Prepare a checklist
This is one of the first steps in the direction of carving out the last 15-days preparation strategy for the INI CET 2025 exam. Candidates need to check what all have been covered completely and which topic needs some more attention. This will help them to make a strategy accordingly to complete all tasks in a systematic manner.
Commonly asked questions
A good number of questions were asked from topics such as Micro, Anatomy, Dermatology, Physiology etc. There were few questions from OBS Gynae, Ortho etc. Questions were one liner and concept based as well. There were fewer repeated questions this time. The overall difficulty level of the INI CET 2025 November question paper was moderate.
AIIMS releases INI CET pattern along with the information brochure. The question paper pattern comprises details about the mode, medium of the exam, total number of questions asked, type of questions, allotted time, and marking scheme. INI CET exam is held in computer-based mode in English medium. According to INI CET 2025 paper pattern, a total of 200 multiple choice questions are asked and candidates get 3 hours to answer them. Candidates get 1 mark for every right answer while -1/3 for every wrong answer. It must be noted that the official question paper and answer key are not released for INI CET exam.
Yes, there will be negative marking in INI CET 2026 exam. According to INI CET pattern, -1/3 mark will be deducted for every wrong answer. For right answer, +1 mark will be awarded to candidates. Candidates are advised to answer only those questions where they feel confident of answer as negative marking may put toll on overall score. INI CET 2026 July session is scheduled to be held on May 16 in computer-based mode.
Revise vigorously
The last few days must be dedicated for thorough revision. Whatever has been studied till date, must be revised to retain them for a longer period of time. One must aim for at least two revisions before INI CET 2025 November exam which will boost your confidence. Try to revise in combinations like a lengthy topic with a smaller one and any other combinations whatever suits you. Time should be managed in a manner so that every topic of INI CET Nov 2025 syllabus gets revised before the D-day.
Study with prepared notes
Those notes which were prepared during the initial days of INI CET 2025 preparation prove very handy while doing revision. These self-made topic-wise notes contain important points which help candidates to remember facts easily. Rather than studying the whole material again for revision, candidates get an insight of the whole topic through these highlights in the notes.
Commonly asked questions
INI CET analysis comprises complete dissection of question paper including difficulty level, repeated questions, weightage from different topic, and other details. INI CET analysis is prepared based on memory-based questions asked from students who appear in the exam. The memory based questions are reviewed by experts and releases unofficial answer key solutions. Exam analysis helps aspirants to get an idea about overall difficulty level of the exam, so that they can make preparation plan accordingly. It must be noted AIIMS doesn't release official question paper and answer key solution for INI CET exam.
AIIMS doesn't release the sectional weightage for INI CET exam. However, experts believe clinical section comprises maximum weightage in the exam especially medicine and surgery.

Practice mock test
A mock test is something that helps candidates to do reality check of their preparation. It is like testing yourself against whatever you have learned. Practice mock test at regular intervals and evaluate your score. Do an honest analysis each time after finishing the mock test. This will help candidates to work on their weak areas.
Check previous year question papers
The previous year's question paper provides candidates an insight into the INI CET 2025 exam. Candidates get to know about INI CET 2025 pattern and the type of questions. As INI CET was held for the first time in November 2020, candidates can check the previous three years’ PG question papers of AIIMS Delhi, JIPMER, PGIMER, and NIMHANS. This exercise will help candidates to get an idea about the topic from which more questions are asked.
Don’t try to learn new concepts
This is completely no before the exam. One month before the exam, candidates should not focus their energy on learning new concepts, rather they should aim for polishing whatever been studied to date. Learning a new concept will take lots of time which could be used for other important tasks related to the revision part. Fine-tuning already learned concepts is more important than starting something new.
Get your doubts cleared
Doubts are something that jeopardises the whole preparation strategy. As INI CET 2025 is PG level entrance test that tests candidates’ thorough knowledge of concepts, candidates must clear doubts. Candidates could seek the advice of seniors, professors, or any other colleague to make them understand doubt in any particular topic.
No need to be in study mode always, relax and unwind too
This is the time when candidates need to fine-tune things for the INI CET 2025 and they don’t need to be in the study mode always. Ideally, candidates should study 6-8 hours a day with proper strategy. That is enough. Studying with full concentration with a small break in between. It is very important to let the mind relax too. Candidates must find some time to do what he/she wants to do I.e listening favourite music or watching shows on TV etc.
