The effect was announced through an official notice issued by the Examination Section of AIIMS. The institute clarified that although these candidates were provisionally eligible for the Open Round, they did not respond to repeated communication asking them to submit proof of payment or transaction details for reconciliation.
As part of the Open Round process, candidates were required to upload or email their payment transaction details to confirm their participation. AIIMS had given them a final opportunity to submit the required information. However, the candidates listed in Annexure-1 neither submitted valid payment proof nor responded within the stipulated timeline.
Due to this lapse, AIIMS has officially cancelled their candidature and made it clear that no further requests or claims will be considered.
"With reference to Notice No. 28/2026 Dated 11.02.2026 provisionally eligible candidate for Open Round of Seat Allocation of INICET January 2026 session were given opportunity to provide their payment/transaction details in email to reconcile transaction, however no reply has been received from candidates mentioned in Annexure 1. The candidature of these candidate for seat allocation has been cancelled and no further claim can be entertained in this regard," the notice read.
The cancellation impacts candidates who had applied for prestigious postgraduate courses across Institutes of National Importance, including:
• MD/MS
• DM (6-year)
• MCh (6-year)
• MDS
The Open Round is typically one of the final opportunities for seat allotment in the January session, making the cancellation particularly significant for the affected candidates.
The move serves as a strong reminder for medical aspirants to carefully follow counselling instructions, especially during crucial stages like payment confirmation and document verification. Even small procedural oversights can lead to serious consequences in competitive national-level examinations.
AIIMS has advised all candidates to regularly check the official website for updates, notices, and further counselling instructions. With limited seats and intense competition in INI-CET, strict compliance with timelines and submission requirements remains essential for securing admission.
