Latest Admission Updates (2026)

As of June 2026, AIIMS New Delhi admissions are tracking the NTA's revised NEET UG 2026 calendar. Below are the most recent, dated developments every MBBS, B.Sc Nursing and PG aspirant targeting AIIMS New Delhi must act on right now.

• 21 June 2026 (most important): NTA has officially confirmed Sunday, 21 June 2026 as the NEET UG 2026 re-examination date, after the originally scheduled 3 May 2026 paper was cancelled on 12 May 2026. This is the single exam that decides MBBS entry to AIIMS New Delhi.
• 14 June 2026: NTA released the NEET UG 2026 re-exam admit card on neet.nta.nic.in; candidates download it using registration number and date of birth.
• 24 June 2026: The NEET UG 2026 provisional answer key and OMR response sheets are expected to be released, followed by a paid objection window.
• 2nd to 3rd week of July 2026 (expected): NEET UG 2026 result and All India Rank declaration. AIIMS New Delhi's 132 MBBS seats are filled only after this.
• July 2026 (expected): MCC (mcc.nic.in) is expected to begin NEET UG 2026 counselling once results are out; AIIMS New Delhi MBBS seats are allotted entirely through this All India Quota counselling.
• 27 June 2026: AIIMS conducts its own AIIMS B.Sc Nursing 2026 entrance exam for the 60 Nursing seats; the AIIMS B.Sc Nursing result is expected by 5 July 2026.
• 16 May 2026: The INI-CET July 2026 session exam (gateway to AIIMS New Delhi MD, MS and MDS) was held by AIIMS; registration had opened on 30 March 2026.

The takeaway as of June 2026: there is no application window currently open for AIIMS New Delhi MBBS - the NEET UG 2026 form closed on 11 March 2026, so aspirants who already applied must now focus on the 21 June 2026 re-exam and the July 2026 MCC counselling registration. Bookmark neet.nta.nic.in for the result and mcc.nic.in for counselling, and keep documents ready so you can register the moment the AIIMS New Delhi seat matrix goes live.

All India Institute of Medical Sciences New Delhi Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

This section answers the most common AIIMS New Delhi query: "Am I eligible to apply, and through which exam?" AIIMS New Delhi runs no separate institutional entrance test for its degrees except B.Sc Nursing - every other programme rides on a national exam (NEET-UG for MBBS, INI-CET for MD/MS/MDS, INI-SS for DM/MCh). The table below maps each AIIMS New Delhi programme to its base eligibility, the minimum qualifying marks AIIMS New Delhi recognises, and the accepted entrance exam. Read it row by row to confirm both your qualifying degree and the gateway exam before you spend a rupee on an application.

The key takeaway for 2026: meeting the minimum percentage only makes you eligible to sit the exam - it does not secure an AIIMS New Delhi seat, which is decided purely by rank. For MBBS aspirants, note the strict 17-25 year age band and the 50% PCB floor (relaxed minimums for reserved categories follow the official NEET notification, so verify your exact figure there rather than assuming). PG aspirants should confirm internship completion dates against the INI-CET counselling cut-off. Your next step is to match your category and qualifying marks to the relevant exam and move straight to the application-fee and cutoff sections below.

Course-Wise Admission Status

Aspirants frequently ask which AIIMS New Delhi courses are open for 2026 intake and how many seats each carries. The snapshot below lists every major AIIMS New Delhi programme with its current 2026 application status, sanctioned seats, admission mode, and the exam that feeds it. It matters because AIIMS New Delhi's seat counts are small and fiercely contested - 125 MBBS seats for Indian nationals (132 total including 7 foreign-national seats) and just 60 B.Sc Nursing seats - so knowing the intake helps you gauge how steep your rank needs to be.

The headline trend for 2026 is that MBBS admission timelines have slipped because of the NEET re-exam, so all AIIMS New Delhi MBBS counselling activity now sits in July 2026 rather than the usual June. PG aspirants (MD/MS/MDS) have already cleared the INI-CET hurdle and now wait on AIIMS counselling rounds. Whatever your programme, the practical next step is the same: keep tracking the conducting body's portal daily, because AIIMS New Delhi seats often fill within the first one or two counselling rounds given the tiny intake.

Application Fees

A frequent point of confusion is the difference between the exam application fee (paid to the conducting body - NTA for NEET, AIIMS for INI-CET and Nursing) and the AIIMS New Delhi tuition/programme fee (paid to the institute after admission). This section separates the two clearly. The table lists the 2026 application fee for each category on its own row so you can see exactly what you owe at the form stage; AIIMS New Delhi's famously low tuition is covered separately afterwards. Read the "Programme / Exam" column first, then find your category row.

Two takeaways. First, the application fees above are non-refundable and were unchanged year over year for 2026 (NEET General held at Rs 1,700; INI-CET General at Rs 4,000), so budget accordingly. Second, these are tiny compared with what you save at AIIMS New Delhi later: the institute's tuition/programme fees are among the lowest in India - roughly Rs 7,500 for the full MBBS, Rs 5,000 for B.Sc Nursing, Rs 15,000 each for MD/MS/MDS, Rs 20,000 each for DM/MCh, Rs 10,000 for PhD and Rs 5,000 for M.Sc Nursing. The real "cost" of an AIIMS New Delhi seat is the rank, not the rupees, so direct your energy at the cutoff section next.

Entrance Exam Requirements

This section answers "which exam do I need for AIIMS New Delhi and what score actually gets me in?" AIIMS New Delhi accepts only national exams: NEET-UG for MBBS, the institute-run AIIMS Nursing test for B.Sc Nursing, INI-CET for MD/MS/MDS, and INI-SS for DM/MCh. Because AIIMS New Delhi is the country's most sought-after medical institute, the competitive score here is far higher than the bare qualifying mark. The table pairs each exam with the AIIMS New Delhi programme it feeds, the confirmed 2026 exam date, and the rank/score band that is realistically competitive at this campus.

The clear message for 2026: at AIIMS New Delhi, "qualifying" and "getting in" are worlds apart. A General-category MBBS aspirant needs an All India Rank inside roughly the top 50 (around 680 marks or higher), and INI-CET aspirants typically need single-digit or low double-digit ranks for popular AIIMS New Delhi MD/MS branches. Note the dates carefully - the NEET-UG paper is the 21 June 2026 re-exam, not the cancelled 3 May sitting. Your next move is to study the year-wise cutoffs below to set a realistic target.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

The cutoff is the heart of any AIIMS New Delhi admissions decision, so this section answers "what closing rank do I need?" with hard year-wise numbers. The table shows AIIMS New Delhi MBBS NEET-UG closing ranks by category across 2023, 2024 and 2025 (the 2026 closing ranks will only be known after the July 2026 MCC counselling). These are the final-round closing ranks at which the last candidate in each category secured an AIIMS New Delhi MBBS seat - the lower the number, the tougher the competition. Use them to benchmark your own expected AIR.

The trend is unmistakable and brutal: AIIMS New Delhi's General-category closing rank has barely moved off the top - 50 in 2023, tightening to 47 in 2024 and holding at 48 in 2025 - meaning you essentially need a near-perfect score regardless of how hard the paper is. The SC closing rank actually improved (became more competitive) from 718 in 2023 to 644 in 2025, reflecting rising preparation standards in reserved categories, while OBC-NCL hovered in the 186-212 band. For 2026, expect the General closing rank to again sit in the high-40s to low-50s; if your projected AIR is outside that window, line up strong backup AIIMS or government colleges. Your next step is to understand exactly how counselling converts your rank into a seat.

Counselling Process

AIIMS New Delhi MBBS admission is conducted under 100% All India Quota through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) - there is no state quota and no direct AIIMS application after NEET. Follow these steps for the 2026 cycle:

1. NEET-UG result and rank (expected 2nd-3rd week of July 2026): NTA declares your score and All India Rank after the 21 June 2026 re-exam.
2. MCC registration (expected July 2026): Register and pay the counselling/security fee on mcc.nic.in once the AIIMS New Delhi seat matrix is published.
3. Choice filling and locking: Add "AIIMS New Delhi - MBBS" as a preference and lock your choices in priority order; given its rank-1 status, list it at the very top.
4. Seat allotment (Round 1): MCC runs its algorithm and allots seats by rank and choice; AIIMS New Delhi typically closes within the earliest rounds.
5. Document verification and reporting: If allotted, report physically to AIIMS New Delhi with original documents for verification.
6. Admission fee payment and admission confirmation: Pay the institute fee (about Rs 7,500 for the full MBBS) to confirm your AIIMS New Delhi seat; subsequent mop-up rounds fill any vacancies.

For B.Sc Nursing the flow is similar but runs through AIIMS's own portal after the 27 June 2026 exam, while MD/MS/MDS seats are filled via INI-CET counselling rounds. Exact 2026 MCC counselling dates are released after the result, so monitor mcc.nic.in closely.

Important Dates (2026)

This master schedule pulls every milestone of the NEET-UG 2026 cycle - the exam that governs AIIMS New Delhi MBBS admission - into one place so you never miss a deadline. It matters because each event is sequential: miss the form or the correction window and there is no second chance until 2027. The "Status" column tells you what is already done versus what is still pending as of June 2026. Read it top to bottom and add the pending dates to your calendar immediately.

The big takeaway: the application phase is fully closed, so for AIIMS New Delhi 2026 every remaining action is downstream of your performance on 21 June 2026. The next hard deadline is the result in the second half of July 2026, immediately followed by MCC counselling registration - and AIIMS New Delhi seats can vanish in Round 1, so register on day one. Keep your NEET login, category certificate, and reporting funds ready well before the counselling window opens.
