The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh offers admission to MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh, and Hospital Administration programmes through the INI CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test), conducted by AIIMS New Delhi. The PGIMER 2027 application form (INI CET January 2027) is currently open at aiimsexams.ac.in and closes on October 13, 2026 (5:00 PM). The application fee is ₹4,000 for General/OBC and ₹3,200 for EWS/SC/ST students; PwBD students are fully exempt.

What is PGIMER Application Form 2027?

PGIMER Chandigarh is a premier national medical institution under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. It offers PG medical programmes — MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh, and Hospital Administration — through the INI CET entrance exam. INI CET is jointly conducted by AIIMS New Delhi on behalf of all Institutes of National Importance (INIs). You do not apply directly to PGIMER; you submit a single INI CET application at aiimsexams.ac.in and indicate your institute preference (including PGIMER Chandigarh) during counselling.

For January 2027 admissions, the INI CET application window is open from September 16 to October 13, 2026. The entrance exam is scheduled for November 1, 2026. PGIMER Chandigarh has 134 seats across PG medical programmes in this session. Your INI CET score determines your rank, and you participate in centralized counselling to secure a seat at PGIMER or any other INI.

Note: The PGIMER 2027 application window is currently open — do not wait until the last date. Application servers become congested near the deadline, and technical glitches close to cutoff can leave you unable to submit. Apply well before October 13, 2026.

PGIMER (INI CET) Registration Trends — Last 5 Years

INI CET January session registrations have grown steadily from approximately 43,000 in 2022 to around 60,000 in 2026 — a 40% rise in four years. Attendance rates have stayed consistently high at 95–97%, confirming that registered students are strongly motivated. For the 2027 January session, registrations are expected to touch 62,000–65,000, given the unbroken upward trend and growing recognition of INI CET as a pathway to PGIMER and other top INIs.
