The acronym for the Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test is INI CET. Admission to postgraduate courses such as Masters of Surgery (MS), Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Dental Surgery (MDS), Doctorate of Medicine (DM), and Master of Chirurgiae (MCh) is determined by the entrance exam administered by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. 16 AIIMS, JIPMER Puducherry, PGI Chandigarh, NIMHANS, Bengaluru, and SCTIMST, Trivandrum accept INI CET scores for admission. Prior to 2021, each of these institutions administered its own admission exam; however, AIIMS Delhi will henceforth administer the INI CET exam. Twice a year, in January and July, the exam is given.
