• ​Visit the Official Portal: Navigate to the official website of the AIIMS Examination Section: aiimsexams.ac.in. Look for the dedicated link for 'Academic Courses.'
• ​Locate the INI CET Link: On the subsequent page, find and click on the specific link for the INI-CET (MD/MS/M.Ch/DM/MDS) January 2026 session. This link is usually prominently displayed under the latest announcements or candidate section.
• ​Candidate Login: You will be redirected to the applicant login page. Here, you must accurately enter your Candidate ID, Password, and the visible Captcha Code.
• ​Access the Admit Card: After a successful login, your INI CET Hall Ticket 2025 will be displayed on the screen. Crucially, review all the details—Name, Date of Birth, Photograph, Signature, Exam Date (Nov 9, 2025), and most importantly, the Exam Centre Name and Address.
• ​Download and Print: Download the admit card PDF and take at least two clear printouts. It is highly recommended to take a color printout for better visibility of your photograph and signature. Keep one copy as a backup.

​Note: In case of any discrepancy in the details mentioned on the admit card, candidates must immediately contact the AIIMS Examination Section for rectification well before the exam date. Do not wait until the last moment.

 Mandatory Exam Day Instructions for November 9th

​The INI CET exam on November 9, 2025, is a high-stakes event, and adherence to the guidelines is essential for a smooth experience. Aspirants must strictly comply with the following mandatory instructions:

• ​Required Documents: Candidates must carry the following to the test centre: 
  • ​A printed copy of the downloaded INI CET Hall Ticket 2025.
  • ​One original, valid photo identification proof (e.g., Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID, Driving License).
  • ​A photocopy of the photo ID proof may also be required.
• ​Reporting Time: Arrive at the examination centre at least one hour before the gate closing time mentioned on your admit card. Latecomers will not be permitted under any circumstances, which can be particularly stressful given the reports of distant exam centres for some candidates. Plan your travel logistics carefully, especially if the centre is far from your location.
• ​Prohibited Items: Strictly avoid carrying any prohibited items into the examination venue. This includes: 
  • ​Electronic devices like mobile phones, smartwatches, pagers, or calculators.
  • ​Study material, papers, or books.
  • ​Jewellery, metallic items, or any other unauthorized accessories. The venue will have tight security checks, and any violation can lead to immediate disqualification.
• ​COVID-19/Health Protocol: Follow any prevailing health and safety protocols (like wearing a mask, social distancing) mandated by the authorities. The instructions will be clearly printed on the hall ticket.

​ Last-Minute High-Yield INI CET Preparation Strategy

​With the exam clock ticking down to November 9th, a strategic, focused approach is vital. The final days should be dedicated to consolidating your knowledge and building exam temperament for the 3-hour, 200-question CBT, which features a negative marking of -⅓.

• ​Focused Revision of High-Yield Topics: Do not start new topics now. Concentrate on the most repeatedly asked and high-weightage subjects like Medicine, Surgery, Pathology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Pharmacology. Use your concise, short notes for quick review.
• ​Image-Based & Clinical Questions: A significant portion of the INI CET paper comprises image-based and clinical scenario-based questions. Dedicate specific time slots to revise important images from Anatomy, Pathology, Radiology, Dermatology, and Ophthalmology, and quickly go through clinical case discussions.
• ​Mock Tests & Mistake Analysis: Attempt at least one final full-length mock test under strict examination conditions to simulate the real environment. More importantly, spend dedicated time analyzing your mistakes to avoid repeating them in the actual exam. Focus on your weakest areas identified in the mock tests.
• ​Prioritize Rest and Mental Calmness: Burnout is detrimental. Ensure you are getting adequate sleep (7-8 hours) and maintaining a healthy diet. Stay calm, hydrated, and confident. A well-rested mind performs better than an exhausted one. Trust the preparation you have put in over the months.
