The seat allotment result for INI CET Round 1 January 2026 is scheduled to be released on December 18, 2025. The expected release time is between 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM on the AIIMS Delhi website. Once the seat allotment is out for the first round, the reporting and seat acceptance will be conducted for all eligible students. It is important to mention that students have two options to choose from after they have been assigned seats in the first round. They can either choose to accept it and pay the acceptance fee for further admission rounds. Or they can choose to upgrade their seats for the next rounds of counselling.

However, the list of preferences submitted during the choice-filling process cannot be altered in any rounds of counselling. Therefore, the seats will be assigned according to the choices submitted by the students, even if a student chooses to upgrade their seats in the first round. The seat allotment process is conducted based on three things primarily- the choices filled by the students, seat availability for counselling admission, and the total number of participating colleges or institutes.
