All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bhubaneswar

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bhubaneswar is a Government Institute of National Importance approved by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, and recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Its MBBS and B.Sc Nursing intake runs entirely through NEET UG 2026, while its postgraduate medical and dental seats (MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh) are filled through INI-CET. The bullet list below captures the most recent, dated milestones an aspirant must act on for the 2026 admission cycle, with the single most time-critical deadline first.

• NEET UG 2026 re-exam held on 21 June 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the original NEET UG 2026 paper of 3 May 2026 and conducted a re-examination on 21 June 2026; no fresh registration or extra fee was charged and fresh admit cards were issued.
• NEET UG 2026 application window closed: Online applications were open from 8 February 2026 and the last date was extended to 11 March 2026 (fee payment till 11:50 PM). Fresh registration is no longer open for the 2026 cycle.
• INI-CET July 2026 exam held on 16 May 2026: For MD/MS/MDS/DM/MCh admission at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, the INI-CET July 2026 session registration ran from 28 March to 25 April 2026, admit cards were released on 9 May 2026, and the exam was conducted on 16 May 2026 (as of July 2026).
• NEET UG 2026 result and counselling: Result declaration and the MCC All India Quota counselling schedule that governs AIIMS Bhubaneswar seat allotment are to be announced; aspirants should track mcc.nic.in.
• B.Sc Nursing 2026: Admission to the B.Sc Nursing programme proceeds through NEET UG 2026 as listed for AIIMS Bhubaneswar; counselling dates are to be announced.

The most important takeaway as of July 2026 is that the NEET UG 2026 examination phase is complete (re-exam 21 June 2026) and the decisive action now shifts to result and MCC counselling registration. PG aspirants targeting AIIMS Bhubaneswar have already cleared the INI-CET July 2026 exam stage. Keep mcc.nic.in and aiimsexams.ac.in bookmarked, as every seat-allotment and document-verification date for AIIMS Bhubaneswar will be published there.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bhubaneswar Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility at AIIMS Bhubaneswar is defined strictly by programme level, and the institute does not run any separate management or direct-entry quota. The table below sets out, for every programme our listing carries, the academic prerequisite, the qualifying-marks condition, and the single national entrance exam that gates admission. This answers the most common applicant question - "Am I even eligible to apply to AIIMS Bhubaneswar?" - before you spend time and fee on an application. Read each row top to bottom: the entrance exam column tells you which test score the institute will actually use to rank you. Where a fee or session-specific relaxation is not officially confirmed, we have deliberately left it out rather than guess.

The clearest takeaway is that AIIMS Bhubaneswar funnels its flagship MBBS and B.Sc Nursing entry through NEET UG, while every clinical PG and super-specialty seat (MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh) depends on a valid INI-CET score. PhD and M.Sc Nursing follow AIIMS-specific eligibility norms that you must confirm against the official notification. Before applying, verify that your internship/registration status is complete by the cut-off date, as an incomplete internship is the most frequent reason PG applications are rejected at the document-verification stage.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This section translates eligibility into live application status for the 2026 cycle so you know exactly which doors are still open as of July 2026. The table lists each programme, whether its application stage is currently open or closed, the verified seat count where we have it, the admission mode, and the accepted exam. The most important confirmed seat figure is the MBBS intake of 125 seats at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. For seats we cannot verify from an official source, the row reads "to be announced" rather than carrying an invented number.

The practical takeaway is that the UG application phase for 2026 has ended, so MBBS and B.Sc Nursing aspirants should now focus exclusively on result and MCC counselling registration rather than the application form. With only 125 MBBS seats, AIIMS Bhubaneswar is highly competitive and choice-filling strategy matters enormously. PG (MD/MS/MDS/DM/MCh) candidates have cleared the INI-CET stage and must watch aiimsexams.ac.in for the counselling and seat-matrix release.

Application Fees

Two distinct fees apply at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, and confusing them is a common error: the entrance/application fee paid to the conducting body (NTA for NEET UG, AIIMS for INI-CET) is separate from the institute's tuition/programme fee charged after admission. The table below lists the application fee for each category on its own row so reserved-category applicants are not misled by a single blanket figure. These are the conducting-body fees for the 2026 cycle; the institute's own MBBS/PG tuition fee is not separately confirmed in our records and must be checked on the official AIIMS Bhubaneswar website. Read the "Category" column carefully, because OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST and PwD amounts differ.

The key takeaway is that the NEET UG 2026 fee is non-refundable across all categories, so apply only when your eligibility is confirmed. For NEET UG, General candidates pay Rs 1,700, EWS and OBC-NCL Rs 1,600, and SC/ST/PwD Rs 1,000; for the INI-CET July 2026 PG route, General/OBC pay Rs 4,000 and SC/ST/EWS pay Rs 3,200. Remember these are exam-application fees only - confirm the institute's actual MBBS/PG tuition fee on the official AIIMS Bhubaneswar source before you plan finances.

Entrance Exam Requirements

AIIMS Bhubaneswar accepts exactly two national entrance exams, and which one you sit depends purely on your programme level. The table below maps each exam to its programmes, the verified 2026 exam date, and the score/rank band that is realistically competitive for a seat here. This directly answers "Which exam do I need for AIIMS Bhubaneswar and what rank should I target?" The competitive band reflects this institute's own closing ranks rather than a generic national average, so treat it as a benchmark specific to AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Dates shown are verified from the conducting bodies for the 2026 session.

The clearest message is that NEET UG is the only gateway to MBBS at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, and the General-category closing rank of 785 in 2025 shows how sharp the competition is for its 125 seats. PG aspirants must clear INI-CET, where the cut-offs swing widely by clinical specialty, so consult the official INI-CET seat matrix rather than a single threshold. Build your target around AIIMS Bhubaneswar's actual closing ranks listed in the next section, not a generic national qualifying mark.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

This is the section most MBBS aspirants come for: the actual NEET UG All India closing ranks at which categories were admitted to AIIMS Bhubaneswar. The table presents year-wise closing ranks for 2024 and 2025, with 2026 marked to be announced because counselling for the 21 June 2026 re-exam is still pending as of July 2026. Use the trend to gauge how tight your rank needs to be; the lower (numerically smaller) the closing rank, the harder the seat is to secure. Persons with Disability (PwD) sub-category ranks are listed separately because they behave very differently from the general pool.

The standout trend is that the General closing rank tightened only modestly between 2024 (655) and 2025 (785), confirming that AIIMS Bhubaneswar remains a top-band General preference where you realistically need an All India rank inside the top ~800. The reserved-category picture is more dynamic: SC closing improved sharply from 7,879 in 2024 to 2,010 in 2025, signalling rising competition, while OBC firmed up from 1,278 to 1,017. ST remained the most accessible at roughly 24,000. Treat 2026 figures as pending and watch MCC seat-allotment results once published.

Counselling Process

Admission to MBBS and B.Sc Nursing at AIIMS Bhubaneswar is conducted through the All India Quota counselling run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) on mcc.nic.in, not through any institute-level direct admission. The step-by-step flow for the 2026 cycle is as follows:

1. NEET UG result and qualification: Qualify NEET UG 2026 (re-exam held 21 June 2026) and obtain your All India Rank; result date to be announced.
2. MCC registration and fee payment: Register on mcc.nic.in for All India Quota counselling and pay the registration/security fee (dates to be announced).
3. Choice filling and locking: Add and prioritise "AIIMS Bhubaneswar - MBBS" (or B.Sc Nursing) in your preference list, then lock your choices before the deadline.
4. Seat allotment: MCC runs Round 1, Round 2, and a Mop-Up/Stray-vacancy round; seats are allotted by NEET rank, category and locked preferences.
5. Document verification and reporting: Report to the allotted institute with original documents for verification.
6. Admission fee payment and admission: Pay the institute admission fee and complete formalities to confirm your seat.

For PG programmes (MD, MS, MDS, DM, MCh), the parallel flow runs through the AIIMS/INI-CET counselling on aiimsexams.ac.in after the 16 May 2026 INI-CET July session: registration, choice filling, merit-based seat allotment, document verification and reporting. Because all dates above are to be announced as of July 2026, verify each step against the official MCC and AIIMS notifications before acting.

Important Dates (2026)

This master schedule consolidates every canonical milestone of the AIIMS Bhubaneswar 2026 admission cycle, anchored to the NEET UG 2026 timeline that governs MBBS and B.Sc Nursing entry. Each event carries a verified date where the conducting body has published one, and reads "to be announced" where it has not, so nothing is invented. Use the Status column to see at a glance what is already complete versus what still lies ahead as of July 2026. This is the single table to bookmark and check against official sources as result and counselling dates firm up.

The single most important upcoming deadline is the NEET UG 2026 result declaration, since it triggers the entire MCC counselling chain that decides AIIMS Bhubaneswar admission. As of July 2026 the application, admit card and exam stages are complete, and the action items still ahead are result, counselling registration, choice locking, seat allotment and document verification. Set alerts on mcc.nic.in and ntaneet.nic.in so you do not miss the registration window once dates are published.
