The last academic session, the institute conducted their admissions on the basis of AIPMT ranks which was followed by a CET to fill a few vacant seats post-admission. This year, the CET has been announced in advance to avoid the anticipated downtime in admission process considering the postponement of AIPMT exam dates due to the cheating scandal, as mentioned by Dr. Jain.
