You can check your INI CET January 2027 application status on the official AIIMS portal at aiimsexams.ac.in using your registration number and password.

INI CET January 2027 is the postgraduate medical entrance exam for admission to MD, MS, MDS, MCh, DM, and MHA programs at Institutes of National Importance including AIIMS (New Delhi, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur, Rishikesh), JIPMER Puducherry, and PGI Chandigarh. After you submit your application form and pay the fee, AIIMS processes your form and updates the status on the portal. Checking the status confirms whether your form has been accepted, is under review, or needs correction before the exam cycle proceeds.

  • Application status is available at aiimsexams.ac.in — log in with your registration ID and password.
  • A status of "Accepted" or "Submitted" confirms your form is valid and no further action is needed at this stage.
  • A "Defective" status means an issue was found — read the reason and correct it during the correction window.
  • Fee payment must be confirmed; a "Payment Pending" status means your application is not yet valid even if the form data is correct.
  • AIIMS notifies students of defective applications via registered email or SMS — check both after submission.

Steps to Check INI CET January 2027 Application Status

Follow these steps on the official AIIMS portal to check whether your INI CET January 2027 application has been accepted:

  1. Open the official AIIMS exam portal: aiimsexams.ac.in
  2. Click the INI CET January 2027 notification or the relevant link displayed on the homepage.
  3. Select "Applicant Login" or "Application Status" from the options shown.
  4. Enter your registration number and password in the fields provided.
  5. Click "Login" or "Submit".
  6. Your current application status will appear on screen — take a screenshot or note it down for your records.
  7. If the status shows "Accepted" or "Confirmed", your form is valid and no action is needed now.

If you have forgotten your registration number, check the confirmation email sent to your registered address immediately after form submission. Many portals also offer a "Forgot Registration Number" option that lets you retrieve it using your mobile number or email ID.


What Each Application Status Means

The AIIMS portal may display one of several statuses for your INI CET January 2027 application. The table below explains what each status means and tells you exactly what action to take.

Status Displayed What It Means Action Required
Submitted / Received Form received by AIIMS and being processed. No immediate action needed — wait for final confirmation.
Accepted / Confirmed Form verified and accepted by AIIMS. No action needed — your application is valid.
Under Scrutiny Form is under review for eligibility or document verification. Wait; AIIMS will notify you if further information is required.
Defective / Incomplete An issue was found — photo, signature, or document problem. Read the reason; correct the error during the correction window.
Payment Pending Fee payment has not been confirmed by the system. Check bank statement; if debited, email helpdesk with transaction proof.
Rejected Application did not meet eligibility or was not corrected in time. Contact AIIMS helpdesk with registration number and supporting documents.

Do not make a second fee payment if your status shows "Payment Pending." Banks sometimes record a deduction before the portal confirms receipt. Wait 24 hours and check again. If the status has still not updated, contact the helpdesk with your transaction ID and a screenshot of your bank statement — the AIIMS team will reconcile the payment manually.


What to Do If Your Application is Defective or Rejected

A "Defective" or "Rejected" status does not automatically end your INI CET January 2027 attempt. Act quickly using the steps below:

  1. Identify the specific reason. The portal or a notification email to your registered address will state the exact issue — photo size, signature mismatch, eligibility document missing, or category certificate format error.
  2. Check whether a correction window is open. AIIMS typically provides a short correction period of 2 to 5 days after the application deadline. If it is open, log in and fix the error immediately.
  3. Gather your supporting documents. Keep your fee payment receipt, bank transaction ID, and application confirmation email ready in case you need to escalate to the exam cell.
  4. Contact the AIIMS helpdesk. Use the official contact on aiimsexams.ac.in. State your registration number clearly, describe the issue, and attach relevant proof such as a transaction screenshot or corrected document.
  5. Do not submit a duplicate application unless AIIMS explicitly instructs you to. Submitting a duplicate can result in permanent disqualification from the exam cycle.

The most common reasons for a defective INI CET application are: photograph not meeting the specified dimensions or white-background requirement, signature image cropped incorrectly, name or date of birth not matching the MBBS degree certificate, internship not completed as of the cutoff date, or a caste/category certificate not in the prescribed state government format. Before concluding that the rejection is an error, review your uploaded files carefully against the requirements in the official notification.

Ques. Can I reapply for INI CET January 2027 if my application is rejected?

Ans. Do not submit a duplicate application without explicit instruction from AIIMS — doing so can lead to permanent disqualification. Contact the official helpdesk to understand the rejection reason and whether a remedy is available within the application period.

Ques. Is an "Accepted" application status enough to download the INI CET January 2027 admit card?

Ans. An "Accepted" application status is a prerequisite for the admit card, but the admit card is released separately by AIIMS closer to the exam date. Keep checking aiimsexams.ac.in for the admit card release notification once your application is confirmed.
