A.Atma Thathuvam
B.Vidya Thathuvam
C.Siva Thathuvam
D.Purusha Thathuvam
Explanation: Andhakaranam (comprising Manam, Buddhi, Ahankaram, and Chittam) represents the inner instruments of the soul and falls under the 24 Atma Thathuvam. These faculties govern mental processes, decision-making, ego, and memory storage.
2In the Siddha diagnostic method En-vagai Thervu, what is the clinical significance of a urine oil-drop test (Neikyuri) where the oil drop spreads rapidly like a snake (paambu) across the urine surface?
A.Indicates dominant Kabam humor
B.Indicates dominant Vatham humor
C.Indicates dominant Pitham humor
D.Indicates healthy digestion and equilibrium of humors
Explanation: In Neikyuri (urine oil drop test), when the drop of sesame oil spreads swiftly like a snake (paambu) gliding across the urine surface, it indicates the dominance of the Vatham (Vali) humor. This reflects the dry, light, and mobile qualities of the wind element associated with Vatham.
3Which of the following represents the correct number of Siva Thathuvam according to Siddha cosmological principles?
A.5
B.7
C.24
D.36
Explanation: The Siva Thathuvam are 5 in number: Sivam, Sakthi, Sadhasivam, Easwaram, and Suddhavidhai. They represent pure consciousness and the highest spiritual levels in the 96 Thathuvam classification.
4In En-vagai Thervu, when performing Neikyuri (oil drop test), if the oil drop spreads to form a ring (mothiram/valaiyal) shape, it represents which humor?
A.Vatham
B.Pitham
C.Kabam
D.Sonneer
Explanation: A ring-like spread (mothiram/valaiyal) of the sesame oil drop on the urine surface signifies Pitha dominance. This reflects the hot, sharp, and expanding qualities of the fire element that dominates Pitham.
5Which of the ten major energy channels (Dasa Naadi) begins at the right big toe and terminates at the left nostril?
A.Idakalai
B.Pingalai
C.Suzhumunai
D.Gandhari
Explanation: According to traditional Siddha physiological texts, Idakalai (Ida Nadi) starts from the right big toe, travels through the body, and terminates at the left nostril. It is associated with the cooling lunar energy (Chandra Mandalam).
6In Neikyuri (oil drop test), when the oil drop stays as the shape of a pearl (muthu), it is indicative of which dominant humor?
A.Pitham
B.Vatham
C.Kabam
D.Vatha-Kabam
Explanation: In the classical Neikyuri diagnostic test, if the oil drop stays like a pearl (muthu), it indicates a Kaba (Iyam)-dominant state. This reflects the heavy, dense, and stable qualities of the earth and water elements associated with Kabam.
7According to the 96 Thathuvam in Siddha philosophy, which of the following is categorized under the five sensory organs of perception (Porigal)?
A.Mey (Skin)
B.Vaai (Speech)

D.Kaal (Feet)
Explanation: Mey (skin/touch) is one of the five Porigal (sensory organs), along with Vaai (mouth/taste), Kan (eyes/sight), Mookku (nose/smell), and Sevi (ears/hearing). The Porigal are the physical structures through which perception occurs.
8Under the 96 Thathuvam classification, how many Kanmendhriyangal (motor organs) are recognized?
A.5

9In the Siddha 96 Thathuvam system, the 24 Atma Thathuvam exclude which of the following groups?
A.Vidya Thathuvam
B.Panchamahabhuta
C.Gnanendhriyangal

Explanation: The 24 Atma Thathuvam consist of the 5 elements (Bhoothangal), 5 sense organs (Gnanendhriyangal), 5 motor organs (Kanmendhriyangal), 5 sense objects (Tanmatraigal), and 4 inner faculties (Andhakaranam). Vidya Thathuvam is a separate category of 7 cosmic/spiritual principles, making it excluded from the 24 Atma Thathuvam.
10Which of the following groups constitutes the three impurities (Malam) that bind the soul according to Siddha Saiva Siddhanta philosophy?
A.Aanavam, Kanmam, Maayai
B.Vatham, Pitham, Kabam
C.Eshanai, Ragam, Vinai
D.Saaram, Senneer, Oon

AIAPGET Siddha Study Tips from Top Performers

1Revise the 96 Thathuvam classifications thoroughly: Atma, Vidya, Siva, and their divisions constitute key scoring areas in fundamental principles.
2Focus intensely on Gunapadam: Memorize the Suddhi (purification) processes for minerals, toxic metals, and herbs like Serankottai, and learn standard dosages of Kudineer and Chendooram.
3Master pulse (Naadi) diagnosis and urine oil-drop tests (Neikyuri): These diagnostic paradigms are core components of Noi Naadal.
4Understand the landmarks and names of the 108 Varmam points: Direct questions on Varmam types (Paduvarmam vs. Thoduvarmam) and locations are common.
5Solve previous years' AIAPGET Siddha papers: This helps in understanding how classical Tamil medical terms are transliterated and matched in English.
6Monitor updates on exams.nta.nic.in/aiapget for scheduling, admit cards, and counselling lists by AACCC.
