AIIMS INI SS January 2027: 2 seats added, tie rule changed
AIIMS New Delhi has revised seat positions and tie-breaking criteria for the INI SS January 2027 session for DM and MCh courses. Two new general seats have been added: one in DM Medical Oncology at PGIMER Chandigarh (from 1 to 2) and one in DM Neuroimaging and Interventional Neuroradiology at AIIMS New Delhi (from 0 to 1). Sponsored and foreign national seats remain unchanged.
The tie-breaking rule has also been updated. Candidates with equal marks will now be ranked first by fewer negative marks and then by date of birth, with the older candidate preferred. The earlier criterion of higher marks in the qualifying examination has been removed. AIIMS has warned that seat numbers may increase or decrease depending on further communications from participating institutes.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The addition of two seats in niche super-specialties at AIIMS and PGIMER signals a marginal expansion in high-demand courses, though the overall number of seats remains tight. Removing the qualifying examination marks from tie-breaking reduces the weight of past academic performance, making the entrance test and its negative-marking scheme more decisive. Candidates must now factor in age as the second tiebreaker, which could affect borderline cases. The addendum leaves open the possibility of further seat changes as institutes send updated communications.
