# AIIMS Patna gets 3 MCh Neurosurgery seats for INI SS January 2027 2026-10-10T15:10:41+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet AIIMS New Delhi has increased the number of General category seats in MCh Neurosurgery at AIIMS Patna for the INI-SS January 2027 session. The revision, issued through an addendum to the INI-SS Prospectus Part-A, raises the seats from 2 to 3, following a communication from AIIMS Patna. The Sponsored and Foreign National categories remain unchanged, with zero seats in both. AIIMS has cautioned that the number of seats may be increased or decreased at any stage depending on subsequent approvals. Candidates have been advised to fill their choices accordingly and regularly check the AIIMS website for updates. The addendum also modifies tie-breaking rules: equal marks will now be resolved first by fewer negative marks, then by date of birth (older candidate preferred), removing the earlier criterion of higher marks in the qualifying examination. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The additional seat eases competition slightly for MCh Neurosurgery aspirants, but with only 3 general seats, demand will still far outstrip supply. The revised tie-breaking rule removes the qualifying exam marks as a factor, which simplifies the ranking process but shifts weight to age. Candidates must monitor the AIIMS website for further seat changes, as the institute retains the right to adjust numbers until the final list is published. The next step is for candidates to submit their choices before the deadline set by AIIMS for the January 2027 session. ## Coverage - medicaldialogues.in Straight news agency style, reports the addendum without commentary or advocacy.
