JIPMER PG 2026 – Counselling

The Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, does not host a standalone entrance test or a separate counselling portal for its postgraduate medical programs (MD/MS/MDS/Integrated 6-year M.Ch). Instead, admissions are fully channelized through the centralized INI-CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test) administered by AIIMS, New Delhi. For the landmark July 2026 session, the nationwide INI-CET was conducted on May 17, 2026, with the results declared shortly after on May 23, 2026, setting the stage for the centralized online seat allocation rounds managed on the AIIMS exams portal.

JIPMER PG (INI-CET) July 2026 Counselling Schedule

The Centralized Counselling Process

The allocation workflow operates completely online through the AIIMS portal (aiimsexams.ac.in) in multiple sequential steps.

1.Counselling Registration

Log in using your INI-CET credentials on the AIIMS online counselling portal. Generate a fresh set of login parameters explicitly for choice-filling operations.

2.Mock Round and Choice Formatting

Browse the comprehensive seat matrix. Select and arrange your preferred institute-specialty combinations (e.g., MD General Medicine at JIPMER) in your order of absolute priority. Review the mock round results to gauge your realistic prospects.

3.Final Choice Locking

Reorder, append, or delete choices based on your mock strategy. Lock your selection before the window terminates; failing to do so will automatically lock whatever preferences were last saved in the system.

4.Seat Acceptance Decision

If allocated a seat at JIPMER, log in to select your response:

5.Physical Reporting at JIPMER

Report physically to the JIPMER Puducherry campus Academic Section with your system-generated allocation letter, original credentials, and the requisite fee documents for spot verification and onboarding.

 JIPMER PG Counselling FAQs

Q1: Can I apply for JIPMER PG seats using my NEET PG scorecard?

A: No. Admission to MD, MS, and MDS courses at JIPMER Puducherry is exclusively determined by your merit ranking in the INI-CET examination. NEET PG scores are not valid or recognized for these seats.

Q2: What happens if I choose Option 2 (Accept with Upgrade) but fail to secure a seat in Round 2?

A: If you are not upgraded during the subsequent cycle, your initial Round 1 seat allocation at JIPMER remains completely safe and locked under your name, provided you fulfilled the initial reporting obligations.

Q3: Is the JIPMER Institutional Preference internal quota filled via the same portal?

A: Yes. Candidates eligible under the JIPMER Internal Candidate roster are mapped out using their INI-CET ranks within the centralized choice-filling dashboard, provided they declared their institute credentials during the basic registration layout.

Q4: What are the consequences of not reporting to JIPMER after selecting an acceptance option?

A: Failing to physically report to the JIPMER Puducherry campus within the strict round deadline will lead to an immediate cancellation of your allocated seat. Furthermore, you will be disqualified from participating in any remaining online seat allocation rounds.

Q5: Can someone else report on my behalf for the document verification segment?

A: No. The physical verification phase demands the candidate's personal presence at the JIPMER campus. Biometric tracking and signature cross-verifications are executed on the spot prior to formal admission confirmation.
