This crucial step allows candidates to gauge their chances for admission into top postgraduate programs like MD, MS, DM, MCh, and MDS across prestigious Institutes of National Importance (INIs) including AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER, NIMHANS, and SCTIMST.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, the conducting body for the Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test (INI CET), is scheduled to release the Mock Round Seat Allocation Result for the January 2026 session on December 11, 2025. This announcement is highly anticipated by over 32,000 qualified candidates aspiring for admission into postgraduate medical and dental courses at premier institutions across India. This mock allotment is a vital, non-binding exercise designed to provide candidates with a realistic estimate of the seat they may secure based on their rank and the preferences they have entered. It serves as a crucial feedback mechanism before the final choice filling for Round 1 commences.

The allocation process covers a wide range of specialized courses, including MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), MCh (Magister Chirurgiae) (6-year), DM (Doctorate of Medicine) (6-year), and MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) across all participating Institutes of National Importance (INIs). Candidates who participated in the mock choice filling from December 6 to December 9, 2025, must check their allotment status on the official AIIMS counselling portal, aiimsexams.ac.in.
