Questions related to INI CET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to INI CET ?

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.

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

https://medicine.careers360.com/articles/ini-cet-cutoff

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.
