INI-SS January 2027 Addendum: General Seats Revised in Three Programmes

Which Details Should INI-SS January 2027 Candidates Check?
Candidates participating in the INI-SS January 2027 admission process should carefully examine the final seat matrix and accompanying addendum.
The important details to verify include:
- Preferred DM or MCh speciality.
- Participating institution offering the programme.
- General category seat availability.
- Sponsored category seat availability.
- Revised seat numbers mentioned in the addendum.

INI-SS January 2027 Seat Matrix: Important Clarification
The final seat matrix represents the available seat position for the forthcoming allocation process. It does not confirm admission or guarantee a seat to any individual candidate. The additional changes mentioned in the addendum should also be interpreted as revisions to the existing seat position, not as separate vacancies to be added again to the reported total of 1,015 seats. Therefore, candidates should use the final updated speciality-wise tables when reviewing seat availability.
