Hello Aspirant,

Given your INICET 2025 score of 573 in OBC category, you definitely have a chance for Pediatrics at JIPMER. I cannot guarantee you the seat as admission not only depends on score but also on the total number of candidates, cut-off marks specified for different categories and availability of seats in that year. Based on my personal experience of preparing for INICET for the past two years, generally, more than 570 score in OBC category is competitive, but you realize or know this may vary technically for final allotment.

Hello there,

With an All India Rank (AIR) of 8600 in INICET under the OBC category, your chances of admission depend on the participating institutes and available branches. Generally, at this rank, you may get admission to:

• Less competitive branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering in many private and some government institutes.

• Possibly some computer-related branches in private colleges with lower cutoffs.

Top government or highly sought-after colleges and branches like Computer Science or Electronics may be difficult to get at this rank.

It is recommended to check the official counselling lists and seat allotment updates for precise college and branch options available for your rank and category.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Hello,

Obtaining a seat in paediatrics at any AIIMS is extremely unlikely given a rank of 10,551 in the General category of the INI-CET May 2025. While more recent AIIMS campuses may have 200–300 students, paediatrics at prestigious AIIMS like Delhi used to close within the ranks of 18–50. It is advisable to think about other specialities or institutions where the cutoff is higher given your rank. To increase your chances of landing a postgraduate medical seat, actively participate in all counselling rounds, including mop-up rounds, and maintain flexibility in your options.

All the best.

I hope your query is resolved now. All the best for your future.

HELLO,

Congratulations on clearing your FMGE and beginning your internship.

regarding the INI-CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test) eligibility:

so to be eligible, you must typically have provisional or permanent registration with MCI/NMC or a state medical council and you need to provide the relevant registration number during the application process.

unfortunately an application number is not equivalent to a provisional registration number because the INI-CET form is very specific they require a valid registration number which confirms that you are officially registered as a medical practitioner with the NMC or a recognized State Medical Council.

Using just your application number may cause your application to be rejected during document verification even if you meet all eligibility criteria.

so what you can do is :

contact MMC immediately to check the status of your provisional registration and request expedited processing if possible.

Reach out to the INI-CET helpdesk or AIIMS exam authorities to ask if there is any temporary provision or alternative documentation they accept if your provisional number is pending.

Hope this helps

Hello,

No, you cannot apply for the INI CET exam using just your application number. You must have either a provisional or permanent registration number from the National Medical Commission (NMC) or Dental Council of India (DCI) at the time of online registration. Without this, your application will not be accepted.

If you have applied for provisional registration but haven't received the number yet, it's best to wait until you get it before submitting your INI CET application. Also, remember that during the final admission process, you will need to provide your permanent registration certificate.

Hope it helps !
