Delhi: All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has issued guidelines/principles for 200-point roster creation and seat allocation for all AIIMS for PG seats regarding Institutional Preferential (IP) candidates for the INI CET ((MD/MS/MCh (6 years)/DM (6 years)/MDS)) July 2023 session.

The following guidelines will be followed –

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 fulfill the eligibility for Unreserved (UR) candidates for seat allocation.

Criteria of Eligibility for seat allocation –

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

2. All eligible and qualified candidates will be considered for online seat allocation in order of merit.

3. Candidates will be considered for seat allocation only for the seats for which they fulfill the eligibility and qualifying criteria.

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

The proposed method of calculation of IP Seats, UR Seats, and Rosters for AIIMS PG Seats –

1. 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.

2. 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).

3. Accordingly, for the current INICET July 2023 Session, the number of seats for MBBS for the 2017 batch at the respective AIIMS shall be considered. The process of Calculation of IP Seats & IP Percentage for AIIMS is given in Annexure- 1.

4. For AIIMS where the MBBS course was not started in 2017, no IP Seats shall be available for INI-CET PG July 2023 session.

5. 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.

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

7. A 200-point roster, with IP seats marked, has been drawn for INICET July 2023 session for AIIMS where IP is available as given in Annexure-2

Allocation of Seats –

The 200 Roster points as provided (ANNEXURE-2) are only for the determination of IP Seats and the sequence of allocation of seats in order of merit to the respective category including IP; not to determine the constitutional reservation percentage. The Constitutional reservation percentage has been ensured separately for each Department/Subject/Speciality at respective participating AIIMS/INIs and available seats for each Department/Subject/Specialty have been published vide notice number 70/2023 dated 23-03-2023, 104/2023 dated 09-06-2023.

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

In the second and subsequent rounds of seat allocation, the roster will begin from the point where the 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 the 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.

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 UR 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.

If a candidate who is allotted a reserved category or IP seat at a roster point earmarked for a reserved category or IP, subsequently gets a higher preference seat in the UR category when considered for seat allocation on his/her UR merit, he/she shall be allotted the higher preference seat and the previously held seat will be vacated.

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 converted to a UR roster point.

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

1. EWS seats to UR

2. OBC seats to UR

3. ST seats to SC and if still unfilled, to UR

4. SC seats to ST and if still unfilled, to UR

Others –

1. AIIMS, New Delhi reserve the right on the application of these rules, or their modification at the discretion of the Director, AIIMS, New Delhi.

2. Any dispute in relation to seat allocation is the subject matter of courts in Delhi jurisdiction only.

AIIMS has further announced that seats at Roster Point are subject to availability of seats under implementation for reservation for constitutional reservation in individual Subjects/Discipline. PWBD seats shall also be allocated as under implementation for 5% horizontal reservation across constitutional reserve category candidates as per seats made available by respective AIIMS in individual Subjects/Disciplines. No Roster Point is applicable at AIIMS where no MBBS seat in 2017.
