The INI-CET January 2027 session will be held on 1 November, as per the prospectus released by AIIMS New Delhi. The computer-based test contains 200 objective-type questions divided into four separately timed parts of 50 questions each, with 45 minutes allotted per part. Candidates cannot view or answer questions from other parts while a section is active, and each part is automatically submitted after its time expires.
Correct answers earn one mark, wrong answers incur a penalty of one-third mark. Unanswered questions receive zero. The minimum percentile cut-off for unreserved, EWS, sponsored and foreign national candidates is the 50th percentile, and 45th percentile for OBC, SC, ST, PwBD and Bhutanese nationals. Tie cases are resolved by less negative marks first, then higher qualifying degree percentage, then older age, then alphabetical order of names.
The AIIMS INI-CET January 2027 session's exact exam scheme has been finalised, with a four-part structure that locks candidates into 45-minute sections they cannot revisit. This format demands strict time management and penalises incorrect answers with a one-third mark deduction, making negative marks a decisive factor in rank. The tie-breaker criteria place less negative marks as the first resolver and age as the third, meaning candidates with identical scores will be separated more by exam strategy than by academic merit. Scribe and compensatory-time provisions for PwBD candidates follow central government disability rules, ensuring accessibility for those with specific benchmark conditions. The examination is scheduled for 1 November.
