What type of medical checkups do they conduct at AIIMS Delhi while admitting students in MBBS?

Every AIIMS conducts several medical checkups before admitting students in M.B.B.S. Some of these include

• blood tests
• ECG
• Eye tests
• Normal Height and weight parameters

Rarely does anyone fail these tests as they are just for general purposes. The reason these tests are conducted is to prepare you for the dangerous environment you will be working in. It’s better to know the personal health information of the students to prevent any major issues. For instance, those with low WBCs must take more precautions as they are more vulnerable to diseases like TB. However, these tests should be taken seriously as one of my friends shared a story that was really shocking. A student’s ECG was being tested and some issue was found. 

Further diagnosis revealed a hole in his heart. Had these tests not been conducted his condition would have worsened.
