Understanding the INI CET Counselling Process

The INI CET Counselling process is comprehensive, designed to facilitate fair and transparent PG Medical Admission. Candidates must be well-versed with each step to navigate the allocation effectively.

• Online Registration and Choice Filling: Eligible candidates must register on the AIIMS portal aiimsexams.ac.in using their INI CET credentials. Following registration, they can proceed to fill in their choices for institutes and specialities (MD/MS/MDS/DM/M.Ch) in their order of preference. The mock round allows candidates to get a sense of potential seat allotments and adjust their preferences for the actual first round. It is advisable to fill as many choices as possible to increase the chances of allotment.
• Seat Allotment: Seat allocation is based on the candidate's INI CET rank, the preferences filled, category, and the availability of seats. The results are published online, and candidates can view their provisional allotment letters.
• Acceptance of Seat: Upon seat allotment, candidates are given two options:
  1. Accept Allotted Seat and Do Not Wish to Participate in Further Rounds: Candidates are satisfied with the allocated seat and complete the admission formalities.
  2. Accept Allotted Seat and Wish to Participate in Further Rounds (Upgrade): Candidates accept the seat but are willing to participate in subsequent rounds for a potential upgrade to a higher preferred choice. If an upgraded seat is allotted, the previously held seat is automatically forfeited.
• Document Verification & Reporting: This is a mandatory step for all candidates who accept an allotted seat. They must report to the assigned institute with original documents and a security deposit (if applicable) for verification and to complete the admission formalities. Failing to report or submit required documents within the stipulated time will result in forfeiture of the seat.

AIIMS also conducts Open Rounds (Mop-Up Rounds) and Spot Admissions if seats remain vacant after the initial rounds. Separate notifications for these rounds are released on aiimsexams.ac.in.
