Did you know that there are more than 50,000 seats offered through NEET for UG degree in traditional medicine, but only 2,720 available through AIAPGET for a PG degree?
Even within a batch, the percentage of students who will successfully get a PG degree is mere 0.05%. This is will be lower if you take into account that unsuccessful UG students write AIAPGET again and again.
