INI CET November 2025 Admissions Close, Capping Another Centralised PG Intake Cycle

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has officially concluded the reporting phase for the first round of the INI CET November 2025 session. This marks a critical milestone for thousands of medical aspirants vying for MD, MS, MCh (6 years), DM (6 years), and MDS seats across India’s premier Institutes of National Importance. As the year ends, the focus shifts toward processing vacant seats and preparing for the second phase of allocation.

Conclusion of Round 1 Reporting and Seat Status

The initial phase of the centralized intake cycle for the January 2026 session reached its peak this December. Candidates who secured allotments in the first round were required to complete their physical reporting and document verification by late December.

• Reporting Deadline: The window for Round 1 seat acceptance and reporting closed on December 24, 2025.
• Seat Forfeiture: Candidates who failed to report or deposit the requisite security amount have forfeited their claims, with those seats now moved to the vacant pool.
• Upgrade Options: Aspirants who chose "Option 2" (Accept and Upgrade) are now automatically considered for the next round based on their original preferences.

Upcoming Counseling Schedule and Vital Timelines

With the primary intake cycle capping off, the administrative focus moves to the remaining vacancies. AIIMS New Delhi has provided a clear roadmap for the subsequent rounds to ensure a smooth transition into the new academic year.
