Documents Required for AIAPGET 2026 Registration

Keep all documents ready in the prescribed file format before you start the application form. Uploading incorrect or oversized files is a common reason for form submission errors.

  • Recent passport-size photograph (JPEG, 10–200 KB, white background)
  • Scanned signature in black ink (JPEG, 4–30 KB)
  • BAMS / BUMS / BSMS / BHMS degree certificate or provisional certificate
  • Internship completion certificate — or an ongoing internship schedule letter if not yet completed
  • Category certificate: SC / ST / OBC-NCL / EWS / PwD (if applicable)
  • Valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar card, Passport, or Voter ID

Preview every uploaded file to confirm it is clear, legible, and within the permitted size; blurry or oversized uploads will trigger an error and prevent form submission.
