INI CET - the Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test, commonly written INI-CET - is a postgraduate medical entrance examination used for admission to MD, MS, MDS and related postgraduate programmes at India's Institutes of National Importance, a group that includes the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) institutions. It is aimed at medical and dental graduates who already hold a recognised MBBS or BDS degree (or an equivalent qualification) and who are competing for a limited number of residency seats; the score is used by the participating institutes for their own counselling and seat allocation. The paper is a single-session, computer-based multiple-choice examination. Its content spans the whole undergraduate medical curriculum, conventionally grouped into three blocks: pre-clinical subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry; para-clinical subjects such as Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine and Community Medicine; and clinical subjects, chiefly Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics and allied specialties. The INI CET study guide has 3 sections and about 1,080 words.
