Questions Asked On AIIMS Delhi, New Delhi

How much marks should I score in the AIIMS entrance exam to secure an MBBS seat in AIIMS Delhi?

Muskan Shafi Posted On : March 30th, 2024

AIIMS Delhi doesn’t conduct its own entrance exam for MBBS, instead, it accepts NEET UG for admission to MBBS on an All-India basis. Being the top choice for medical aspirants in India for MBBS, AIIMS Delhi has an extremely high cutoff for all the categories. The marks required for securing a seat for MBBS at AIIMS Delhi vary each year depending on various factors such as the number of seats, the number of candidates appearing, the difficulty level of the exam, and the previous year's cutoffs. 

To get a seat for MBBS at AIIMS Delhi, candidates from the general category must aim to score 710+ in NEET UG to be on the safer side for admission. Students from the general category must aim to have an All-India rank within the top 50 to have a sure chance for admission. For reserved categories such as EWS and OBC, candidates must aim to score above 690+ for admission to MBBS at AIIMS Delhi. SC and ST candidates should aim to score 675+ for admission to MBBS at AIIMS Delhi. 

Candidates can also check AIIMS Delhi Cutoff in 2023 for MBBS for different categories to get an estimate about the expected cutoff rank in 2024:

I am now in MAMC Delhi. Should I drop this year to get into AIIMS Delhi? I am sure to get selected next year.

SS
Shwetha S Posted On : April 1st, 2024

AIIMS Delhi and MAMC Delhi are both the most reputed colleges in terms of academics and placements. AIIMS Delhi offers limited 125 seats annually which makes it really competitive to get admission. Although it is equally competitive to get into MAMC, the college offers a total of 250 seats annually for the MBBS program. 

Both institutions have well-experienced faculty, infrastructure and strong curriculum. Admission at AIIMS Delhi is not guaranteed unless one goes through counselling and secures the seat as AIIMS doesn’t offer management seats. 

MBBS curriculum is the same in both colleges. Hence, the college tag doesn’t matter however, everything is dependent on your skills, knowledge and learning during your internship posting where you utilize all your theoretical knowledge into practice. 

It is advisable for you to continue your education at MAMC without dropping out and wasting one year. Make the most of the resources available and you can always continue your PG studies at AIIMS Delhi by clearing INI CET. Also, AIIMS Delhi conducts INI CET twice a year i.e. January Session and July Session which provides you with an opportunity to appear at your desired time.

How was your first day at AIIMS Delhi?

PA
Puneet Aarya Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences

My friend shared her first-day experience at AIIMS Delhi which came out to be extremely unexpected and weird. She reached her department (surgery) and the professors briefly introduced the field. A professor guided the students throughout the campus. He enquired about their accommodation and told them they have to stay at the hospital 24/7.

He went on to tell how hectic their lives are about to become and there will be days they won't be able to get any sleep or food. He advised the students to always carry their food and stay hydrated. 

He told them about the AST or the AIIMS Standard Time which is 15 minutes ahead of the entire world. He further directed the students to the Ward and introduced them to the Senior Resident. On reaching the ward, 3 seniors were assigned to the group to guide them further. The students were assigned work that continued till evening.

My friend's roommate asked him if he wanted to join him for a campus tour to which he eagerly agreed. The walk through the campus was never ending as there were so many things to see. They spotted a barber salon on the campus and a coffee spot. There was also a 24/7 library and a late-night ice cream tuckshop.

Overall first day at AIIMS is unpredictable with a lot of surprises that might leave you anxious. But the excitement of making it into the dream college overshadows all such anxieties!

How does AIIMS Delhi treat a student who has cleared the AIIMS entrance exam on the 3rd attempt?

SK
Singdhanjan Kar Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences,New Delhi (2020)

Honestly speaking there is no distinction between those who cleared the AIIMS entrance exam on the 1st attempt or 3rd attempt. AIIMS Delhi just admits around 350 students over the period of 5 years leading to a family-like bond among all students. No one is outcasted or made to feel inferior just because of the number of attempts they took to clear the entrance. What matters is that eventually, you managed to get into AIIMS Delhi which in itself is a great feat. 

It's better you discard such negative thoughts and focus on your studies with positivity.

How did you react when you got into AIIMS Delhi?

VM
Vedant Mishra Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

Every student who is from a financially weak background with big dreams must have felt ethereal happiness on getting selected for AIIMS Delhi. The same was the case with my sister. 

Hailing from a middle-class family with limited funds to support her education, she was elated when she found out about her admission. She knew that getting into AIIMS was just the beginning and not the end of her dream, but getting into AIIMS Delhi in itself wasn’t a cakewalk. It brought her one step closer to her dreams. Today she has almost completed her degree and is on the verge of achieving her dream!

Which way is better, to do an MS general surgery and then take up neurosurgery as a superspeciality, or the direct 6yrs (Mch) Neurosurgery course (offered by AIIMS and NIMHANS) after an MBBS?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : September 30th, 2023

I’ll be sharing with you my opinion on both.

As a 6-year MCh candidate, you’ll rotate through 10 months of general surgery. However, general surgery skills aren’t of much use in Neurosurgery, except the very basic knot-tying and suturing skills. You can also acquire those from dedicated lab practice. The other techniques followed in Neurosurgery are very different from those followed in general surgery. 

Neurosurgeons generally use access surgeons (thoracic surgeons or urologists) to perform unconventional approaches to the spine. It is much safer for the patient. Also, opting for a 6-year course after MBBS means one less entrance exam.

So it isn’t very beneficial for you to take up 3 years of MS general surgery. I would recommend you choose the direct 6 year Mh Neurosurgery course at AIIMS or NIMHANS instead.

How is the life of medicine PG in AIIMS Delhi? Is this the best for MD medicine?

SN
Shivam Negi Posted On : May 30th, 2023
MD Medicine at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi

The exact word to describe the life of a PG student in AIIMS Delhi is ‘hectic’. The MD Medicine program is quite challenging and tiring. A typical day in the life of a first-semester resident doing Medicine at AIIMS can be described as follows-

  • You will have to wake up as early as 6:30 am and reach for work by 7. Managing to have your breakfast is a great achievement.
  • You will have to reach your war and start sampling assigned by your seniors before 10 AM as no samples are accepted after 10.
  • Next, you will start preparing for the clinical rounds and go through files and reports and be ready to present them to the consultant during rounds. These rounds are very tiring and sometimes extend till the afternoon. However, it's from these rounds that you will be gaining hands-on experience and learning new things every day
  • Once the rounds end, you'll have to do tasks related to what you learned from the rounds. This may involve doing a bone marrow/ lumbar puncture/ pleural tap etc or fetching some reports.
  • In the evening you will be going through the morning reports and discussing and planning the future plan for your patient. During this, you have to write notes in the clinical files.
  • After this, it will be dinner time that marks the end of your work routine. 

Additionally, there will be OPDs every third day, and Radio-conferences, clinical case discussion classes, Journal clubs, etc. Once you become a senior, things will be easier and you will have more time to study and involve yourself in academic activities.

Coming to your second question, well AIIMS Medicine is considered the best in the whole of India. What makes it the best is its extremely qualified faculty, genius seniors, and excellent infrastructure. The institute mostly deals with diagnostic dilemmas referred from everywhere and this offers a fun and fulfilling experience to students in taking their case to a diagnosis.

The real-time experience you will be getting just in the first year is undoubtedly the best one could ask for. Another major highlight of AIIMS is its diagnostics. You can get almost any investigation/ radiological procedure to back up your diagnosis. 

Overall, as an MD student at AIIMS, you will surely experience a hectic life but the gratitude of your patients will leave you with a feeling of satisfaction.
