INI CET 2026 Online Registration: Check Updates

Attention Medical Aspirants The INI CET 2026 January Session application correction window is now open but closing rapidly. Candidates must log in immediately to check their registration status and correct rejected images (photo, signature, thumb impression) or other inaccurate basic registration details. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has mandated the absolute final deadline of October 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM for all corrections. Failure to rectify errors will lead to the outright rejection of your application, jeopardizing your chance at admission to prestigious institutes like AIIMS and JIPMER. Act fast to secure your eligibility .

The clock is ticking for all medical graduates aspiring to secure a seat in MD, MS, M.Ch (6 years), DM (6 years), or MDS courses through the Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test (INI CET) 2026 January Session. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, which conducts the exam, opened the critical window for Registration Status Check and Image/Detail Correction on October 24, 2025. With today being the second day, aspirants have less than 48 hours to complete any necessary rectifications before the portal closes permanently.

​The deadline for this crucial step is October 26, 2025, at 5:00 PM. This correction opportunity is often the final hurdle between a valid application and an outright rejection. Candidates who fail to address the specific errors in their uploaded images or basic registration details will find their application summarily dismissed, regardless of having successfully completed the initial registration. Aspirants are strongly urged to log in to the official AIIMS Examinations website immediately and treat this correction window as a non-negotiable step to maintain their eligibility for the November 9, 2025, examination.

​ Mandatory Action: Checking Status and Correcting Images

​The purpose of the current window is highly specific: to allow candidates whose applications were flagged due to technical or clerical errors in the initial "Basic Registration" phase to make corrections. Candidates must understand that a rejected image or an unverified detail means the application is currently ineligible.

• ​Steps to Verify and Rectify:
  • ​Log In Immediately: Visit the official AIIMS exam portal (aiimsexams.ac.in) and log in using your registered credentials (Registration ID, EUC, and Password).
  • ​Check Status: Navigate to the "Registration Status" link. If your status is anything other than 'Accepted,' you will be shown the specific reason for rejection, such as a faulty photograph or incorrect signature.
  • ​Focus on Images: The most common reasons for rejection involve the uploaded Photograph, Signature, or Left Thumb Impression. Candidates must re-upload the correct images strictly following the official technical specifications (size, format, background, clarity).
  • ​Basic Detail Correction: Limited corrections to minor basic registration details that may have been flagged (such as minor spelling errors in name/parent's name/city) are typically permitted during this window.
• ​Key Technical Specifications to Re-Upload Correct Images: 
  • ​Photograph: Must be a recent colour photo with a white background. Face should be clearly visible (no shadows, caps, or goggles). Size should be between 50 KB and 100 KB in JPEG/JPG format.
  • ​Signature: Must be on a white paper using a black or blue ink pen. It should be clear, without overwriting, and not in all capital letters. Size should be between 20 KB and 100 KB.
  • ​Left Thumb Impression: Must be a clear impression of the left thumb on a white paper using a blue/black ink pad. Size should be between 20 KB and 100 KB.

​ Avoiding Rejection: Why the Image Correction is Crucial

​The AIIMS application process is notoriously meticulous, and any deviation from the image specifications is viewed seriously. Aspirants must treat the instructions as a technical checklist, as a rejected application at this stage means a wasted attempt for the January 2026 session.

• ​Common Image Rejection Reasons:
  • ​Blurred/Unclear Images: The uploaded image must be sharp. Any sign of pixelation or blurring, especially in the facial features or signature lines, leads to rejection.
  • ​Incorrect Background: Photos not taken against a white background are automatically rejected.
  • ​Size and Dimension Mismatch: Failure to adhere to the specified file size (KB) or dimensions (pixels) will cause the upload to fail validation.
  • ​Incomplete or Incorrect Impression: Thumb impressions that are too faint, smudged, or are the right thumb impression instead of the left will be rejected.
• ​Impact on Admit Card: The system’s final check for application acceptance is directly linked to the verification of these images and details. Only applications with an 'Accepted' status after October 26 will proceed to the next stage, which is the Final Status of Registration and uploading of the Admit Card on November 1, 2025. Any candidate who fails to make corrections will not have their Admit Card issued, and thus, will be barred from taking the exam on November 9, 2025.
