PG Medical Admissions: AIIMS notifies on postponement of INI CET 2021 exam

New Delhi: Through a recent notice, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has informed about the postponement of INI-CET for admission to PG medical courses of INIs for the July 2021 session.

"As per direction of Hon'ble Supreme court of India to postpone the INI-CET for admission to PG courses of all INIs (AIIMS New Delhi, AIIMS Bhopal, AIIMS Bhubaneshwar, AIIMS Jodhpur, AIIMS Nagpur, AIIMS Patna, AIIMS Raipur, AIIMS Rishikesh, JIPMER Puducherry, NIMHANS Bengaluru and PGIMER Chandigarh) for July 2021 session following examination scheduled on Wednesday, the 16th June, 2021 have been postponed till further notice," the notice clearly read.

The revised dates for conduct of the said examination will be notified in due course of time through website www.aiimsexams.ac.in

Medical Dialogues recently reported that the noting that the MBBS doctors who seek higher education presently, are serving COVID duties and the fixation of the PG entrance exam date amid this situation is arbitrary, the Supreme Court directed the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to defer the INI CET 2021 exam, which was scheduled to be held on June 16, by at least a month.

"Considering that many of the candidates intending to appear in the exam are in covid duty and remote areas, we are of the opinion that June 16 date is arbitrary. We direct the exam to be postponed by one month, Needless to say exam can be held anytime after the expiry of one month," the Bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and MR Shah ordered.

The AIIMS had further been directed to give an appropriate date for the exam being conducted for admission to postgraduate courses (MD, MS, MDS, DM and MCH courses) in leading Government Medical Institutes in the Country including AIIMS, JIPMER, and NIMHANS. More than 80,000 candidates are set to appear for the examination for around 800 seats.

The Supreme Court was hearing the petitions- one filed by a group of 23 MBBS doctors and another filed by Indian Medical Association, Medical Student Network (Chhattisgarh Chapter) along with 35 serving doctors currently serving in Covid duties challenging the conduct of the INI CET examination on 16th June 2021 and seeking directions for its postponement.
