Documents for INI-CET seat allocation: the checklist

Last updated 3 Oct 2026 · Reviewed by Dr. Rajiv Marechal
Based on AIIMS New Delhi’s July 2026 result notifications, the January 2027 prospectus and each institute’s July 2026 Part-B prospectus (listed under Sources). Check the documents for your session the day they appear: cut-off dates change every session.

INI-CET does not check your papers before the exam. It checks them when you report to a seat, and a seat can be cancelled at that point. Reporting deadlines are short: in July 2026 there were six days between the Round 1 result and the last time to report. So get every paper into the right form before the result, and keep the originals and one set of self-attested copies together for the whole season.

1. When you apply

Only a few certificates are uploaded with the application. Everything else is checked at reporting.

SC, ST, OBC (non-creamy layer), EWS and PwBD certificates are uploaded with the registration. For January 2027 the window is 16 September to 13 October 2026.
OBC (non-creamy layer) in the central government (DoPT) format, with your caste in the central OBC list. For January 2027 it must be issued between 1 April 2026 and 13 October 2026. If the new one is not ready, upload the older certificate with the receipt of your renewal application, and produce the valid one when asked.
EWS income and asset certificate in the central government format. For January 2027, issued between 1 April 2026 and 13 October 2026, on the income of 2025-26.
You cannot change your category later. If your certificate is not valid, you are considered on the UR merit list.
Sponsored candidates upload the sponsorship certificate, and must bring the original at admission. Foreign nationals need a No Objection Certificate from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; one from the Ministry of External Affairs alone is not valid. OCI candidates upload their earliest valid OCI card.
Seats such as PGIMER’s Rural Area or NIMHANS’s domicile seats need the certificate that institute’s Part-B describes.

2. When you report to a seat (every institute)

This is AIIMS’s own list, printed in each round’s result notification for all the institutes.

OBC (non-creamy layer) or EWS certificate, if it applies	Original, in the central government format, issued inside the prospectus dates, in English or Hindi. It must be the same certificate you gave AIIMS when you applied. A certificate valid only for a state is not accepted.
PwBD certificate, if it applies	From a duly constituted and authorised medical board.
Anything else your institute's Part-B asks for	See section 4 below.

Originals, or copies with a ₹3 lakh draft

In Rounds 1 and 2 you hand over the originals with one set of self-attested copies, or self-attested copies with a ₹3 lakh demand draft in the name of “AIIMS MAIN GRANT ACCOUNT”, payable at SBI Ansari Nagar, New Delhi.
The draft is returned when the originals are deposited within five days. If they are not, the admission is cancelled and the ₹3 lakh is forfeited.
For the Open Round, the July 2026 result asks for the originals with one set of self-attested copies. It names no draft option.
Moved to a different institute in Round 2? Your documents are transferred internally. You still report in person at the new institute.

3. PwBD candidates

Every PwBD candidate who gets a seat reports with the original PwBD certificate to the Registrar’s office at AIIMS New Delhi, on the date the round result gives, for a check by AIIMS’s medical board. In July 2026 that was 25 June for Round 1 and 22 August for the Open Round. If the certificate is not valid, the PwBD seat is forfeited and you go on in your own category.

4. Extra papers, institute by institute

From each institute’s July 2026 Part-B prospectus:

Institute	What it adds
All AIIMS	In-service candidates bring the relieving order in original. The original permanent registration certificate is due when you join. You join only after the institute’s medical board finds you fit. AIIMS keeps your original certificates until the course ends, unless you deposit ₹3 lakh.
JIPMER Puducherry	Fingerprint or iris scan and photo checks on the day of joining. Its own list adds: hall ticket, rank letter, conduct certificate, transfer or migration certificate (up to a week is allowed for it), proof of residence (a Tehsildar’s certificate, Aadhaar, voter ID or passport copy), COVID-19 vaccination certificate, a certificate that your degree is recognised, NOC or relieving order and study leave for service candidates, and four passport-size colour photos. OBC, SC, ST and EWS certificates go in JIPMER’s own formats. A Hepatitis B immunisation certificate is needed at the medical examination. Certificates in another language need an English translation attested by a gazetted officer. You must come in person.
PGIMER Chandigarh	An agreement on non-judicial stamp paper of at least ₹5, and two sureties on ₹25 non-judicial stamp paper, preferably from local residents. Sureties from junior or senior residents are not accepted. Without the sureties you cannot join. Rural Area seats need the Rural Area Service certificate in PGIMER’s format, from the District Magistrate. You join the same day, after paying the fees.
NIMHANS Bengaluru	A Course Completion Agreement Bond, whose terms NIMHANS shares after the result. Transfer and migration certificates. Permanent registration with the Karnataka Medical Council. A medical fitness certificate in its format. A CPR training certificate, at admission or within six months. The anti-ragging declaration. Domicile seats need a Tehsildar’s certificate of seven years’ residence (or property) in the state, with a certified English translation if needed. Pending originals are due within fifteen days of the course starting.
SCTIMST Thiruvananthapuram	A bond of ₹50 lakh, from everyone except sponsored candidates. Report with all original documents on the day the session starts (1 July 2026 for July 2026). Admission is provisional until its medical board finds you fit.

Everywhere: once selected, you register with the medical or dental council of the state the institute is in, for the length of the course.

5. The mistakes that cost seats

An OBC or EWS certificate in a state format, or issued outside the prospectus dates. You lose the reserved seat and are considered as UR.
Paying the ₹3 lakh draft at reporting, then not bringing the originals within five days.
Not reporting in person by the deadline. The seat is cancelled, and only the Open Round is left.
A PwBD certificate that is not from an authorised medical board.
Arriving at PGIMER without the two sureties.
A sponsored candidate without the original sponsorship certificate at admission.
Photocopies only, in the Open Round.
