• NEET UG 2026 result declared (16 July 2026): The National Testing Agency published the NEET UG 2026 result. This score is the sole basis for MBBS admission to AIIMS Raipur, so qualified candidates should now prepare for MCC counselling.
• NEET UG 2026 counselling (expected August 2026, based on the 2025 schedule): The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) All India Quota registration for the 125 MBBS seats at AIIMS Raipur is expected to open in August 2026. Keep documents ready.

• NEET UG 2026 application window (closed 11 March 2026): Applications ran from 8 February 2026 to 11 March 2026, with a correction window from 12 to 14 March 2026. This window is now closed.

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

Eligibility at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur is tied to the specific programme and the entrance exam that gates it, not to any institute-level test. The table below maps every programme offered by AIIMS Raipur to its base eligibility, the qualifying-marks requirement where it exists, and the exact entrance exam accepted. Read it row by row: the qualifying exam in the last column is the gateway you must clear first, and the eligibility column tells you the academic background required to sit for it. This matters because applying without the exact stream or degree prerequisite leads to rejection at document verification, even with a strong rank.

The key takeaway is that AIIMS Raipur runs a fully exam-gated admission system: NEET for MBBS, the AIIMS-conducted entrance for nursing, INI-CET for MD/MS/MDS, INI-SS for DM/MCh, and the AIIMS PhD/entrance examination for research and public-health seats. Note that for MBBS a specific minimum aggregate is not separately published here beyond qualifying NEET-UG, so treat the NEET qualifying percentile as your threshold. Before you apply, verify the exact minimum percentage and category relaxations in the official prospectus for your programme, as these are set per notification.

Course-Wise Admission Status

Because AIIMS Raipur admits through several different exam cycles, each programme sits at a different stage of the 2026 calendar. The table below gives the live application status (as of July 2026), the sanctioned seats where recorded in our database, the admission mode, and the accepted exam for each course. Use it to see at a glance whether a window has closed, whether counselling is upcoming, and how many seats you are competing for. This is especially important for MBBS applicants, where 125 seats are filled centrally rather than by direct institute application.

The clear action point is that MBBS is the only programme with an open pathway left in the 2026 cycle, through MCC counselling for its 125 seats. All the postgraduate medical exams (INI-CET and INI-SS) have already concluded, so aspirants for those seats should now be tracking their respective counselling rounds. Where seats read "refer notification," the exact sanctioned intake is set in each year's official prospectus and should be confirmed there.

Application Fees

At All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur, there is no separate institute application fee for entrance-based admission; you pay the fee of the conducting body when you register for the relevant exam. The table below lists the NEET UG 2026 application fee on a separate row for each category, since OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD rates differ from the General rate. These fees are the exam/application charges paid to the National Testing Agency, and they are entirely distinct from the institute tuition fee (the MBBS programme fee on record is Rs 5,856, the latest available figure). Read the year column to confirm the cycle each fee belongs to.

The practical takeaway is to budget the NEET UG fee of Rs 1,700 (General), Rs 1,600 (EWS and OBC-NCL) or Rs 1,000 (SC, ST and PwD) when applying for the MBBS route, and to remember this is non-refundable and payable online only. Category-wise fees for the AIIMS-conducted entrance exams and the INI-CET/INI-SS were not separately verified for publication, so confirm those exact amounts in each exam's official notification before paying. Keep the institute tuition (Rs 5,856 for MBBS, the latest figure on record) separate in your planning, and verify the current-year tuition on the AIIMS Raipur website.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Every seat at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur is won through a specific entrance exam, and knowing the 2026 exam dates and a competitive score band helps you plan realistically. The table below pairs each accepted exam with the programme it feeds, the verified 2026 exam date, and a guide to what is competitive at AIIMS Raipur. The strongest signal comes from MBBS: because AIIMS Raipur is a top-tier institute, its NEET closing ranks are extremely low (in the low four figures for General), so aim well inside the national top ranks. Read the qualifying-score column as a directional benchmark, not a guaranteed threshold.

The bottom line is that MBBS aspirants must clear NEET (re-exam held 21 June 2026) and then achieve a rank comfortably inside the national leaders, because AIIMS Raipur's General closing rank sat around 1,376 in 2025. Postgraduate medical seats hinge on INI-CET (16 May 2026) for MD/MS/MDS and INI-SS (25 April 2026) for DM/MCh, both conducted by AIIMS. For PhD, MPH and M.Sc Nursing, the exam dates are set per notification, so watch aiimsexams.ac.in for the release.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

The single most-searched question about All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur is how low a NEET rank you need, and the verified 2025 closing ranks answer it directly. The table below shows the category-wise NEET UG closing ranks recorded for AIIMS Raipur in 2025, presented across two data points from the counselling rounds so you can see how ranks moved as seats filled. Read the General row first: a General-category candidate needed a rank at or better than roughly 1,235 to 1,376 to secure a seat. Reserved-category ranks are naturally higher because seats are allotted within each category pool.

The trend within 2025 is instructive: for General and OBC-NCL, the closing rank drifted slightly higher across rounds (General from 1,235 to 1,376; OBC-NCL from 1,914 to 2,016) as the AIIMS Raipur seat matrix filled and later rounds absorbed marginally lower-ranked candidates, which is the normal round-on-round loosening in AIQ counselling. The EWS closing rank of 2,631 and ST closing rank of 12,960 give reserved-category aspirants realistic targets. The 2026 closing ranks will only be fixed after MCC counselling concludes, so treat the 2025 figures as your planning benchmark and verify final 2026 cutoffs on mcc.nic.in.

Counselling Process

Admission to the 125 MBBS seats at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur is handled by the Medical Counselling Committee under the All India Quota, not by direct institute application. The step-by-step flow for 2026 (dates expected in August 2026 based on the 2025 schedule) is:

1. Qualify NEET UG 2026: Secure a valid NEET score from the exam (re-exam held 21 June 2026); the result was declared on 16 July 2026.
2. MCC registration (expected August 2026): Register on mcc.nic.in for All India Quota counselling and pay the counselling registration fee and refundable security deposit.
3. Choice filling and locking: Add "AIIMS Raipur" against your preferred programme in your choice list and lock your choices within the scheduled window.
4. Seat allotment: MCC runs the allotment based on NEET rank, category and preferences across its rounds; check your allotted seat on the portal.
5. Document verification and reporting: Report to AIIMS Raipur with original documents for verification and the mandatory medical examination as per the counselling schedule.
6. Admission fee payment and confirmation: Pay the institute fee (MBBS tuition on record is Rs 5,856, the latest figure) to confirm your seat and complete admission.

For the AIIMS-conducted entrance exams (B.Sc Nursing, MPH, M.Sc Nursing, PhD) and the INI-CET/INI-SS postgraduate cycles, counselling and seat allotment are managed through aiimsexams.ac.in rather than MCC, so follow the discipline-specific schedule in each notification.

Important Dates (2026)

Because MBBS admission to All India Institute of Medical Sciences Raipur is driven by NEET UG, the master calendar below is built around the verified NTA and MCC schedule for 2026. It lists every canonical event from application start through document verification, with the confirmed date and current status as of July 2026. Use it as your single checklist: events marked "completed" have passed, while the counselling rows are the ones still ahead of MBBS aspirants. Where an exact date is not yet published, the row reads "to be announced" so nothing is silently dropped.

The critical near-term milestone is the MCC counselling registration, expected in August 2026, since it is the only gateway left to the 125 MBBS seats at AIIMS Raipur. Postgraduate aspirants should note their own tracks are already ahead: INI-CET results came on 23 May 2026 and INI-SS results on 30 May 2026. Bookmark neet.nta.nic.in, mcc.nic.in and aiimsexams.ac.in and check daily during the counselling window, because MCC choice-locking deadlines are strict and non-negotiable.
