AIIMS INI SS January 2026: Round 1 Seat Allotment Results Released Today
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is set to release the Round 1 seat allotment results for the INI SS January 2026 session today, 29th December. Candidates who participated in the counselling process can now access and download their allotment status through the official examination portal. The results will be available under the candidate’s personal login section, requiring the same credentials used during the initial application and counselling registration process.
Key Dates and Reporting Schedule
According to the official counselling timeline released by AIIMS, candidates who secure seats in Round 1 must complete the acceptance and reporting process between 30th December at 11:00 AM and 6th January at 6:00 PM. During this window, selected candidates are required to report to their allotted institutions, submit all necessary documents, and pay the security deposit. Only after completing these formalities will the admission be considered final and confirmed.
Understanding the Seat Allotment Process
The INI SS counselling system allocates seats to candidates based on their merit rank, preferences, and category. The merit list contains crucial information including the candidate’s roll number, overall rank, INI SS examination score, subject allotted, institution assigned, and category details. Once a seat is allocated, candidates must log in to the portal and select one of two available options:
- Accept the allotted seat and withdraw from participation in subsequent counselling rounds
- Accept the current seat while continuing to participate in upcoming rounds for potential upgrades
In cases where seats remain vacant in specific sub-categories such as General, Sponsored, or Foreign National quotas, these positions will be carried forward and offered in the next counselling round.
Participating Institutions and Programs
The INI SS counselling process facilitates admissions into Doctor of Medicine (DM) and Master of Chirurgiae (MCh) super-specialty programs across India’s premier medical institutions. The participating institutes include AIIMS campuses nationwide, PGIMER Chandigarh, SCTIMST Thiruvananthapuram, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and JIPMER Puducherry. These institutions represent some of the most sought-after destinations for postgraduate medical education in the country.
The INI SS examination for the 2026 session was conducted on 22nd November, with 3,304 candidates declared eligible for the counselling process. Looking ahead, the Round 2 seat allotment results are scheduled for release on 20th January 2026, with the corresponding college reporting period running from 21st to 28th January.
How to Access Your Seat Allotment Result
Candidates can retrieve their Round 1 seat allotment results by following the standard procedure on the official AIIMS examination website. The process involves navigating through the academic courses section to locate the super specialty category. The allotment result can be viewed and downloaded in PDF format for future reference. Candidates are advised to keep their login credentials ready and check the portal regularly for updates and announcements regarding the counselling process.
It is essential for candidates to carefully review their allotment details, including the institution and course assigned, and make timely decisions regarding acceptance. Missing the reporting deadline could result in forfeiture of the allotted seat. Candidates who wish to improve their allotment in subsequent rounds should select the appropriate option while accepting their current seat to remain eligible for further counselling phases.
For those who have been successfully allotted seats, the next steps involve preparing the required documentation, arranging the security deposit, and completing the joining formalities at their respective institutions within the specified timeframe. Candidates should also monitor official communications for any changes or additional instructions related to the counselling schedule.
