Common Form Filling Errors and How to Avoid Them
These are the errors students encounter most often during AIAPGET registration — and exactly what to do about each one.
| Error | Consequence | Prevention |
|---|---|---|
| Name does not match Class 10 certificate | Form rejected or entry denied at exam centre | Copy your name character-for-character from your Class 10 marksheet, including initials and spaces |
| Incorrect date of birth | Eligibility check fails; application may be cancelled | Cross-check DOB against your Class 10 certificate before saving the form |
| Photo exceeds 200 KB or has a coloured background | Upload rejected by the portal; form stays incomplete | Use a white-background photo and compress the JPEG to under 200 KB using a free image compressor tool |
| Signature file too large or unclear | Upload fails; signature rejected | Keep the file under 30 KB; sign in black ink on plain white paper and scan at 200 DPI |
| Wrong Ayush stream selected | You appear for the wrong exam paper | Select the stream that matches your UG degree (e.g., Ayurveda for BAMS, Homeopathy for BHMS); verify before submitting |
| Fee payment timeout or double debit | Fee debited but registration not confirmed | Wait 48 hours — NTA reconciles failed transactions automatically. If unresolved, email aiapget@nta.ac.in with your bank statement |
| Incomplete or expired category certificate | Reservation benefit denied at counselling stage | Upload the full, valid certificate issued by a competent authority; partial documents are not accepted |
| Registration email ID entered incorrectly | OTPs and admit card alerts go to the wrong inbox | Use an email ID you actively check; note it alongside your application number screenshot |
| Internship certificate not available at time of form filling | Eligibility condition unmet; application rejected | Confirm your internship completion certificate is issued before starting the application; appearing in final year is generally not permitted |
Use the NTA correction window (opened briefly after the registration deadline) to fix errors in your name, date of birth, photo, and exam city. Stream and category selections are generally locked after submission and cannot be changed.
