What are your views regarding the scrapping of the AIIMS UG and the JIPMER UG exams from 2021?
I can not comment on JIPMER UG, but replacing AIIMS UG with NEET UG is not the best decision in my opinion.
I have given both the exams in my time, and NEET has a huge luck factor involved in it. Moreover, the AIIMS entrance was way tougher, especially the logical part, so it had a better differentiating ability.
Scoring in NEET is much easier, which is not good in my opinion. No entrance exam should allow a score of 700/720. Now a huge number of aspirants are scoring high because of which, limited vacancies have a very high number of claimants.
So according to me, this was a bad change for serious aspirants.

One of my friends is preparing for medical exams and he opposes the idea of scrapping AIIMS UG and JIPMER UG exams. People that this gives them an advantage like: -
- Preparing for a single exam gives you more time to focus on the same pattern.
- Payment has to be done only once as compared to earlier.
- The level of questions is comparatively easier than AIIMS because having -¼ negative marks and easier questions.
However merging the exams have led to the real advantages the students had before which are: -
- People who weren’t able to give NEET properly worked hard for AIIMS or JIPMER. They had another opportunity and alternative which they don’t have right now.
- In the NEET exam -1/4 is marked for negative attempt but on the other hand in AIIMS allowed only -1/3 to make genuine attempts
- Inevitable rank inflation in NEET
AIIMS was on the level of engineering entrance exams comparatively NEET is much easier therefore there are lots of students with the same marks fighting for a single spot.
