How to Fill Choices for AIIMS CRE-5 Seat Allocation 2026?

Choose your institutes and set the order of preference for each group code, based on your eligibility for the respective posts and institutes. Seats and institutes are allocated on merit cum choice, including your order of preference. The choice-filling link will be activated only for eligible candidates, on the candidate Dashboard at the official website. Log in with the same credentials you used for the CRE-5 application form and the later stages.

What Happens If You Miss AIIMS CRE-5 Choice Filling 2026?

  • If you fail to exercise your choice within the timeline, your candidature will be automatically cancelled without any further notice.
  • Such candidates forfeit all claims to the applied post, and no allocation rights will be available at any stage.
  • A candidate called for choice submission who does not submit any choices will be excluded from further recruitment stages, and the candidature will be summarily rejected.
  • If you choose only some of the available institutes, you will be considered only for the posts and institutes you selected, not for the ones you left out, even if seats are available there.

The notice does not state the number of seats. AIIMS says the guidelines, the number of seats and the eligibility criteria are on the official website, and that every later corrigendum, addendum or update will be uploaded only there, so check it regularly until your allocation is declared.

AIIMS CRE-5 Result 2026 Out: Group B & C Group-Wise Result Declared — Latest Update

Latest update (29 September 2026): AIIMS New Delhi has declared the CRE-5 result for six more Group Codes — 20, 28, 32, 33, 48 and 58. Group Code 20 (Personal Assistant / Stenographer / Private Secretary) and Group Code 28 (Assistant Security Officer) are lists of candidates called for the Stage-II Skill Test. Group Codes 32, 33, 48 and 58 are lists of candidates called to exercise choices for online seat allocation of institute. AIIMS said the schedule for both would be published separately. The seat allocation (choice filling) schedule has since been released under Notice No. 156/2026, covered in the latest update on this page; for the skill test, keep an eye on the official website.

Results for the other Group Codes were declared between 11 and 18 August 2026, after the CBT held from 25 to 27 July 2026. For those choice-filling groups, the choice window was 27 August to 05 September 2026 (up to 5:00 PM). When we checked the official result page on 29 September 2026, it listed 57 group-wise result notices; Group Codes 3 and 56 were not among them.

What the result notices say:

  • The result is provisional. It was declared on the basis of online registration without prior screening of eligibility, so candidature is still subject to the conditions of Notice No. 93/2026 dated 13.06.2026.
  • Skill test lists contain sixteen (16) times the category-wise seats advertised. Inclusion in any list does not guarantee employment. A candidate absent from the skill test will be treated as not qualified.
  • Choice filling is mandatory. A candidate who fails to exercise choices within the timeline will have the candidature automatically cancelled, and one who picks only some institutes will be considered only for those.
  • A candidate found ineligible at any stage (age, qualification, experience, category certificate or any other condition) will have the candidature cancelled even after seat allocation.
  • All PwBD candidates are subject to suitability and fitness by a medical board of the respective institute.
  • Individual marks will be shown on the candidate dashboard at the official website; for skill-test groups, only after the skill test.

How to check: open the official result page, pick your Group Code and open its PDF, then search your roll number. The lists are roll-number wise. To see your marks, log in to your dashboard on the official website with your existing registration credentials.
