MAMC is a good option and well-recognized in the medical fraternity. You won’t regret joining the institute. Also, in medical field, your institute name won’t matter much. If you want to pursue higher studies after graduation, you need to follow the same steps, irrespective of whether you are graduating from AIIMS or MAMC.
After joining MAMC, you also have the option to prepare for AIIMS next year. It will be difficult, but doable.
You need to understand that entrance examination do not test your knowledge. It is also not in place to select meritorious students. Entrance exams are there to eliminate students.
Anyone who is in the top 100/200, mostly kave the same knowledge. The entrance actually tests your MCQ solving ability. It’s not about knowing every answer. It is rather about eliminating the wrong answers and making a good educated guess.
You don’t need to master every subject to score well. Figure out a strategy that works best for you. It does not matter whether you get a Physics question right or a GK question, you will get the same marks, so play to your strengths. Practice as many previous year questions as you can. Also, if you can’t figure out a particular question, leave it. Strategize well and practice hard and you can definitely crack AIIMS entrance.
In order to qualify for AIIMS Delhi, you must secure a minimum 50th percentile if you belong to the general category. Further, the cut off will vary as per your performance in the entrance exam.
The cutoff for admission varies from year to year. If you are getting around 135 to 140, then there is a 50% chance of cracking the exam. However, if you have scored higher than 140, you can get admitted without much difficulty.
Last year, one shift of the exam was quite tough whereas another shift was easy. This played a major role in deciding the cut off as 133 was required from students of 1st shift whereas for the other shift, 143 was the minimum requisite.
A score of 145 would get you significantly close to admission but a score of 140 can get you hoping. Admission also depends on how you analyze yourself and how confident you are in your choices.
The OPDs of most of the departments of AIIMS Delhi is suspended and the elective procedure has been delayed. For this reason, most of the staff is focusing on medicine. All the MBBS classes and postings have either been postponed or suspended. The classes are being held online.
AIIMS Delhi has taken every stop to combat the Covid pandemic. The interns and the residents, even the non-clinical ones are working very hard for the betterment of the situation.
If you're studying to become a doctor and are interested in ophthalmology, you might be curious about the experience of studying at AIIMS Delhi which can also work as a motivating factor for you. Here are some reasons why AIIMS Delhi might be a great place to learn:
In summary, studying at AIIMS Delhi can provide you with a unique and valuable learning experience. You'll see a wide range of cases, learn from accurate diagnoses, participate in serious academic rounds, follow internationally accepted treatment guidelines, avoid making mistakes through repeated patient scrutiny, and learn from excellent faculty. All of these factors combined can help you become a highly skilled and competent physician.
I know people who used to score around 480 and got admission to AIIMS Delhi. Concept clarity, practice, and consistent hard work can help you score better. AIATS is a good yardstick for judging your preparation, but it doesn’t necessarily have to define you. You can use your score to motivate yourself and study more. But AIATS scores aren’t the ultimate indicator of your performance on the day.
Life at AIIMS Delhi is a mix of academics, extracurricular and various events. The campus experience is enviable.
For first year students, this is what life looks like at AIIMS, Delhi.
Medical Council of India (MCI) has guidelines that the minimum age of a student must be 17 years as of 31st December of the admission year.
For example, if you have taken admission in 2021, then you must be 17 years old before 31st December 2021.
The highest age limit is similarly 25 years old. Of course, there are age relaxations on the upper limit based on the reservation system. But most of the students would be in the age range of 17-19 years old.
I would say that roughly 30% - 40% of the students are 17 years old and the rest are 18, 19, or 20 years old. The majority of the students are either fresh out of school or 1-year drop students.
My brother has gone to both the US as well as the UK during his MBBS at AIIMS Delhi. The caveat is that the trips are expensive, as expected. So either you can spend it on your own or get a sponsorship from the ICMR research grant.
To get ICMR research funding you need to do some good research on your field and then convince ICMR through some conferences regarding why you need to secure some funding for the project. If they get convinced of the same and your request is approved, you do not need to spend a penny for your trip.
Currently, there are a total of 22 AIIMS in the country which are in various stages of operations out of which 9 are fully operational and most of the others have either started the classes or are partially functioning.
In terms of outstation trips neither AIIMS Delhi nor any of the other AIIMS conduct any such activities for their students officially. The Shimla trip done for freshers of AIIMS Delhi is conducted by the Student Welfare Union of AIIMS Delhi which is a student body. Most of the other AIIMS, as you would know, are new institutes and are still in the process of creating such traditions for their students which AIIMS Delhi, being the oldest of them all, already has. So most of them including mine, AIIMS Jodhpur, currently do not have any such outstation trips planned.
