For thousands of doctors chasing a super-speciality seat, the wait is over. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has declared the Institute of National Importance Super-Speciality (INI SS) January 2027 Stage I result, and 4,717 candidates have been provisionally qualified for Doctorate of Medicine (DM) and Master of Chirurgiae (MCh) courses.
Published on October 31, a week after the computer-based Stage I examination on October 24, the result is available as roll number-wise qualified lists on the official AIIMS examination portal, aiimsexams.ac.in.
Qualifying does not confirm admission. It means a candidate has crossed the first cut and stays in the race, subject to eligibility checks and later selection stages.
What the result shows: 4,717 qualified across 84 specialities
According to the result lists, 3,089 candidates have qualified for DM courses across 61 specialities, while 1,628 candidates have qualified for MCh courses across 23 specialities. Together, that covers 84 specialities in the January 2027 session.
The lists are published speciality by speciality. The word provisionally matters: they are subject to eligibility and document verification under the prospectus. A name in the list is a strong step forward, but not the final allotment.
Save a copy of the relevant list once you find your roll number. It will be useful for Stage II, counselling and reporting.

What happens next: Stage II for AIIMS and PGIMER seats
The next step depends on which institutes a candidate applied for. For AIIMS institutes and the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, qualified candidates move to Stage II, a departmental assessment conducted by video conferencing.
Stage II carries 20 marks and tests domain knowledge in the chosen super-speciality. The qualifying bar is clear and strict. A candidate must score at least 50 percent in Stage I, which is 40 out of 80 marks, to reach Stage II. Then, to feature in the final merit list for AIIMS and PGIMER seats, the candidate must also score at least 50 percent across Stage I and Stage II combined, which is 50 out of 100 marks.
Missing Stage II closes that route. A candidate who does not appear for the departmental assessment will not be considered qualified for AIIMS and PGIMER seats, even with a strong Stage I score.
Candidates seeking seats at the other participating institutes, including the Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru, and the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Thiruvananthapuram, follow their own counselling schedules based on the Stage I result.
Which institutes are covered
The INI SS entrance is the common gateway to super-speciality seats at institutes of national importance. For the January 2027 session, the participating institutes include AIIMS New Delhi and other AIIMS institutes, PGIMER Chandigarh, JIPMER Puducherry, NIMHANS Bengaluru and SCTIMST Thiruvananthapuram.
What qualified candidates should do now
- Keep checking aiimsexams.ac.in for the Stage II schedule and the first round of seat allotment.
- Keep registration details, identity proof and academic documents ready for verification.
- Prepare for Stage II as a clinical and subject assessment, not as another written test. It rewards depth in the chosen speciality.
- Read the prospectus conditions again, especially for the institute and course applied for, because eligibility rules can differ by course.
With cut-off claims and counselling rumours already circulating, the safest approach is simple: trust the official list and the official portal, and prepare for the next notified step.
