MedicalConducting Body
AIIMS New Delhi (now merged with NEET for MBBS)
Eligibility
10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology; minimum 60% aggregate; NEET qualified for MBBS; separate exams for PG and nursing
Exam Pattern
AIIMS is the most prestigious name in Indian medical education, and while MBBS admissions now happen through NEET counselling under the All India Quota, AIIMS still conducts its own entrance exams for postgraduate (MD/MS), B.Sc Nursing, and other programmes. The PG entrance has 200 MCQs to be completed in 3.5 hours, drawn from the respective medical specialisation, and is considered significantly harder than other PG medical entrances. For MBBS, a very high NEET score is required to secure a seat at any of the AIIMS institutes, with AIIMS New Delhi being the most competitive. Preparation for the PG entrance requires a solid foundation built during MBBS years, and most aspirants use resources like Marrow, PrepLadder, or DAMS test series. Getting into AIIMS for any programme is a life-changing achievement because the clinical exposure, faculty quality, and research infrastructure are unmatched in India. AIIMS residents and graduates are highly sought after for positions in top hospitals, research institutions, and international fellowships. The brand value of an AIIMS degree carries weight throughout your entire medical career.
