• Document Submission: The same window (Jan 10–15) applies for the physical reporting and submission of original certificates at the respective allotted Institutes of National Importance (INIs).
• Mandatory Action: Failure to accept the seat or report within the specified Period will lead to the forfeiture of the seat and potential debarment from the regular Selection rounds.

Critical Guidelines for Reporting and Verification

As the Second Round is often the final regular round before the open vacancy phase, the verification process is rigorous. The Selection of candidates is provisional until all academic and category credentials are authenticated.

• Security Deposit: Candidates reporting for the first time in the Second Round are required to deposit a security amount or submit their original documents as per the AIIMS guidelines.
• Category Validity: For those in the OBC/EWS categories, the validity of certificates issued within the specific cut-off dates will be checked during the reporting Period.
• Upgrade Status: Candidates who opted for an upgrade after Round 1 and receive a new Allotment tomorrow must ensure they obtain a "Relieving Letter" from their previous institute to complete the new admission.
• Branch Finality: Given the competitive nature of this session, the Specialty allocated in this round is generally considered final, with limited scope for further changes until the stray vacancy announcement.

Conclusion

The release of the INI CET Round 2 results tomorrow serves as a defining moment for the January 2026 academic Period. Candidates are advised to keep their login credentials ready to access the portal as soon as the Second Round PDF is uploaded. With the reporting window starting Saturday, January 10, preparing the necessary documentation today will ensure a smooth Allotment transition. As the centralized Selection process concludes this phase, the focus will soon shift to the academic commencement across AIIMS and other participating institutes.
