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:

No, AIIMS Delhi is India's no. 1 college and not the world's no.1 college. Rank-wise, the top colleges in India are

  • AIIMS Delhi
  • CMC Vellore
  • BHU
  • KMC Manipal 
  • JIPMER 
  • KGMU

If you are looking for top medical colleges across the globe, here are a few.

  1. Harvard University, USA- Situated in Boston, it has been ranked the best medical college by Times Higher Education World Ranking; QS Best College ranking, and by several other rankings with an acceptance rate of 4 % only. 
  2. University of Cambridge, UK-. The medical school provides top-notch research opportunities in addition to superior-quality medical education.
  3. University of Oxford, UK- It is the oldest University in England. A plethora of courses are offered from which you can choose the ones that intrigue you. Some such subjects taught are diagnostic imaging, neuroscience, clinical embryology, and others.
  4. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA- MIT’s Medical School is in collaboration with the medical school of Harvard University. But it’s important to note that it is a completely different school from Harvard’s Medical School.
  5. Johns Hopkins University, USA- This old university is known for its excellent research and education in medicine and public health. This university is an excellent option for medical aspirants. 
  6. Stanford University, USA- This is a well-regarded research-driven medical school that provides excellent education and research opportunities to its students.

What are the advantages of doing an MBBS from AIIMS over other medical colleges?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : May 30th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Rather than looking for the perks of doing an MBBS from AIIMS, you should be asking what would you be losing if you are unable to make it into AIIMS and if that loss is worth worrying about. In a medical college, most of your UG time goes into exams and studies and you are left with no time to analyze where your interest lies - Medicine or no medicine / USMLE or AIPG 

  • AIIMS offers top-notch education and training to its students, with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on experience. This can help students develop the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful doctors.
  • AIIMS has state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, which can enhance the learning experience for students. This includes modern laboratories, research facilities, and advanced medical technology.
  • AIIMS has a strong reputation both nationally and internationally, which can be beneficial for students when it comes to securing jobs or pursuing further education.
  • AIIMS has a diverse and inclusive community of students and faculty, which can provide a supportive and enriching environment for learning and personal growth.

AIIMS does not have campus selections and all doctors are paid equally in the beginning whether you belong to an AIIMS or not. The medical field does not value brand names but it's our personal efforts that actually matter.

And students come from various states which results in a diversity in culture, perspective and language This diversity of thought enriches class discussions and exposes students to a wide range of ideas and viewpoints, fostering a more dynamic and stimulating learning environment.
  • Facilities: College provides you with great amenities. There is stock in libraries. Next to the college is the hostel. The cafeteria is fantastic. You may also find a skating rink, cricket pitch, indoor table tennis facility and football pitch on the site.

Which one is the best AIIMS or CMC Vellore for an MBBS?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : September 21st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

One of my friends was in a similar dilemma. He considered the following points while making his decision 

  1. Most AIIMS undergraduates settle in the US or pursue higher education in top colleges in India while CMC graduates prefer CMC for their higher education only. 
  2. Students of CMC are required to do bonds in mission hospitals so their higher education gets delayed. But this instills in them a strong sense of community-oriented healthcare. They tend to work in remote places of India without any personal glory. An AIIMS student can hardly be seen doing community service.
  3. AIIMS graduates publish more when compared to CMC graduates.
  4. CMC students get better hands-on experience and hence fare better in terms of clinical and Surgical skills. Right from the second year, they start assisting postgraduates in clinical work. 
  5. If you are a non-Christian, it will be difficult to go through the entire training without a mission hospital

Ultimately, make a choice based on your demographics, preferences, and goals in life.

AIIMS is rightfully called the Harvard of the East owing to its excellence in the field of Medical education. AIIMS has a lot to offer and not every AIIMS student makes the most out of the plethora of opportunities offered. It depends on the individual and his goals.

Here are a few aspects that make AIIMS stand out amongst other medical institutes.

  • The supreme quality peer pool gives way to meaningful discussions with everyone motivating each other to grow. 
  • The faculty pool is equally qualified and diverse, comprising authors of international books, leaders in research in their fields, advisors to international committees, etc
  • The overall mindset of the institute is towards striving for excellence. You are left with no option but to do your extreme best and succeed.
  • The patient inflow is also quite diverse at AIIMS and apart from textbook cases, you come across rare diseases too.
