As of today, both stages here are already complete — the re-exam admit card was released on 29 August 2026, and the actual re-examination took place on 1 September 2026. What’s still pending is the result, for which NTA hasn’t announced a date yet.
This isn’t the regular AIAPGET admit card most candidates were tracking through August. It’s a narrow, specific re-exam limited to 49 candidates whose test got interrupted by a power failure at one Jaipur centre. If you weren’t among those 49, this notice doesn’t apply to you at all — worth clarifying upfront, since “AIAPGET re-exam” headlines can read as though they cover a wider group than they actually do.
What Actually Happened
NTA conducted the regular AIAPGET 2026 exam on 22 August 2026 for 36,979 registered candidates in Shift-I, with 35,837 appearing across 200 centres nationwide. At one specific centre — Shri Satya Sai PG College, Jaipur — 192 candidates sat for the exam, but 49 of them couldn’t complete it because of a power failure partway through the shift.
NTA attributed the disruption to the exam-conducting agency handling that centre, M/s Eduquity Career Technologies Private Limited, and subsequently issued the agency a show-cause notice while suspending its empanelment with immediate effect, pending resolution. Separately, some candidates raised concerns about irregularities at the centre — those concerns have been reported alongside the power-failure incident but haven’t been confirmed by NTA as a distinct finding, so they shouldn’t be conflated with the official reason stated for the re-exam.

Why the Venue Changed
If you’re one of the affected candidates checking your paperwork against what you remember from the original exam day, note that the re-exam wasn’t held at the same centre. Shri Satya Sai PG College — where the power failure occurred — was swapped out for Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women, Jaipur, for the retest. NTA’s notice didn’t frame this as a punitive measure specifically, though it lines up with the broader action taken against the centre’s conducting agency; regardless of the exact reasoning, affected candidates needed to report to the new address, not the original one, and this is exactly the kind of detail worth triple-checking on your admit card rather than assuming from memory.
Timeline: From Original Exam to Re-Exam Result
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| AIAPGET 2026 original exam (Shift-I) | 22 August 2026 |
| Power failure disrupts exam for 49 candidates in Jaipur | 22 August 2026 |
| NTA public notice announcing re-exam | 22 August 2026 |
| Show-cause notice issued to Eduquity; empanelment suspended | 22 August 2026 |
| Re-exam admit card released | 29 August 2026 |
| Re-examination conducted | 1 September 2026, 10:00 AM |
| Result | Not yet announced |
Notice how quickly NTA moved between the disruption and the announcement — both happened on the same day, 22 August. That’s a reasonably fast turnaround for a centre-level incident of this kind, and it’s worth knowing for future reference if you’re ever caught in a similar situation at any NTA-conducted exam: a same-day public notice with a rough resolution timeline appears to be the standard NTA response, not an exception made for this case specifically.
How the Admit Card Was Downloaded
For the affected candidates, the process ran through the same portal as the regular admit card:
- Visit the official AIAPGET portal at exams.nta.ac.in/AIAPGET or aiapget.nta.nic.in.
- Locate the ‘AIAPGET – 2026 Admit Card’ link under the Candidate Activity section.
- Log in using Application Number, Password, and Security Pin.
- Download and print the admit card, checking the venue address carefully against the changed Jaipur centre.
NTA’s notice specified that candidates needed to carry a printed copy of this admit card along with the other documents listed on it, and had to report by the specified reporting time on 1 September — standard NTA exam-day requirements, applied here to a single-day, single-centre retest.
A Useful Distinction for Future NTA Exams
This case is a clean example of something that trips candidates up across nearly every NTA-conducted exam, not just AIAPGET: a centre-specific technical disruption doesn’t trigger a re-exam for the entire exam or even the entire shift — only for the specific candidates directly affected. Out of 35,837 candidates who appeared nationwide in that shift, only 49 — all from one centre — were asked to retake anything. If you appeared at a different centre that day and completed your exam without issue, this notice has no bearing on your candidature at all, even though “AIAPGET Re-Exam” as a headline might suggest something broader happened.
What’s Still Unconfirmed
NTA hasn’t announced a result date for either the original AIAPGET 2026 exam or this narrow re-exam segment. Given that the re-exam covered only 49 candidates, it’s reasonable to expect their scores get merged into the main AIAPGET 2026 result rather than announced separately — but that’s an inference based on how NTA has typically handled small-scale re-exams in the past, not a confirmed detail from this specific notice. Treat it as likely, not certain, until NTA states it directly.

FAQs
Q1. I appeared for AIAPGET 2026 at a different centre. Does this re-exam notice affect me?
No. This re-exam applies only to the 49 candidates who were at Shri Satya Sai PG College, Jaipur, and couldn’t complete their test due to the power failure. If you appeared elsewhere and finished normally, this notice doesn’t concern your candidature.
Q2. Why did the re-exam happen at a different venue than the original exam?
The original centre, Shri Satya Sai PG College, was where the power failure occurred, and NTA subsequently suspended the conducting agency’s empanelment. The re-exam was shifted to Rajasthan College of Engineering for Women, Jaipur, instead.
Q3. Will my re-exam score be announced separately from the main AIAPGET 2026 result?
Not officially confirmed either way. Based on how NTA typically handles small, centre-specific re-exams, scores are usually merged into the main result rather than published separately, but NTA hasn’t stated this explicitly for this case.
Q4. I heard about allegations of irregularities at the Jaipur centre beyond the power failure. Is that confirmed?
Some candidates raised separate concerns that have been reported in the media alongside the power-failure incident. NTA’s official action — the show-cause notice and suspension of the conducting agency’s empanelment — was tied to the power failure and centre-conduct lapses; any further allegations reported separately haven’t been confirmed as an official NTA finding.

The result date for both the original exam and this re-exam segment remains unannounced as of 6 September 2026 — check the official source for updates: exams.nta.ac.in/AIAPGET.
