AIAPGET 2026 is underway today, August 22, with two shifts across centres nationwide. Many candidates face last‑minute admit card glitches, reporting confusion, and document checks. Use this quick guide to avoid denial at entry and save minutes. Keep stress low for you and your parents.
Morning paper runs 10 am to 12 pm. Afternoon slot is 3 pm to 5 pm. Plan to reach the centre at least 90 minutes early for verification and biometrics. Delays from traffic, parking, or security queues can escalate fast on city routes.

Print your admit card clearly, with photo, signature, and barcode visible. Carry a spare print in case ink fades or paper tears. If the portal stalls, switch browser or device, clear cache. Use only the official portal and helpline listed on your admit card.
Reporting generally begins 90 minutes before the shift, with frisking soon after. Reach by the first half of the window to avoid biometric rush. Keep documents ready in hand; do not unpack stationery until seating is confirmed. See the quick planning table below.
| Shift | Exam time | Reporting starts | Recommended reach by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | 10:00 am–12:00 pm | 8:30 am | 9:00 am |
| Afternoon | 3:00 pm–5:00 pm | 1:30 pm | 2:00 pm |
Carry a printed admit card, an original government photo ID, and two recent passport photos. Acceptable IDs include Aadhaar, Passport, Driving Licence, Voter ID, or PAN. If name, photo, or signature differs, inform the supervisor immediately and request verification. Carry supporting ID proofs that establish continuity between records.
Only carry admit card, ID, photos, and essential medication without packaging. Electronics, smartwatches, calculators, metallic accessories, and study material are banned. Prefer light, simple clothing without big pockets; avoid jewellery, metal hairpins, and heavy shoes. Use a transparent folder for documents; keep water outside unless instructed.
Running late? Still reach the gate and contact the helpdesk staff calmly and clearly. Minor misprints can often be resolved with written undertakings at the centre. If unwell, carry basic medical proof and necessary medicines, and prioritise safety.
The simplest way to clear entry today is preparation, punctuality, and minimal baggage. Keep your admit card, ID, and photos accessible, follow reporting windows, and respect centre rules. Small discipline now protects your attempt and keeps options open for counselling and post‑result planning.
