Hello,

It's highly unlikely you will get a clinical seat at AIIMS Mangalagiri with an INI CET All India Rank (AIR) of 19600 in the general category based on previous year's cutoff trends. The closing ranks for most competitive clinical branches in the general category at AIIMS Mangalargi typically close much earlier, often within the first few hundred to a couple of thousand ranks.

I hope it will clear your query!!

For the scope of general surgery in any of the INICET institutions after having secured a rank of 2211 in INICET for the specified general category you would have to check the previous cut offs for the General surgery branch for the INICET institutes, follow the link below for the updated cut offs for the general surgery in the specified institutes

You would have to get the detailed cut offs for the INICET examination to know whether the specified rank of 3500 and the particular category you are in gets the AIIMS or otherwise.

Hello,

If you forgot to generate the EUC (Eligibility Unique Code), then you will not be issued the admit card.

The EUC is mandatory for AIIMS INI CET applicants who completed their registration and payment. Without it, your application is considered incomplete , even if payment and submission were successful.

You should immediately visit the AIIMS INI CET portal and check if the option to generate the EUC is still open. If the window is closed, you may have to wait until AIIMS provides a correction or reopening window.

In short:

  • Without EUC → No admit card.

  • If window reopens → Generate EUC right away

Hope it helps !
