Counselling AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 (officially known as INI-CET Counselling) is the centralised seat allocation process for PG medical admissions conducted by AIIMS New Delhi on behalf of 23 Institutes of National Importance. It covers MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh, and Fellowship seats across 19 AIIMS campuses, JIPMER Puducherry, PGIMER Chandigarh, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and SCTIMST Trivandrum. The INI-CET July 2026 exam was held on May 16, 2026, results were declared on May 23, 2026, and 51,563 students qualified for counselling. Round 1 choice filling and locking closed on June 17, 2026; the Round 1 seat allotment result is expected to be published on aiimsexams.ac.in shortly. Counselling proceeds in four stages: Mock Round (non-binding simulation), Round 1, Round 2, and Open Round (stray vacancy). The entire process — registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and acceptance — is conducted fully online through aiimsexams.ac.in. Students must hold a completed internship certificate and a valid NMC/DCI registration certificate to be eligible for counselling. Seats are distributed under Central Government reservation norms — UR, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, with horizontal quotas for PwBD and Rural Area Service (RAS). Students allotted a seat in Round 1 can choose to Upgrade (float to Round 2 for a better preference), Freeze (accept and exit), or Withdraw (exit counselling) — each option has irreversible consequences.

AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 is the centralised online seat allocation process formally known as INI-CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test) Counselling. AIIMS New Delhi administers this process on behalf of a consortium of 23 Institutes of National Importance — all 19 AIIMS campuses, JIPMER Puducherry, PGIMER Chandigarh, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and SCTIMST Trivandrum. Together, these institutes offer PG seats in MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh, and various Fellowship programmes. Counselling runs in four rounds: a non-binding Mock Round, Round 1, Round 2, and a final Open Round for stray vacancies. Students fill and rank their preferred institute–programme–speciality combinations; the allotment engine assigns each student their best available option on the basis of their INI-CET merit rank. All stages — registration, choice filling, allotment, fee payment, and seat acceptance — happen online at aiimsexams.ac.in. Only final reporting requires physical presence at the allotted institute. Registering for counselling is mandatory — your INI-CET rank alone does not guarantee a seat. Students who do not register within the prescribed window for a given round lose their chance for that round entirely.

AIIMS specifies a cut-off date by which internship must be completed for participation in each round. Reservation of Quotas for AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 AIIMS PG (INI-CET) counselling follows Central Government reservation policy. All seats across the 23 participating institutes are distributed under the vertical and horizontal reservation categories described below. There is no home-state or domicile quota — all seats are offered on an all-India basis. Category Reservation Type Key Condition Unreserved (UR / Open Merit) 40.5% Vertical Open to all qualifying students Other Backward Classes – Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) 27% Vertical Valid OBC-NCL certificate from a competent authority; issued on or after April 1, 2026 Scheduled Caste (SC) 15% Vertical Caste certificate from competent authority of the state of origin Scheduled Tribe (ST) 7.5% Vertical Tribe certificate from competent authority of the state of origin Economically Weaker Section (EWS) 10% Vertical EWS income and asset certificate for financial year 2025–26 Persons with Benchmark Disability (PwBD) 5% (horizontal) Horizontal — applied within each vertical category Disability ≥ 40%, certified by a Notified Medical Board; minimum 70% benchmark required for certain specialities Rural Area Service (RAS) 5% (horizontal) Horizontal — applied within each vertical category Documentary proof of service in a notified rural/remote area; as per AIIMS notification Horizontal reservations (PwBD and RAS) are carved out from within each vertical category’s seat pool — they are not additional seats on top of the vertical total. For example, 5% of OBC-NCL seats are reserved for OBC-NCL students who also qualify under PwBD. JIPMER Puducherry applies a dynamic roster allocation that may produce slightly different category-wise seat distributions; the final seat matrix is published on the official portal before each round. OBC-NCL students must submit a non-creamy-layer certificate issued on or after April 1, 2026 — older certificates are not accepted even if otherwise valid. How to Apply for AIIMS PG Counselling 2026? The AIIMS PG counselling application process is entirely online. There are five sequential stages from registration to final seat acceptance. Each stage has a hard deadline — missing the window for one stage means you cannot proceed to the next in that round. Step 1: Register on the Official Portal Visit aiimsexams.ac.in and navigate to the INI-CET July 2026 Counselling section. Log in using your INI-CET roll number and the password you set during the exam application. Complete or update your personal and academic details as prompted. Ensure your registered mobile number and email ID are active — AIIMS sends all counselling alerts (allotment notices, deadline reminders) through these channels. Step 2: Pay Any Required Fee AIIMS does not levy a separate fee for counselling registration or choice filling — those stages are free. A seat acceptance fee becomes payable only after you receive a seat allotment and choose to accept it. The exact amount and payment deadline are published in the allotment notification for each round. Payment must be completed online through the portal’s payment gateway within the specified window; late payments are not accepted. Step 3: Choice Filling After registering, open the Choice Filling module on your counselling dashboard. Add every institute–programme–speciality combination you are willing to join, arranged in your exact order of preference. Fill at least 15–20 choices to maximise your chances across all rounds. The allotment engine assigns you the best available option from your locked preference list strictly on the basis of your INI-CET merit rank — if you receive your fifth preference, it means all four higher preferences were occupied by students with better ranks. Step 4: Lock Your Choices Before the choice filling window closes, you must click "Lock Choices" to submit your preference list for allotment. Saved but unlocked choices are not processed. Once locked, no changes are permitted. Review your final preference list carefully before locking — you cannot edit choices after the window closes. For Round 1, the locking window closed on June 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Step 5: Accept Seat and Report to Institute After the allotment result is declared, log in to view your allotted seat. You must take one of three actions within the stipulated deadline: Accept and Freeze (join the seat, exit counselling), Accept and Upgrade (hold seat and compete for a better option in Round 2), or Withdraw (exit counselling entirely). If you accept, pay the seat acceptance fee online, download your allotment letter, and report physically to the allotted institute with original documents on the scheduled reporting date. Students who neither accept nor withdraw by the deadline forfeit their allotted seat. How to Lock Choices in AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 (Step-by-Step Guide) Use the steps below to correctly fill and lock your choices in the AIIMS PG (INI-CET) counselling portal. These steps apply to every round — Mock, Round 1, Round 2, and Open Round. Step 1: Visit the Official Portal Open a browser and go to aiimsexams.ac.in. Click on the "INI-CET July 2026 Counselling" link from the homepage or notification section. Step 2: Log In to Your Account Enter your INI-CET roll number and password. Complete the CAPTCHA verification and click Login. If you have forgotten your password, use the Forgot Password option with your registered email ID. Step 3: Open the Choice Filling Module From your counselling dashboard, click "Choice Filling". A searchable list of all available institute–programme–speciality combinations for the current round will appear. Step 4: Add and Rank Your Choices Use the search filters (institute, programme type, speciality, category) to find the combinations you want. Click "Add to Choices" for each combination you are willing to accept. Use the drag-and-drop reordering tool or the up/down arrow buttons to arrange them from most preferred (top) to least preferred (bottom). Include both aspirational preferences and realistic safety options in your list. Step 5: Save and Preview Click "Save Choices" periodically to avoid losing progress. Use the "Preview" button to review the complete ordered list before finalising. Verify every entry — check the institute name, programme type, speciality name, and category carefully. Step 6: Lock Choices Before the Deadline Once you are satisfied with your preference order, click "Lock Choices". A confirmation dialogue will appear summarising your locked list — read it carefully. Click "Confirm Lock". Your choices are now finalised and cannot be changed. Once confirmed, your locked preferences are submitted to the allotment engine. If you do not lock before the deadline, the portal’s behaviour (auto-lock or discard) depends on the specific round’s rules as stated in the AIIMS notice — always lock manually before the cutoff time. Action What It Does Reversible? Adding a choice Adds an institute–programme–speciality combo to your list Yes — removable until the window closes Reordering choices Changes the priority ranking of your selections Yes — editable until the window closes Saving choices Stores current state; does NOT submit for allotment Yes — saving is not locking Locking choices Submits your preference list for allotment processing No — permanent after you click Confirm AIIMS PG Counselling Documents Required 2026 Prepare original documents and self-attested photocopies of each item listed below.

How Much Money is Needed for AIIMS PG Counselling 2026? AIIMS PG (INI-CET) counselling does not charge a separate fee for registration or choice filling. Financial obligations arise only after you receive and accept a seat allotment. Costs fall into two categories: a non-refundable processing component and a refundable security deposit. The binding amounts for 2026 will be published in the official allotment notification for each round — the figures below are based on historical practice and are indicative only. Non-Refundable Fee The INI-CET exam registration fee (already paid at the application stage) was ₹4,000 for General/OBC/Foreign Nationals and ₹3,200 for SC/ST/EWS students — this was a one-time payment and does not affect counselling. No additional non-refundable fee is charged purely for counselling participation. However, the seat acceptance fee (payable on accepting an allotted seat) may include a processing component that is not refunded if you later withdraw. Fee Component Category Amount Refundable? INI-CET Exam Registration Fee (already paid) General / OBC / Foreign Nationals / OCI ₹4,000 No SC / ST / EWS ₹3,200 No Counselling Registration / Choice Filling Fee All categories Nil N/A Seat Acceptance Processing Fee All categories As per official allotment notification Partially / as notified Refundable Security Deposit Students who accept an allotted seat must pay a refundable security deposit as part of seat confirmation. This amount is held by the institute and refunded when you join (adjusted against the first semester fee) or returned in full if you withdraw within the stipulated deadline. If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded — the refund amount depends on the timing and the specific round’s refund policy published in the official notice. Fee Component Amount (Expected) Refund Condition Security Deposit / Seat Confirmation Deposit As per official allotment notification Refundable on joining (adjusted against semester fee) or on withdrawal within the prescribed deadline First Semester Tuition / Programme Fee at Institute Varies by institute (AIIMS: nominal; JIPMER / PGIMER / NIMHANS: institute-specific) Paid at reporting; refund rules governed by each institute’s policy Note: Always download and read the official allotment notification for each round — it carries the precise, legally binding fee amounts, payment deadlines, and refund conditions for that round. AIIMS PG 2026 Round-Wise Seat Allotment INI-CET July 2026 counselling runs across four allotment rounds. Each round follows the same cycle: choice filling → locking → seat allotment → acceptance and reporting. Seats left vacant after each round roll into the next. The allotment engine assigns each student the best available option from their locked preference list, ranked strictly by INI-CET merit. Round Nature Choice Filling / Locking Allotment Result Reporting Deadline Status Round 1 Main allotment round; upgrade or freeze option available after result June 16–17, 2026 (Closed) To be announced To be announced Allotment Awaited Round 2 Upgrade allotment for Round 1 floaters + fresh seats released by withdrawals To be announced To be announced To be announced Upcoming Open Round (Stray Vacancy) Final binding allotment for all remaining unfilled seats; no upgrades after this round To be announced To be announced To be announced Upcoming Mock Round Non-binding simulation to help students review their preference order before Round 1 Until June 13, 2026 (5:00 PM) June 15, 2026 Not applicable Completed The Mock Round result carries no seat allocation — it is a test run of the allotment engine. Students who found their Mock Round outcome unsatisfactory should have reviewed and reordered their choices before the Round 1 window closed on June 17, 2026. The first binding allotment is Round 1. In the Open Round (also called Stray Vacancy Round), only seats that remain unfilled after Round 2 are offered. Allotment in the Open Round is final and binding — no further upgrades are possible. Reporting to Institute After AIIMS PG 2026 Seat Allotment Accepting a seat online is not the same as joining the institute — you must also physically report by the deadline specified in your allotment letter. Failure to report within the deadline results in automatic cancellation of your seat, even if you have already paid the seat acceptance fee. Follow these steps after your seat allotment is confirmed: Log in to aiimsexams.ac.in and navigate to the "Seat Allotment" section of your counselling dashboard to view your allotted institute, programme, and speciality. Download your allotment letter — this is the official document you must carry to the institute. Accept the seat online by clicking "Accept Seat" within the time window specified in the allotment result notification. Choosing "Freeze" accepts the seat as final; choosing "Upgrade" accepts the seat conditionally while floating you for Round 2. Pay the seat acceptance fee (if applicable) through the online payment gateway before the payment deadline. Collect all original documents listed in the Documents Required section and prepare one set of self-attested photocopies of each. Report to the institute’s PG / Academic Section on the reporting date mentioned in your allotment letter, along with your allotment letter, all originals, and all photocopies. Complete document verification at the institute — the academic office will verify your originals against the uploaded scans from the portal. Submit institute joining forms — hostel application, PG registration form, anti-ragging declaration, and any other forms issued by the institute at the time of reporting. Pay the first-semester fee at the institute’s finance office or through the institute’s online payment system as applicable. Students who wish to participate in Round 2 for an upgrade should not withdraw from their Round 1 seat — choose the "Upgrade" (float) option on the portal instead. This keeps your current seat intact while you compete for a higher preference in Round 2. If a better seat is allotted in Round 2, the current seat is automatically released. Upgrade vs Freeze vs Withdraw in AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 After each allotment round, every student who has received a seat must actively choose one of three options within the response window. The default (no action) is treated as withdrawal at some institutes — always act within the deadline. Option What It Means Effect on Current Seat Effect on Future Rounds Best Suited When Upgrade (Float) You accept the current seat provisionally and want to try for a higher preference in the next round. Held securely — you will not lose it unless a better option is allotted in Round 2. You remain eligible for Round 2 allotment; if a better preference opens up, it is assigned to you and the current seat is released. If not, you keep the current seat. Your current allotment is acceptable but not ideal — you want to try for a better institute or speciality without risking your current seat. Freeze You are completely satisfied with the allotted seat and want to secure it immediately. Confirmed — your seat is locked and no further allotment changes will occur for you. You are removed from Round 2 and Open Round allotment. You must report to the institute by the reporting deadline. Your allotment is exactly what you wanted — no need to take the risk of floating. Withdraw You are giving up the allotted seat and exiting the counselling cycle entirely. Cancelled — the seat is released for other students in the next round. You cannot re-enter any subsequent round of this INI-CET July 2026 counselling cycle. You have secured admission elsewhere and will not be joining any INI-CET institute in this cycle. If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded. The security deposit component may be returned within a specified timeline, but any processing fee paid is typically forfeited. Think carefully before withdrawing — Upgrade is almost always a safer choice than Withdraw if you are undecided. Students who are not allotted a seat in Round 1 are automatically eligible for Round 2 with no additional action required — new seats become available as Round 1 Upgrade students shift to better allotments and Withdraw students free up their seats. FAQs on AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 Ques: What is AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 and who conducts it? Ans: AIIMS PG Counselling 2026 is the centralised PG medical seat allocation process formally called INI-CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test) Counselling. It is conducted by AIIMS New Delhi on behalf of 23 Institutes of National Importance — all 19 AIIMS campuses across India, JIPMER Puducherry, PGIMER Chandigarh, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and SCTIMST Trivandrum. Seats are offered in MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh, and Fellowship programmes. The entire process runs online at aiimsexams.ac.in. Ques: Has the AIIMS PG Round 1 seat allotment result for 2026 been declared? Ans: Round 1 choice filling and locking closed on June 17, 2026. As of June 23, 2026, the Round 1 seat allotment result has not been officially confirmed as declared. The result is expected to be published on aiimsexams.ac.in shortly. Log in to the portal directly to check your allotment status — AIIMS does not proactively send individual emails for result declarations, so check the portal and the official notices section regularly. Ques: How many rounds does AIIMS PG (INI-CET) Counselling 2026 have? Ans: There are four rounds: Mock Round, Round 1, Round 2, and Open Round (Stray Vacancy). The Mock Round — which ran until June 13, 2026 with results on June 15 — is a non-binding simulation with no actual seat allocation. It helps students understand how the allotment engine ranks their preferences. Rounds 1 and 2 are the main binding allotment rounds. The Open Round allocates any seats remaining after Round 2, and its allotment is final — no upgrades are possible after the Open Round. Ques: Is registration mandatory to participate in AIIMS PG counselling? Ans: Yes, registration is mandatory. Qualifying INI-CET July 2026 only makes you eligible for counselling — it does not automatically reserve a seat for you. You must actively log in to aiimsexams.ac.in, complete your counselling registration, fill and lock your choices within the prescribed window, and respond to each round’s allotment. Missing the registration or choice-locking window for a round means you are excluded from that round’s allotment. There are no extensions. Ques: How many choices should I fill in AIIMS PG counselling to maximise my chances? Ans: Fill at least 15–20 choices across different institutes, programmes, and specialities. The allotment engine assigns you the best available option from your locked preference list based on your merit rank. Students who fill only 3–5 highly competitive choices risk going un-allotted even when lower preferences would have been available at their rank. Include your most-wanted preferences at the top and progressively broader safety options below. A longer list always works in your favour — a choice you fill fifteenth can still be your Round 1 allotment if the top fourteen are taken. Ques: What is the difference between Upgrade and Withdraw in AIIMS PG counselling? Ans: Upgrade (also called Float) means you accept your current allotted seat provisionally and remain in the pool for Round 2, hoping for a better preference — your current seat is held as a safety net. If something better opens in Round 2, it is allotted to you and your current seat is released; otherwise, you keep your current seat. Withdraw means you give up your allotted seat entirely and exit the counselling cycle — you cannot re-enter any subsequent round. Never withdraw unless you are certain you will not be joining any INI-CET institute in this cycle; if in doubt, choose Upgrade instead. Ques: What documents do I need when reporting to my allotted institute? Ans: Bring original documents and one set of self-attested photocopies of each: INI-CET admit card and rank/result letter MBBS/BDS degree or provisional certificate and all professional marks sheets Internship completion certificate Permanent/provisional NMC/DCI or State Medical/Dental Council registration certificate Category certificates (OBC-NCL, SC/ST, EWS, PwBD, or RAS — as applicable) within validity Class 10 certificate (date of birth proof) and Class 12 certificate with marks sheet Valid government photo ID (Aadhaar / PAN / Passport / Voter ID) Recent passport-size photographs (at least 6) Your allotment letter downloaded from the portal Ques: Is there a separate fee for AIIMS PG counselling registration or choice filling? Ans: No. AIIMS does not charge a separate fee for counselling registration or choice filling — those steps are free. A fee is payable only after you receive a seat allotment and choose to accept it. The seat acceptance fee details (amount, deadline, and refund conditions) are published in the official allotment notification for each round at aiimsexams.ac.in. Always refer to the official notification rather than third-party sources for binding fee information. Ques: My OBC-NCL certificate is from 2025 — will it be accepted? Ans: No. For AIIMS PG Counselling 2026, your OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate must be issued on or after April 1, 2026 — i.e., it must be from the current financial year (2025–26). Similarly, EWS certificates must be from the current financial year. A 2025 certificate — even if it was valid at the time of the INI-CET exam application — will not be accepted during counselling document verification. Obtain a fresh certificate from the competent authority of your state before reporting to the allotted institute. Ques: Do Foreign Nationals qualify for AIIMS PG (INI-CET) 2026 counselling? Ans: Yes. Foreign Nationals and OCI/PIO card holders who qualified INI-CET July 2026 are eligible for counselling. They must hold an MBBS/BDS degree from a recognised institution, meet the minimum percentage criteria, and hold a valid passport and OCI/PIO card. Separate seats are designated for Foreign Nationals at select institutes — check the official seat matrix on aiimsexams.ac.in for institute-wise availability. Foreign Nationals are not eligible for reservation-category seats (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS). Ques: What happens if I am not allotted a seat in Round 1? Ans: If you are not allotted any seat in Round 1, you are automatically eligible for Round 2. New seats become available in Round 2 from two sources: (1) students who chose the Upgrade option in Round 1 may move to a better seat, freeing their current one, and (2) students who withdrew in Round 1 release their seats entirely. You do not need to re-register for Round 2 — continue monitoring aiimsexams.ac.in for the Round 2 choice filling schedule and participate when the window opens.
