       All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is simply the best medical institute and is the pride of India. It's a dream of every medicine aspirants of our country, to pursue their studies in this esteemed Institution. AIIMS offers programmers both in under graduate & post graduate medical courses and is globally famed for the purpose.

       The brain child of Raj Kumari Amrit Kaur and the then Prime Minister Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, AIIMS was an attempt to generate a climate of science in independent India. It was established in 1956 through an act of Parliament as an autonomous institution to serve as a nucleus for fostering excellence in all aspects of the health care system.

       Primary objective of the AIIMS is to develop a teaching pattern of unmatched quality in Undergraduate and Post-graduate Medical Education in each and every branch of medical studies, and thereby to demonstrate a high standard of Medical Education in India. At the same time it intends to bring together in one place the educational facilities of the highest order, for the training of personnel in all important branches of health activity.

       The legendary Institution has comprehensive facilities for teaching & research, which are conducted in 42 disciplines. In the field of medical research it is the leader having more than 600 research publications by its faculty and researchers in a year. Being an autonomous Institution of national importance, AIIMS awards its own medical degrees.

       So far as MBBS programme is concerned, AIIMS holds an all-India competitive entrance test for administering admission of aspiring students, annually. The examination is conducted in 10 cities across the country. Approximately 80000 students every year attempt the test, which attests its popularity.

       Application forms for AIIMS-MBBS are available in Mid-January from the designated 'State Bank of India' branches, across the country. The form can also be obtained by post by sending a request, along with a Demand Draft to AIIMS. The candidates have to fill the form and send it, attaching the required documents, to the designated authority concerned of AIIMS.

       AIIMS-MBBS entrance is an objective type (MCQs) test, wherein candidates are to answers questions on Physics, Chemistry, Biology, & General Knowledge. The question Paper is provided either in English or Hindi according to the choice of the candidates. A candidate must write in the space provided in the application form whether he/she prefers to have the question paper in English or Hindi. This choice cannot be changed later at any stage.

       For processing admission, AIIMS declares Merit lists in four (4) different categories (General, OBC, SC.&ST) on the basis of the marks obtained by the students in entrance test. At the same time respective waiting lists are also declared. If a candidate doesn't or fails to take admission, system is to fill the seat by the next candidate of the respective list. The students have to secure very high marks in the Entrance Test in order to get admission into this institution.

       At present there are 77 ( as on 2011) seats available for MBBS course in AIIMS. The number of students to this course is kept relatively small to ensure an adequate teacher student ratio. The distribution of seats for different categories stands as follows:-

       For Indian Nationals, 3% reservation for physically handicapped (orthopedic) shall be provided on horizontal basis, in the seats available.

       In case suitable candidates are not available from the SC/ST reserved categories, the vacant seats are filled by the candidates from the general category.

       The MBBS course in AIIMS is divided in to three phases, viz., Pre-clinical, Para-clinical and Clinical Phase, which covers the basic medical and behavioral sciences such as anatomy, biochemistry, genetics, pathology, immunology, microbiology, physiology etc. A major emphasis is given to clinical issues through clinical case studies. The students have to participate in community training as part of their curriculum. The course follows semester system, each semester consisting of six months.

       The duration of the program lasts for a minimum of five and a half academic years including one year of compulsory rotatory internship, following which the institute awards the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (M.B.B.S.) to the students. The MBBS degree from AIIMS is not just well recognized in India, but all over the world.

           AIIMS is a residential university in which the faculty members, staff and the students live on campus. All admitted candidates have to reside in the Institute's hostels, if offered accommodation. The Institute provides excellent hostel facilities to its students. There are 8 hostels for undergraduate students (6 for boys and 2 for girls) with a capacity to accommodate 850 students. The facilities, faculty, research findings and infrastructure available at AIIMS put it much ahead of any other medical institute in India. The classrooms and tutorial rooms are equipped with audio-visual aids and have Internet connectivity. This institute provides state of art library, computer & internet labs and well equipped and modernized laboratories to its students.

AIIMS is probably the cheapest institute in India so far as medical studies are concerned. Following is the fee structure for the MBBS course in AIIMS.

However, this is subject to change. Candidates are therefore advised to go through the brochure regarding the same while applying.

   Becoming a doctor, that too from an institute like AIIMS, is a dream cherished by many budding talents of our country. For, AIIMS offers not only a MBBS degree but also set one a step ahead of others, in career. An opportunity of professional development and a career there after that Al I MS put forward is unmatched in our country. Whatever the parameters are used, that is, quality of faculty, infrastructure, number of specializations available and job prospects, all roads lead to this autonomous institution.

   As a career, Medicine is one of the most sought after, and rewarding for those interested in Science, and dealing with sick people. A doctor's profession involves a lot of hard work, but provides the noble satisfaction of curing patients, at times even saving lives. For practicing as a physician or surgeon, one needs to have completed the MBBS course from a recognized medical college and must possess a license from the State Medical Council to practice.

   As a profession, Medicine offers maximum opportunity for growth. Over the years, the field of medical studies has undergone enormous stages of development, and it has become so vast that specializations within it have been growing day by day.

   There are various areas of specialization available for the doctors. After doing MBBS, candidates can go for post graduate level studies (MD or MS). In AIIMS 25% of PG seats are reserved for AIIMS-MBBS pass out. Post

   Graduate Programmes (MD or MS) is usually of 3 years duration. There are also Super Specializations which require a further 3-5 years of study in chosen areas.

   Those with Post Graduation (MD or MS or M.Sc in Medicine) can go for Ph.D in any specialized area of medicine. MD or MS holders can complete the Doctoral Programme (Ph.D) in 2 years and M.Sc Medicine holders in 3 years.

   All these branches of specialization add to the qualification of doctors. And the employment opportunities thereafter they find can broadly be categorized as below:

-In Government or private hospitals

-In Nursing homes/clinics/health departments

-In medical services of the army, navy and air force, under the Ministry of Defense

-In charitable institutions

-In medical colleges and training institutes as teachers

-In research institutes and medical colleges as researchers

-In the industrial sector

   Furthermore they also become eligible for better jobs in prominent hospitals abroad. Some of the countries like Malayasia Saudi Arabia, Ommam, UAE hire doctors from India at higher pay. Even in United States and Europe, doctors from India are regarded with high esteem. The solid reputation of Indian doctors and the validity of courses and their frequent up gradation contributes a great deal in making medical profession a financially viable one for them, with an added factor of respectability. The world over, doctors are treated with special regard because of their ability to help the people to lead a healthy and contented life.

   The need and demand for medical professionals are on enormous rise in recent times due to the unfortunate upsurge of diseases and ailments, day by day. At the same time super specialty hospitals are burgeoning both within the country and abroad, thereby, opening up new avenues of employment for them. The doctors are also drawn towards this state-of -art medical establishments as they offer better working conditions, more salary package, and greater opportunities of research with a recognition for work.

   Medicine is a challenging profession, but rewarding as well.

No specific syllabus for the MBBS entrance examination has been prescribed by AIIMS. However, the question paper for the examination has an extensive coverage of Physics, Chemistry, and Biology along with some questions of General Knowledge type. The general standard of the Examination is that of 12th class under the 10+2 Scheme/pre-medical/lntermediates science or an equivalent examination of an Indian University.

   Cracking AIIMS-MBBS entrance examination is like a dream comes true. It is tough and demands hard work with sincerity, coupled with sharp and focused mind of a candidate.

   AIIMS encompasses objective (multiple choice and reason-assertion) type examination with an equal stress on all the three subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Hence, the students need to be very thorough with the fundamentals of each individual subject. But then, just memorization of text and mere knowledge is not sufficient for getting good score. In Physics and Chemistry analytical reasoning is required; the students should be able to assess the problem, understand it and answer accordingly. Biology comprises Botany and Zoology, the preparation for which requires razor sharp memory and summoning of complex terminologies and nomenclatures in a moment. Thus, memory power must be strong.

   Again, for all the three subjects it is very important to understand the inter-relationship between the concepts. At the same time one should possess skill of higher order in tackling the problems. The problems would be appearing in different formats with increasing complexities. Often the students commit mistakes while understanding the question and the concepts underlining the question. The skill set required here is maturity and understanding the requirement of the concept, that too in quickest possible time. And for that purpose focused as well as scientific approach is what that's asked for.

   Again, as the test is of objective nature candidates must have high level of concentration as they must ensure absolute perfection in order to arrive at the correct answer. Development of quick thinking is therefore an absolute must.

   To sum up, thorough and sound knowledge bases, with a sharp, analytic, quick and calculative mindset are the skills required to crack AIIMS-MBBS entrance.

Though the AIIMS-MBBS entrance conforms to the level of Class XII, the overall difficulty level of the question paper is high. While the paper is said to be a combination of easy, moderate and difficult questions, but on an average it is on tougher side. Furthermore, most of the questions are based on multiplicity of concepts which require in-depth analysis and devising a strategy that is away from the conventional method of answering.

Out of the MCQ's worth 60 marks for each subject only 40, are 'pure MCQs'. The rest 20, are assertion-reason-type questions, which require a very thorough clarity of the concepts dealt with in each subject. The candidates must be adept at recognizing the concepts and arranging them methodologically so that they are able to beat the difficulty and arrive at the correct answer. As the competition is of highest order one needs to be extremely sound with the knowledge of each individual subjects. 

Any student who gets admission to the AIIMS will vouch for the fact that a medical aspirant can ignore these 20 marks only at grave peril. Often, with students across the nation performing brilliantly in the subjects, the marks scored in the GK section can make or mar a student's chances of gaining admission to AIIMS.

-Start preparation in sufficient advance. AIIMS is not something that you can crack simply by cramming just before exam.

-Concentrate on being conceptually extremely sound. For that matter you should thoroughly study NCERT and ISC text books + various resource books.

-Meticulously go through each and every topic of all the subjects.

-Revise the theory portion as much as you can. You need to be real quick in your thought process, for cracking AIIMS.

-Recollect important points and frame questions of your own. You require more power of recollection to tackle biology.

-Answer direct questions without looking at the options, because options confuse a lot.

-Capacity for answering the assertion-reason-type questions can be enhanced if you refer to books or guides which give situation questions' whose solution requires the application of a concept or a law.

-Once the subject-wise basic preparation is over, you should solve the question papers of past few years repeatedly, to get well-versed with the examination process and trend.

-Practice as many MCQs as you can. While doing so, make sure NOT about the quantity of questions you are solving, but the quality of MCQs.

-On final leg, you should take full length Mock Tests. This will help you learn time management tactics, also induce you with necessary confidence level, required to crack the exam.
