AIIMS INI CET January 2025: Check out Guidelines for 200-Point Roster Creation, Seat Allocation for Institutional Preferential Candidates

New Delhi- Through a notice, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has released guidelines/Principles for 200-point roster creation and seat allocation for all AIIMS for PG seats regarding Institutional Preferential (IP) candidates for INI CET January 2025.

Guidelines for Seat Allocation of AIIMS PG Seats

The following guidelines will be followed for allocation of PG Seats at all AIIMS for INICET January 2025 session. Counselling and Seat Allocation may be used interchangeably and mean one and the same thing. AIIMS at every instance refers to each individual AIIMS institution.

This document outlines the methodology and principles for developing the 200 Point Roster Model and its application in the allocation of PG seats across all AIIMS, specifically for Institutional Preference (IP) candidates. The roster is designed as per calculated percentages to determine the sequence of allocation for IP seat. It is emphasized that IP seats represent a preference and not a reservation, subject to the upper limit as defined by the governing rules.

Institutional Preference (IP) Candidates

To be considered for admission against Institutional Preference (IP) seats at each AIIMS, a candidate must have studied and obtained his/her MBBS Degree from the same AIIMS and must fulfil the eligibility for Unreserved (UR) candidates for Seat Allocation.

Criteria of Eligibility for Seat Allocation

a. Eligibility and Qualifying criteria published in the prospectus Part A will be applicable for all seats.

b. All eligible and qualified candidates will be considered for online Seat Allocation in order of merit.

c. Candidates will be considered for Seat Allocation only for the seats for which they fulfil the eligibility and qualifying criteria.

d. IP and PWBD candidates will also be eligible for UR seats or seats within their respective reservation category, on merit, if they qualify and fulfil the eligibility criteria for such seats.

Proposed method of calculation of IP Seats, UR Seats and Rosters for AIIMS PG Seats

a. A maximum of 50% of MBBS seats at respective AIIMS will be available as IP seats, provided that this number shall not be more than 50% of total UR seats (excluding MDS seats) for that institution.  

b. MBBS seats at the respective AIIMS shall be determined as the number of MBBS seats at entry in the batch that most recently completed their MBBS (including internship).

c. Accordingly, for the current INICET January 2025 Session, the number of seats for MBBS for the 2019 batch at the respective AIIMS shall be considered. Process of calculation of percentages for plotting on the 200 Roster Model to determine the sequence of preference to be followed for Institutional Preference (IP) seat allocation for AIIMS are given at Annexure- 1.

d. For AIIMS where the MBBS course was not started in 2019, no IP Seats shall be available for INI-CET PG January 2025 session.

e. Subject-wise availability of seats for each category (except IP), including for PWBD, has been published as per the roster maintained by each AIIMS for each subject as per applicable constitutional reservations for different categories.

f. All 6-year DM/MCh seats shall be treated as Unreserved (UR) seats. 

Allocation of Seats 

The 200 Roster Point system, as provided (ANNEXURE-2), is prepared using IP percentages calculated as per ANNEXURE-1 for plotting on the 200 Roster Model to determine the sequence of allocation to be followed for Institutional Preference (IP) seat allocation. It is clarified that IP seats are not a reservation but a preference, subject to the upper limit defined in the applicable rules.

Seat allocation will be as per merit of the candidates at each roster-point and applicable rules & procedure starting from the first Roster Point for each AIIMS in first round.

In the second and subsequent rounds of seat allocation of current session the roster will begin from the point where first seat is vacated from the previous round of allotment. Roster points on which candidates have confirmed admission will not be called for allocation in subsequent round of allocation.

At each roster-point, candidates of the reservation category of that roster-point will be considered for seat-allocation, as per merit.

Candidates will be allotted a seat available in their respective category as per their highest available choice for that institution.

When a candidate is considered for Seat Allocation against a reserved category roster point, he/she will only be considered for seats earmarked for that reserved category. However, if a candidate considered for seat allocation at a reserved roster-point is also the highest candidate in the overall UR merit at that point, he/she shall also be considered for allocation of the available seats at subsequent UR roster point for seats. If his/her highest choice is available both in the UR category and his/her reserved category, he/she shall be allotted the UR seat as a Meritorious Reserved Candidate if he/she is eligible for a UR seat.

PWBD reservation is a horizontal reservation and PWBD candidates will be considered only for the seats within their respective reservation categories i.e. for PWBD-UR seats, only PWBD candidates other than EWS/OBC/SC/ST will be considered, for PWBD-OBC seats only PWBD of OBC category, for PWBD-EWS seat only PWBD of EWS category, for PWBD-SC seat only PWBD of SC category, for PWBD-ST seat only PWBD of ST category and so on will be considered.

PwBD seats will be filled first in order of merit and constitutional reservations. Where no candidates are available in PWBD or no PWBD candidate has opted for available PWBD seats, such seats shall be added to their respective reservation category without PwBD reservation. For an IP roster-point, if no IP candidate is available or takes a seat, it will be considered as a UR roster point.

Any seat that remains unfilled will be converted as per following (only in Open round (if any)): -

EWS seats to UR

OBC seats to UR

ST seats to SC and if still unfilled, to UR

SC seats to ST and if still unfilled, to UR 

However, AIIMS, New Delhi reserve the right on the application of these rules, or their modification at the discretion of Director, AIIMS, New Delhi. Any dispute in relation to seat allocation is subject matter of courts at Delhi jurisdiction only.
