INI CET exam pattern
The paper has 200 objective-type questions to be completed in 180 minutes. The source notes that questions include single-correct and multiple-correct formats.
Two further details come from secondary sources and should be checked against the AIIMS bulletin:
- Each correct answer is reported to earn one mark, with one-third of a mark deducted for each wrong answer.
- The paper is reported to be split into four blocks of 50 questions, with 45 minutes per block.
Is this “INI CET 2026” or “January 2027 session”?
Both names refer to the same exam. The test takes place in November 2026 and fills seats for the January 2027 academic session. AIIMS’s notice reference carries the label “INI-CET-PG-Jan-27”. Searches for “INI CET Nov 2026” and “INI CET January 2027” lead to the same cycle. pw
