The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) released the Institute of National Importance- Super Speciality (INI-SS) January 2026 round 1 seat allotment result today, December 29 . Candidates aspiring for admission to DM and MCh super speciality courses can now download their results from the official website, aiimsexams.ac.in.
Result Access and Verification
To view the seat allotment result, eligible candidates must log in to the “My Page” section on the AIIMS portal. Access requires the same credentials used during the initial application form submission and other INI SS related processes for the January 2026 session. Candidates are advised to download and verify their provisional allotment letter upon login.
Seat Acceptance and College Reporting Protocol
Successful candidates must complete the seat acceptance and college reporting process between December 30, 2025, at 11:00 AM , and January 6, 2026, at 6:00 PM . This critical window requires candidates to physically report to their allotted institution. During this reporting phase, candidates must submit all necessary documents for verification and deposit the stipulated security amount. Completing these steps confirms their admission for the January 2026 session. Failure to complete these actions within the specified deadline will lead to forfeiture of the allotted seat.
Understanding the Allotment Mechanism
The AIIMS INI SS counselling 2026 allocates institutes based on a candidate’s merit. This merit is determined by their performance in the INI SS examination. The provisional merit list, released alongside the allotment result, provides essential details. It includes the candidate’s roll number, overall rank, individual INI SS scores, the super speciality subject applied for, the specific institute allotted, and their category designation.
Candidate Choice Post-Allotment
Upon reviewing their seat allotment, candidates are presented with two distinct options within their online portal:
- Option 1: Accept the allotted seat and elect not to participate in any subsequent counselling rounds. Choosing this option finalizes the admission process for the current allotment.
- Option 2: Accept the allotted seat but also choose to participate in further rounds of counselling. This option allows candidates to secure their current seat while potentially seeking an upgrade in subsequent rounds.
Candidates must carefully consider their choice as it impacts their eligibility for future allotment rounds.
Handling Vacant Seats
Should any seats remain unfulfilled or rejected within specific sub-groups, such as General, Sponsored, or Foreign National categories, these seats will not be re-allotted in the current counselling session. Instead, they will be carried forward to the subsequent admission session for INI SS super speciality courses.
