AIAPGET Cutoff 2027: Expected August, Category Wise Qualifying Marks and Stream Wise Cutoff

The AIAPGET 2027 cutoff will be the minimum qualifying percentile that NTA announces after the exam. For the General category, this has been the 50th percentile in every recent cycle. Reserved category candidates — OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST, and PwD — need to score at the 40th percentile or above. The 2027 cutoff and result will be published at nta.ac.in after the exam, expected in July–August 2027.

The AIAPGET 2027 exam is expected in July–August 2027. The qualifying cutoff will be declared with the result on nta.ac.in, followed by AACCC counselling registration at aaccc.gov.in from September 2027 onward.

Key things to know about AIAPGET cutoff 2027:

• The General category qualifying cutoff is expected at the 50th percentile, consistent with all five previous cycles.
• Candidates in SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, and PwD categories need to reach the 40th percentile to earn a valid AIAPGET rank.
• AIAPGET 2027 has 300 questions worth 300 marks; scoring above 130 marks for General gives you a safe chance at top central AYUSH institutions.
• The Ayurveda stream is the most competitive, with the highest number of candidates and tightest admission closing ranks at premium colleges like NIA Jaipur and AIIA Delhi.
• You need to qualify AND register for AACCC counselling at aaccc.gov.in to be considered for central government and participating state AYUSH institutions.
• States like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Rajasthan run their own AYUSH PG counselling with separate state-level cutoffs for state-quota seats.

AIAPGET 2027 Cutoff: Important Dates

All dates below are expected timelines for the 2027 cycle. They are based on previous years’ official schedules. NTA will publish the confirmed dates in the AIAPGET 2027 information bulletin on nta.ac.in.

These timelines mirror the 2023 and 2024 cycles. The official 2027 schedule will replace these estimates once NTA releases the AIAPGET 2027 information bulletin.

Factors Affecting AIAPGET Cutoff 2027

Several factors decide how high or low the AIAPGET 2027 cutoff will be. Knowing these helps you plan your target score:

• Total candidates appearing: AIAPGET typically sees around 60,000–70,000 applicants. A rise in this number pushes the competition higher and lifts the closing ranks at top central AYUSH institutions.
• Exam difficulty level: A harder paper lowers raw scores across the board. This brings the 50th percentile mark down — so you need fewer marks to qualify. An easier paper does the opposite.
• Available PG seats at central institutions: NIA Jaipur, AIIA Delhi, NIUM Bengaluru, NIS Chennai, and NIH Kolkata have fixed intakes. New seats ease competition; unchanged intake keeps it the same.
• Stream-wise applicant-to-seat ratio: Ayurveda has the most candidates per seat. Siddha and Yoga & Naturopathy have far fewer applicants, so their AACCC closing ranks tend to be more accessible.
• NTA normalization (if multi-shift): If AIAPGET 2027 runs across multiple shifts, NTA normalizes scores. This can change the marks-to-percentile ratio compared to single-shift years.
• Ministry of AYUSH policy changes: Revisions to qualifying percentile norms, reservation ratios, or counselling eligibility rules set by CCIM directly affect the cutoff structure for 2027.

AIAPGET 2027 Category-Wise Qualifying Cutoff

The AIAPGET qualifying cutoff is category-wise and regulated by CCIM norms. The table below shows the expected 2027 category-wise qualifying cutoff and the approximate marks range at those percentiles, based on score distribution patterns from 2022–2024.

The marks ranges above are approximate and based on previous NTA score distributions. Exact qualifying marks for 2027 will be declared with the official AIAPGET 2027 result on nta.ac.in.

AIAPGET Qualifying Marks vs Admission Cutoff

Many students confuse the qualifying cutoff with the admission cutoff. They are two separate hurdles. You must clear both to secure a PG AYUSH seat.

• Qualifying cutoff (NTA): The 50th percentile mark for General (or 40th for reserved categories). Cross this and you get an AIAPGET rank and scorecard. This alone does not give you a seat.
• Admission cutoff (AACCC counselling): The closing rank for a specific college, specialty, and category in AACCC counselling rounds. Your rank must fall within this closing rank to get that particular seat.

If you just clear the qualifying cutoff — say, score exactly at the 50th percentile — your rank may still be too low for a seat at NIA Jaipur or AIIA Delhi. Top central institutions fill up fast. For Ayurveda MD at these premier colleges, candidates with General category ranks in the top 300 tend to secure seats in AACCC counselling, based on previous counselling data.

Clearing the qualifying cutoff earns you a rank. But your admission depends entirely on where that rank lands you in AACCC counselling for your preferred college and stream.

AIAPGET Stream-Wise Cutoff 2027

AIAPGET covers five AYUSH streams. Each stream has its own qualifying merit list. The AACCC admission closing rank varies by stream because the number of candidates and available seats differs sharply across streams.

The qualifying percentile is the same across all five streams. The difference in competition comes from the applicant-to-seat ratio. Ayurveda attracts the largest candidate pool relative to available seats. Yoga & Naturopathy and Siddha have far fewer candidates per seat, making the AACCC closing ranks in those streams more accessible for qualifying candidates.

AIAPGET Previous Year Cutoff Trends

The qualifying percentile for AIAPGET has remained steady across five cycles — 50th for General and 40th for all reserved categories. This stability comes from the CCIM regulatory mandate. What changes each year is the marks score that corresponds to these percentiles, driven by exam difficulty and candidate count.

The approximate qualifying marks at the 50th percentile have moved upward by about 15 to 20 marks between 2020 and 2024. This reflects a gradual rise in overall candidate performance rather than any policy change. The qualifying percentile threshold itself has not shifted. For 2027, the marks threshold will depend on how difficult the paper is — aim for at least 140 out of 300 to stay comfortably above the General qualifying cutoff.

AIAPGET Cutoff for Top AYUSH Colleges

AACCC counselling covers central government AYUSH institutions. These are the most sought-after seats. The closing rank for each institution depends on the stream, specialty, and category. Here are the key central institutions and their approximate admission competitiveness based on previous AACCC counselling data.

Closing ranks above are approximate and based on AACCC previous counselling rounds. Specialty-wise closing ranks within each institution vary further. Check the official AACCC closing rank lists at aaccc.gov.in for year-wise historical data by specialty and category.

AIIA New Delhi and NIA Jaipur are the most sought-after Ayurveda PG institutions. Candidates targeting these need an AIR in the top 300 for the General category based on previous counselling trends.

AIAPGET Cutoff: AACCC Counselling Process

After the AIAPGET result, qualifying candidates must register for AACCC counselling at aaccc.gov.in. AACCC manages seat allocation for central government AYUSH institutions and states that opt in to the centralized process.

• Step 1 – Register on aaccc.gov.in: Pay the counselling registration fee and fill in your personal and academic details.
• Step 2 – Choice filling: Select your preferred institutions and specialties in order of preference. You can list multiple choices.
• Step 3 – Seat allotment: AACCC allots seats based on your AIAPGET rank, category, and choices. Multiple counselling rounds take place — Round 1, Round 2, and often a mop-up round.
• Step 4 – Document verification: Report to the allotted institution with original documents. Verified candidates confirm their seat.
• Step 5 – Admission: Pay the institution fee and complete the admission process as per the college’s schedule.

States like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra run separate state-level AYUSH PG counselling for state-quota seats. If you want a seat in a state AYUSH college under state quota, check the respective state AYUSH department’s counselling schedule separately.
