Unlike NEET PG, INI-CET rank alone determines seat allotment through one centralized counselling round across all participating institutes - there is no separate state/quota-based counselling layer since every seat is pooled under a single process.
The official notification for this cycle hasn’t been released yet, so there’s nothing to verify against - everything above is an estimate based on past years. Always confirm on the official website once it’s released.
