The AIAPGET correction window 2026 closes on August 2, 2026, at 11:50 PM. Registered candidates can make one correction submission in the fields permitted by the National Testing Agency. Once the corrected form is submitted, it is frozen and cannot be routinely reopened.
Candidates should verify subject, examination city, category, PwBD status, qualification details, date of birth, gender, signature and other editable particulars before pressing the final submit button.

AIAPGET correction window 2026: direct answer
The correction facility is available only to candidates who already submitted an AIAPGET 2026 application. It is not a reopening of new registrations.
Candidates may edit only the fields allowed under the official correction notice. After the correction is submitted and any applicable additional fee is paid, the form becomes final and frozen.
Do not rely only on a news headline or Google summary. Some secondary pages simplify the editable-field rules. Candidates should compare their application against the official NTA notice and the fields enabled inside the live correction portal.
What is the AIAPGET correction deadline?
The National Testing Agency opened the AIAPGET correction facility on August 1, 2026. It closes on August 2, 2026, at 11:50 PM.
NTA states that no further correction request will be entertained after the deadline under ordinary circumstances.

Which AIAPGET fields cannot be changed?
The official correction framework does not permit candidates to change every application field.
| Application field | Correction position | What candidates should know |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile number | Cannot be changed | The registered mobile number remains locked during correction. |
| Email address | Cannot be changed | The registered email address remains locked. |
| Permanent address | Cannot be changed | The permanent-address field is not available for correction. |
| Present address | Cannot be changed | The present-address field is not available for correction. |
Important: Candidates should keep access to the registered email address and mobile number because NTA may use them for examination communication and account recovery.
Which name fields can be corrected?
The correction rules permit a candidate to change only one of the following three name fields:
- candidate’s name;
- father’s name;
- mother’s name.
This does not mean all three name fields can be changed together. Candidates should identify the single incorrect field before submitting the correction.
One-name-field restriction: Do not attempt speculative changes across several name fields. Match the corrected entry with the supporting identity or academic document.
Which AIAPGET fields can be corrected?
According to the official correction notice, candidates may correct the following fields where applicable:
| Field | Correction allowed? | Important condition |
|---|---|---|
| Signature image | Yes | Upload a clear image that meets the portal requirements. |
| Class 10 or equivalent details | Yes | Match the information with the Class 10 certificate or mark sheet. |
| Class 12 or equivalent details | Yes | Check board, year, roll details and other enabled particulars. |
| Graduation details | Yes | Verify degree, institution, completion and marks-related entries shown in the portal. |
| Date of birth | Yes | Use the date supported by the relevant official document. |
| Gender | Yes | Review the final preview before submission. |
| Category | Yes | A change may affect the applicable application fee. |
| Sub-category or PwBD | Conditionally | Correction is available where the status has not been verified through the UDID portal. |
| Identity proof | Conditionally | Available only to candidates who registered using identity proof other than Aadhaar. |
| Examination city preferences | Yes | The final allotment remains subject to NTA’s process and availability. |
| Subject | Yes | The official notice states that the subject-edit option is available during the correction period. |
Can candidates change their AIAPGET subject?
Yes. The official notice states that the option to edit the subject is available during the correction period.
Candidates should confirm that the corrected subject matches the examination they intend to take and the eligibility requirements applicable to their qualification.
After changing the subject, review the final application preview instead of assuming that saving the field completes the correction.
Can candidates change their examination city?
Yes. Candidates may change their examination-city preferences during the correction window.
This is a change to the candidate’s preference, not a guarantee that NTA will allot the exact city selected. Candidates should preserve the corrected confirmation page and later verify the city-intimation slip when NTA releases it.
Does a category or PwBD correction require an extra fee?
It can. NTA states that when a change in category or PwBD affects the application fee, the candidate will be charged the applicable excess amount.
- If the revised category increases the fee, the additional amount must be paid.
- The final correction becomes applicable only after the required additional payment is completed.
- NTA states that excess payment already made will not be refunded.
Payment warning: Editing a category field alone may not complete the correction. Check whether the portal displays a pending fee and confirm that the transaction succeeds before 11:50 PM.
What does “the form shall be frozen” mean?
The correction facility can be used only once. After candidates submit the corrected particulars, the application becomes frozen.
In practical terms:
- the submitted correction cannot ordinarily be edited again;
- saving information may not be the same as final submission;
- the final preview should be checked before confirmation;
- any applicable fee must be paid for the correction to take effect;
- the confirmation page should be downloaded and preserved.
How to complete the AIAPGET correction form
Use the NTA-operated AIAPGET website, not a third-party application link.
This correction facility is only for candidates who already registered.
Check academic certificates, identity proof, category documentation and subject selection.
Mobile number, email address and present or permanent address cannot be changed through this window.
Category or PwBD changes may create an additional payment requirement.
Confirm that the corrected details appear exactly as intended.
A correction affected by an additional fee may not become effective until payment succeeds.
Download the confirmation page, payment receipt and final corrected application.
What should candidates check before freezing the form?
Review these fields in this order:
- Subject: confirm the examination subject selected.
- Examination city preferences: ensure the selected cities are practical.
- Category and PwBD: verify eligibility and any resulting fee.
- Name field: remember that only one among candidate, father or mother name may be changed.
- Date of birth and gender: match the supporting document.
- Class 10, Class 12 and graduation details: compare each entry with certificates.
- Signature image: ensure it is clear and correctly uploaded.
- Identity proof: use the option only where the official condition applies.
- Payment and final confirmation: make sure no transaction or submission remains incomplete.
What if the correction fee payment fails?
The notice confirms that an additional fee may be required, but it does not explain whether a payment initiated before 11:50 PM and completed after the deadline will be accepted.
A candidate facing a failed transaction should:
- avoid repeatedly paying without checking transaction status;
- save the transaction ID and screenshot;
- check whether the correction page shows payment as successful;
- contact the NTA helpdesk before the deadline where possible.
The official notice lists the NTA helpdesk numbers as 011-40759000 and 011-69227700, and the AIAPGET email address as aiapget@nta.ac.in.
Will NTA extend the correction deadline?
No extension was confirmed in the material reviewed for this article. Candidates should act on the published deadline of August 2, 2026, at 11:50 PM.
Do not postpone correction because of social-media claims or an expectation that NTA will reopen the portal.
Why Google results can cause confusion
Google’s current results correctly surface the deadline, one-time correction rule, subject-edit option and possible additional fee. However, several result snippets summarise the permitted fields differently.
The official NTA notice should therefore control the article’s field-level guidance. The most important distinctions are:
- not every application field is editable;
- mobile number, email and addresses remain locked;
- only one of the three name fields can be changed;
- PwBD and identity-proof corrections carry specific conditions;
- the form freezes after the single correction submission.

That article explains why a submitted application is not automatically the same as a reopened, verified or approved application.
