidates impacted or the specific centre involved. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The AIAPGET is the sole entrance exam for postgraduate courses in Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy. A power cut forcing a re-exam adds to the NTA's recent challenges, including leaks and rescheduling of other medical and engineering entrance tests. The NTA has faced increasing scrutiny over exam security and logistics. Candidates now wait for official communication on the revised schedule and any compensation for travel or inconvenience. The next concrete step will be the NTA's detailed notice with centre and candidate lists for the September 1 date. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Reports the disruption and re-exam announcement without editorialising or taking a side.
