However, the entrance exam, which was scheduled for May 08, 2021, got postponed to June 16, 2021, due to the COVID19 pandemic. Therefore, registered candidates shall now be issued their admit cards from June 09, 2021.

Furthermore, the last date to upload the scanned copy of Sponsored Certificate has been changed from May 08 to June 16, 2021, up to 5:00 pm.
While AIIMS had recently published the INI CET 2021 revised schedule, it created serious confusion and worry among students. Some of the INI CET aspirants are serving as COVID warriors or functioning as frontline workers. Appearing for exams under such conditions shall be extremely difficult for some students.
The Prime Minister’s Office had announced the postponement of the NEET PG 2021 examination by four months. This decision was taken to deal with two problems – the second wave of COVID19 and the scarcity of medical professionals. Invariably, INI CET aspirants assumed that AIIMS would also comply with this decision. However, AIIMS went onto announcing the revised schedule, compelling a large chunk of final-year MBBS students and INI CET aspirants to raise their concerns on social media.
