✅ Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must possess the recognised postgraduate medical qualification (such as MD/MS/DNB or equivalent) required for the selected DM/M.Ch./MD Hospital Administration or other super-specialty seat and satisfy institute-specific eligibility, tenure and cut-off date conditions.

Programme or institute eligibility can be stricter than the basic entrance-test eligibility. Candidates should therefore check both the examination bulletin and the admission rules of the college/university they intend to join.

📝 Application Process

The usual application flow is:

1. Register on the official examination/admission portal with an active email address and mobile number.

2. Fill personal, academic and category details exactly as they appear on supporting documents.

3. Select the required paper, programme or test city/slot where the exam allows a choice.

4. Upload the photograph, signature and supporting certificates in the prescribed format.

5. Pay the application fee and save the confirmation page or payment receipt.

6. Use the correction window, if offered, only after checking all details carefully.

Candidates should avoid unofficial payment links and should never assume that registration for the entrance examination automatically registers them for university counselling.

📚 Exam Pattern and Syllabus

Computer-based examination with specialty-specific objective questions. Additional departmental assessment may apply for certain seats/programmes under the published rules.

The official syllabus should be used as the final preparation boundary. Where an exam has different papers, streams or programme groups, candidates must study the paper code that matches their intended course rather than a generic syllabus downloaded from an older year.

🎫 Admit Card and Exam-Day Checks

The admit card is normally released through the official candidate login before the examination. Students should verify the name, photograph, test date, reporting time, centre or online-test instructions, permitted identification documents and any prohibited items. If the examination uses slot booking or remote proctoring, the system requirements and mock-test instructions should be completed in advance.

📊 Result, Rank and Admission

AIIMS conducts online seat allocation for qualified candidates according to merit, institute choices, category and programme-specific eligibility.

A qualifying score does not always guarantee admission. Final selection can depend on category, institute preferences, programme eligibility, counselling registration, interviews, document verification and seat availability.

💡 Preparation Tips

• Keep the official syllabus at the centre of preparation and revise core concepts repeatedly.

• Use timed MCQ practice to improve recall, calculation speed and decision making.

• Track mistakes by subject and chapter so weak areas receive targeted revision.

• Reserve regular time for full-length mock tests and post-test analysis.

• Verify changes in the official pattern or qualifying rules before the final revision phase.
