- Keep a stable internet connection and a backup mobile hotspot.
- Choose a quiet, well-lit room free of interruptions.
- Keep a valid photo ID and your INI-SS documents nearby.

Joining links and platform details may come directly from the department. Follow only instructions from official AIIMS or PGIMER sources.
INI-SS also fills seats at JIPMER, NIMHANS, and SCTIMST . Those institutes do not hold this Stage 2 assessment. For AIIMS and PGIMER, missing your slot can cost your seat chance.
