INI-CET eligibility should be checked for the exact course and candidature category before applying. The medical or dental qualification and internship/registration conditions applicable to the selected programme.
Eligibility checklist
| Check | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Qualification | The medical or dental qualification and internship/registration conditions applicable to the selected programme. |
| Course or paper | The relevant medical or dental postgraduate route |
| Marks and subjects | Use the qualifying examination, subject combination and minimum marks specified for your category. |
| Other conditions | Check applicable age, domicile, registration, internship or experience conditions. |
| Evidence | Relevant MBBS/BDS records, internship and professional registration certificates |
A course-specific check matters
Read both the common INI-CET prospectus and the participating institute’s rules. A condition at one INI may differ at another.
Before paying the fee
Compare the wording of your qualification and certificates with the official eligibility clause. If a result, internship or experience period is incomplete, check its exact cut-off date rather than assuming that completion before classes begin is enough. Ask the authority through its official helpdesk when the bulletin does not resolve your situation.
Official resources
Use the latest notice for your course and session. Later corrections or revised schedules take priority over an earlier bulletin.
