INI CET Jan 2026 Seat Confirmation Lists Released by AIIMS

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi has finalized the Round 2 seat allocation for the INI CET January 2026 session. Medical postgraduates who participated in the second round of counselling can now access the seat confirmation lists and allotment results via the official examination portal. The current phase requires all successfully allotted candidates to complete their online acceptance and report to their respective institutes for document verification. The deadline for reporting and the submission of original certificates is set for mid-January, following which any vacant seats will be moved to the open round.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, is concluding the final administrative steps for the INI CET January 2026 counselling cycle. Following the release of the Round 2 seat allotment results on January 9, the portal has remained active for candidates to exercise their acceptance options. The official seat confirmation lists, which provide a consolidated view of the final admissions after the second round, are currently being processed for publication.

According to the official schedule, candidates who were allotted seats in the second round had until January 15, 2026, to report to their designated institutes. The current period involves the verification of reported data from various AIIMS campuses and other Institutes of National Importance to identify any remaining vacancies.

1. Post-Allotment Procedures and Reporting Status

With the Round 2 reporting window having closed earlier this week, the counselling authority is now verifying the attendance of thousands of medical professionals. The seat confirmation lists will serve as the final record for the second phase of admission.

• Mandatory Reporting: Candidates were required to report to their allotted institutes by January 15 with original certificates or a security deposit.
• Option Selection: Allotted students had the choice to "Accept and Freeze" their seats, effectively ending their participation in the regular rounds of the 2026 session.
• Penalty Clause: Officials have reiterated that failure to report after accepting a seat leads to the forfeiture of the security deposit and a penalty of ₹3,00,000.

2. Eligibility for Open Round and Vacancy Assessment

The release of the confirmation lists is a prerequisite for the commencement of the "Open Round" of the INI CET 2026 session. This round aims to fill any seats left vacant due to non-reporting or cancellations during the first two phases of counselling.

• Vacancy Matrix: AIIMS is expected to publish a fresh seat matrix alongside the confirmation lists, detailing the specialty-wise vacancies available across all institutes.
• Fresh Registration: The portal will briefly reopen for the open round, allowing previously unregistered but qualified candidates to apply for the remaining PG medical seats.
• Document Verification: Students participating in the upcoming rounds must ensure their internship completion certificate is dated on or before January 31, 2026.

3. Conclusion

The January 2026 session of the INI CET is moving toward its final stages of centralized admission. As the January 17 milestone passes, the focus remains on the release of the final seat confirmation lists to provide a clear picture of the 2026-27 intake. The schedule established by AIIMS New Delhi has ensured a structured transition for residents entering specialized MD, MS, and MDS programs.
