4,717 Qualify in AIIMS INI SS January 2027 Stage I Result: Check DM, MCh Lists Now

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, has declared the INI SS January 2027 Stage I result on October 31, and 4,717 candidates have made it to the next round. The result covers admission to super-speciality DM and MCh courses at Institutes of National Importance across India. If you sat for the exam on October 24, your roll number is either on the qualified list or it is not, and the official PDF on aiimsexams.ac.in is the only place that settles it.

INI SS is the common entrance test for super-speciality seats. One exam feeds DM, MCh, and MD (Hospital Administration) admissions at AIIMS New Delhi and other AIIMS institutes, JIPMER Puducherry, PGIMER Chandigarh, NIMHANS Bengaluru, and SCTIMST Thiruvananthapuram. For doctors who have finished their MD or MS, this is the gateway to the next level of specialisation, which is why the result draws so much attention every session.

3,089 for DM and 1,628 for MCh across 84 specialities

Out of the qualified candidates, 3,089 are on the DM list across 61 specialities, while 1,628 are on the MCh list across 23 specialities. Together, that makes 84 specialities in all. The result is published as a roll number-wise list of provisionally qualified candidates for each course, so you will not find a personal scorecard with marks in this notification. The word “provisionally” matters here. Your place on the list is subject to verification of your eligibility and documents in the rounds that follow.

Stage I itself was a computer-based paper of 80 multiple-choice questions, to be finished in 90 minutes. Candidates needed 50 percent, or 40 out of 80, to qualify. That cut-off is fixed in the exam pattern, so there is no separate category-wise qualifying mark to wait for at this stage. If your roll number appears in the PDF, you have cleared that bar.

Students tracking other medical admission news this week can also check the INI CET January 2027 admit card, since that exam is being held today, November 1. For the full list of declared scores and hall tickets, visit the results section.

Check your roll number in the official PDF

Do not trust screenshots or forwarded lists on social media. A single wrong digit in a forwarded image can send you into a panic for nothing, or give you false hope. Go to the source and check it yourself. The whole process takes two minutes.

Follow these steps:

• Open the official AIIMS exams portal and go to the Results and Announcements section
• Look for the notification titled “List of Provisionally qualified candidates in INI-SS DM/M.Ch. Entrance Examination for the January 2027 Session”
• Open the result PDF and press Ctrl + F on your keyboard
• Type your examination roll number and check whether it appears in the list
• Download the PDF and save a copy, since you will need it during the next rounds

If your roll number is missing, read the PDF carefully before you conclude anything. The lists are course-wise and speciality-wise, so make sure you are searching in the right section for your DM or MCh course.

“Stage I only opens the door. The departmental assessment decides the final seat, so qualified candidates should start preparing for Stage II right away.”

What Stage II means for AIIMS and PGIMER candidates

Clearing Stage I is only half the journey for candidates who applied to AIIMS or PGIMER Chandigarh. They now face Stage II, a departmental assessment conducted through video conferencing. This round carries 20 marks and tests your knowledge in the super-speciality you chose. Your final merit position depends on your combined score across Stage I and Stage II, and you need at least 50 percent in total to feature in the final merit list.

Candidates who applied to JIPMER, NIMHANS, and SCTIMST follow a different path from here. Those institutes run their own counselling schedules based on the Stage I score. Stage II dates and seat allotment notices for the January 2027 session are expected on aiimsexams.ac.in, and the portal is where they will appear first.

Keep your documents ready before the next notice

Super-speciality counselling moves fast once the merit list is out, and document trouble at the last minute is the most avoidable reason to lose a seat. Pull together your MBBS and MD or MS degree certificates, registration certificate, photo ID, and the Stage I result PDF printout now, while you have time. Check that the name on your ID matches the name on your application, because a mismatch can stall verification.

If you qualified, start your Stage II preparation with your own subject, not with general reading. The departmental assessment tests depth in your chosen speciality, so recent guidelines, common procedures, and case-based reasoning in your field will serve you better than broad revision. And if you did not qualify this time, remember that INI SS runs twice a year, in January and July sessions, so the next cycle is only months away. Use the gap to close the specific gaps this attempt exposed, rather than starting from scratch.

The January 2027 session now moves to its decisive phase. For 4,717 candidates, the result on October 31 was good news. What happens next depends on how well they use the weeks before Stage II and counselling.
