The examination was held nationwide on November 1, 2026, just six days before the result. For candidates who have spent months preparing for one of the toughest medical entrance tests in the country, today brings the answer they have been waiting for. Those who find their roll number in the PDF have cleared the first big hurdle on the road to a postgraduate medical seat.
34,236 candidates qualify
According to the official result notice, 34,236 candidates have passed the INI CET November 2026 examination. The result has been published in PDF format, and it lists the roll numbers of all qualified candidates. It does not carry individual marks or ranks at this stage. Candidates who want to see their individual scorecard can log in to the AIIMS examination portal using their registration ID and password.
Qualifying the examination does not by itself guarantee a seat. Admission depends on the counselling process that follows, where candidates register, fill in their preferred institutes and courses, and are allotted seats on the basis of their rank, choices and availability.
What INI CET is for
INI CET is the common entrance test for admission to postgraduate medical programmes at Institutes of National Importance. These include Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), Doctorate of Medicine (DM) of six years duration, Master of Chirurgiae (MCh) of six years duration, and Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) courses.
The participating institutes include AIIMS New Delhi and other AIIMS campuses, along with other Institutes of National Importance. Because these institutes are among the most sought after for postgraduate medical education in India, competition for every seat is intense, and the INI CET result is one of the most closely watched announcements in the medical education calendar.
How to check the INI CET result 2026
Candidates can check their qualifying status by following these steps:
- Visit the official AIIMS examination website, aiimsexams.ac.in.
- On the homepage, go to the results and announcements section.
- Click on the link for INI CET Result 2026.
- The result PDF will open on the screen.
- Press Ctrl+F and type your roll number to find it in the list.
- Download the PDF and save a copy for future reference.
Candidates should check the result only on the official portal. Several unofficial websites also carry the news, but the PDF on aiimsexams.ac.in is the authoritative list. If a roll number does not appear in the PDF, the candidate has not qualified in this session.
What happens next: counselling
The counselling process will be conducted separately for admission to the participating institutes. AIIMS has not yet released the counselling schedule, but once it is out, qualified candidates will have to register for counselling and fill in their desired institutes and courses.
Here is what qualified candidates should do now:
- Download and save the result PDF, and keep a note of your roll number.
- Log in to the portal and download your individual scorecard when it becomes available.
- Keep your documents ready, including your MBBS degree, internship completion certificate, registration certificate and identity proof.
- Watch aiimsexams.ac.in for the counselling schedule and registration dates.
- Do not pay any fee or share login details on any website other than the official portal.
Seat allotment in INI CET counselling follows merit and choice filling, so candidates should think carefully about the order in which they list institutes and courses. The schedule, once released, will spell out the registration window, choice filling dates and the rounds of allotment.
A quick result after a November 1 exam
One thing that stands out this session is the speed of the result. The examination was conducted on November 1, and the result is out on November 7, within a week. For an examination of this scale, that is a fast turnaround, and it gives qualified candidates more time to prepare for counselling instead of waiting in uncertainty.
For the 34,236 candidates who have qualified, the focus now shifts from the examination hall to the counselling rounds. For those who did not make the list this time, the next INI CET session is the next opportunity, and the official portal remains the place to watch for future announcements.
