INI CET January 2027 Exam Pattern at a Glance
INI CET is a 200-question, 3-hour computer-based test covering the full MBBS curriculum. Every correct answer earns 1 mark and every incorrect answer deducts one-third of a mark — unattempted questions carry no penalty.
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Exam Mode | Computer-Based Test (CBT) |
| Total Questions | 200 MCQs |
| Total Marks | 200 |
| Duration | 3 hours |
| Marking Scheme | +1 for correct, –1/3 for incorrect |
| Question Type | Single best response MCQs |
| Medium | English only |
| Syllabus | All subjects of the MBBS curriculum |
Questions are drawn from pre-clinical subjects (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry), para-clinical subjects (Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine) and clinical disciplines (Medicine, Surgery, OBG, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, ENT, Psychiatry, Dermatology, Radiology, Anaesthesia).
INI CET January 2027 Preparation Strategy After Registration
With registration closed and the exam roughly 4–6 weeks away, a week-by-week structure keeps preparation on track without last-minute panic.
| Week | Focus Area |
|---|---|
| Week 1–2 | High-yield clinical subjects — Medicine, Surgery, OBG: revise standard textbooks and solve previous-year questions topic by topic |
| Week 3 | Para-clinical subjects — Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology: concentrate on recent advances and image-based questions |
| Week 4 | Pre-clinical subjects — Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry: revise key tables, diagrams and high-frequency facts |
| Week 5 | Full-length mock tests: complete timed 200-question practice sessions and analyse every error thoroughly |
| Week 6 (final) | Rapid revision using short notes; avoid new topics; focus entirely on accuracy and time management |
Aiming for 140–150 correct answers out of 200 is a competitive benchmark for top AIIMS seats, based on previous INI CET January session cut-off trends. Negative marking at one-third means reckless guessing costs more than it gains — leave a question blank rather than guess blindly.
