INI-CET Percentile vs Rank: Official Data From 4 Sessions
What rank does 99, 95 or 90 percentile get in INI-CET? Official percentile vs rank data from the January 2025 – July 2026 results, with the qualifying percentile.
Last updated By INI-CET.com Editorial · Published
"What rank will my percentile get?" is the first question every INI-CET aspirant asks after the exam. AIIMS New Delhi does not publish a percentile-to-rank chart, but it does publish the full list of qualified candidates with each one's overall rank and percentile. We read those official lists for the last four sessions and turned them into one table.
INI-CET percentile vs rank table
Each cell is the best overall rank printed against the published percentile nearest to the benchmark (that percentile is shown in brackets). Ranks are from the MD, MS, DM and MCh list; the MDS list has separate ranks.
| Percentile | July 2026 | July 2025 | January 2026 | January 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 99.9 | 95(99.898) | 90(99.9) | 56(99.904) | 58(99.9) |

For your exact percentile, the INI-CET rank predictor places it between the two nearest official points in each session and gives a range.
Percentile vs rank, all four sessions
Hover over or tap the chart to compare the four sessions at any percentile.
- January 2026
- January 2025
- July 2026
- July 2025
Why January ranks look better than July
A percentile compares you only with the candidates of your own session. In the official lists, the lowest qualifying percentiles were ranked around 31,000 in the January sessions and around 48,000 in the July sessions. With about half as many candidates again in July, every percentile maps to a larger rank number.
So compare like with like. If you are giving the January 2027 session, the January 2025 and January 2026 columns are your closest reference; the July columns describe a bigger field.
INI-CET qualifying percentile
The Prospectus Part-A for the January 2027 session sets the minimum percentile for admission as:
- 50th percentile for Unreserved (UR) seats, including OCI, and for EWS, Sponsored and Foreign National seats;
- 45th percentile for OBC, SC, ST and PwBD seats (and Bhutanese Nationals at PGIMER Chandigarh).
That is why the official lists stop at about the 45th percentile: below it, no candidate qualifies for any seat.
Percentile, marks and rank: what AIIMS publishes
The January 2027 paper has 200 questions in 180 minutes, with +1 for a correct answer and −1/3 for an incorrect one (no marks for unanswered questions), as printed in the prospectus. Your score card shows your own marks, but the public result lists show only rank and percentile.
Be careful with "marks vs rank" charts
AIIMS has not published marks against ranks in these lists. Any marks-to-rank table you see is someone's estimate, not official data. Percentile is the figure you can compare with official past ranks.
Estimate your rank and your options
- Enter your percentile in the rank predictor. Choose "January sessions" for the closest comparison, or all four sessions for a wider range.
- Take that rank to the college predictor to see which institutes and specialties were within reach in past rounds, including UR seats if you are from a reserved category.
- Check specific options round by round in the cutoff explorer, and read how to read INI-CET cutoffs before choice filling.

Does AIIMS publish INI-CET marks vs rank?
No. The official list of qualified candidates prints each candidate's overall rank and percentile, not marks. That is why percentile is the reliable way to compare with past ranks.
Why is the same percentile a better rank in January than in July?
Percentile compares you with the candidates of your own session. July sessions have had far more ranked candidates than January sessions, so the same percentile corresponds to a larger rank number in July.
