INI CET application form 2026 can be filled in online mode from the steps mentioned in the table below.

For 2026, there is no separate basic or final registration process. Candidates need to complete the registration in a single one-time process, which will cover all the required information for future examinations. This makes the process simpler and avoids multiple rounds of form-filling.
Step 1: One Time Registration (OTR)
All candidates must first register their basic details through OTR. This includes personal information like name, date of birth, contact details, and other essential data.
DigiLocker verification: If possible, candidates are encouraged to fetch and verify their details via DigiLocker. This helps ensure that the information is accurate and saves time during future verification processes.
Important: Once submitted, the details in OTR will be used for all future exams and cannot be changed later, so make sure everything is correct before submitting.
Step 2: Filling the Registration Form
After OTR, candidates need to fill the main registration form. Here, you will provide:
Your educational qualifications, including class 10, 12, and any other relevant degrees.
Details of your internship or practical training, if applicable.
Any relevant work experience that may be required for eligibility or scoring.
Filling this accurately is crucial, as discrepancies can lead to issues in future verification or exam eligibility.
Step 3: Payment of Registration Fee
Once the form is filled, the registration fee must be paid online within the specified dates. Payment can usually be made via debit/credit cards, net banking, or other digital modes. Keep the payment receipt safe, as it may be required for reference later.
Step 4: Uploading Documents
Candidates must upload:
A recent passport-size photograph
Their signature
Thumb impression (if required)
All documents should be uploaded in the prescribed format and size. Incorrect formats or sizes may lead to rejection of the application, so double-check before uploading.

On Question asked by student community
Hello,
With a rank of 1375 in the INI CET November 2025 session under the general category, securing a seat in general surgery or orthopedics will be very difficult, but still you have chances in fields like MCh courses or related surgical fields in the counseling rounds.
I hope it will clear your query!!
Hello,
Based on previous INI-CET trends , a UR rank around 25,686 usually does not get a Microbiology seat in AIIMS institutes.
In most years, Microbiology in AIIMS closes at a much better (lower) rank for the unreserved category. Only the very last round in some years has gone close to this range, and even that is rare. Seats are few, and most AIIMS fill Microbiology well before this rank.
You may still keep hope for the open or mop-up rounds , as small movements can happen, but the chances remain low based on past data.
You can use our INI-CET College Predictor Tool to predict which colleges you can get based on your score and rank.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
If your employer refuses sponsorship, you cannot apply for a sponsored seat in INI-CET or DNB. Sponsorship is given only by the parent organisation.
You can consider these options:
Apply in the general category (no sponsorship needed).
Take Extraordinary Leave (EOL) or leave without pay to do PG.
Submit a written request asking the institute to reconsider sponsorship.
Check your institute’s rules, because many autonomous bodies have strict conditions for sponsored study leave.
There is no alternate authority that can sponsor you if your own organisation denies it.
Hope it helps !

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.
