What Is the AIIMS INI SS July 2026 Round 1 Result?
This section explains what the Round 1 result actually represents in the INI SS admission cycle.
The Round 1 result is the first seat allocation list of the INI SS counselling process, prepared after candidates complete choice-filling for their preferred institute and super-speciality course. AIIMS releases a separate seat allotment list in PDF format for each round, and the allotment is based on the choices filled by candidates, their rank in the merit list, and seat availability at the participating institutes. Unlike the earlier Stage 1 and Stage 2 exam results which only confirmed who qualified for counselling the Round 1 result tells each qualified candidate exactly which institute and speciality they have been provisionally allotted.

The Institute of National Importance Super-Speciality Entrance Test is conducted twice a year, in January and July, with each session following a structured timeline for exam dates, results, and subsequent stages. For the July 2026 cycle:
| Event | Date |

Institutes and Courses Covered Under INI SS July 2026 Round 1
This section identifies which institutes participate in the counselling and which programmes are on offer.
The INI SS July 2026 session covers admission to DM, MCh, and MD (Hospital Administration) courses at AIIMS New Delhi and other AIIMS institutions, JIPMER Puducherry, PGIMER Chandigarh, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Thiruvananthapuram. Seats are allotted purely on the basis of merit, the candidate's filled choices, and seat availability in each speciality.
Merit Lists Used for Seat Allotment: AML vs CML
This section clarifies the two separate ranking lists AIIMS uses, since the list a candidate falls under decides which institutes they are eligible for.
Seat allotment is carried out using the AIIMS Merit List (AML) and the Common Merit List (CML), combined with the institution and course choices filled by candidates and their overall performance in the entrance examination.
- Common Merit List (CML): Applicable for all participating institutions except AIIMS and PGIMER, based on Stage 1 performance alone.
- AIIMS Merit List (AML): For candidates who opted for AIIMS or PGIMER, Chandigarh, and have qualified both Stage 1 and Stage 2, with marks out of a combined 100 (80 in Stage 1 and 20 in Stage 2).
After Round 1: Accept & Exit or Accept & Continue
This section explains the two choices every allotted candidate must make after viewing their result.
Once a seat is allotted in Round 1, candidates get two options after logging in to the portal:
- Option 1 – Accept & Exit: Secure the allotted seat and opt out of further counselling rounds.
- Option 2 – Accept & Continue: Retain the allotted seat while remaining eligible for an upgrade in the next round.
Candidates choosing Option 2 should note an important rule from AIIMS's counselling framework: if a candidate is upgraded in a later round, the institute allocated earlier is considered vacated and reallocated to the next eligible candidate, and failure to join the upgraded institute can attract a heavy penalty. There is no provision to simply reject an allotted seat without consequence, so candidates should choose carefully based on how confident they are about improving their allotment. Shiksha
Reporting Process After the Round 1 Result
This section outlines what allotted candidates are typically required to do once they accept a seat.
Candidates allotted a seat must report to the allotted institute within the timeline specified in the official notification, carrying original documents for verification, and complete the admission formalities, including payment of the prescribed fee or security deposit. Failure to report within the stipulated window can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat.
Based on AIIMS's established pattern from earlier sessions, the reporting window generally opens within a day or two of the result and runs for about a week. However, candidates should refer to the official Round 1 result notification or PDF on aiimsexams.ac.in for the exact reporting start and end dates applicable to the July 2026 session, since these are fixed separately for each session.
Eligibility for Round 2 After Round 1
This section explains who can move forward to the next counselling round.
Candidates allotted seats in Round 1 who opt for further upgradation are eligible for Round 2 of online institute allocation, and candidates considered in Round 1 but not allotted any institute are automatically eligible for Round 2. However, candidates who were eligible for Round 1 but did not register or fill their choices will not be eligible for Round 2, though they may still participate in a later Open Round if one is conducted. In short, participating in Round 1 even without securing a seat keeps a candidate's counselling chances alive for subsequent rounds.
