AIIMS Delhi overview

Start with the facts that affect your choice

The existing record shows 125 Indian-national places; historical sanctioned UG data shows 132 including the source’s broader category. Read the seats page and current matrix before treating either as current vacancies.

Programme entries are retained from the existing directory. Verify the current session’s eligibility, branch permissions and seats in the institute prospectus.

AIIMS New Delhi: a medical campus built around teaching, research and patient care

All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi brings medical education and a major public hospital environment together at Ansari Nagar. Its institutional identity rests on three connected activities: educating health professionals, investigating health problems and caring for patients.

Created in 1956 through an Act of Parliament, AIIMS is an autonomous institution of national importance that awards its own degrees. Its origins include the work of Rajkumari Amrit Kaur and a New Zealand grant under the Colombo Plan. The foundation stone was laid in 1952.

For an applicant, the setting matters as much as the name. Learning extends beyond lecture rooms into wards, outpatient clinics, laboratories and supervised clinical work. Students interested in academic medicine can explore a network of departments, specialty centres, research support and library resources.

This profile focuses on AIIMS New Delhi. Other AIIMS institutions have their own campus facilities, course offerings, reporting instructions and admission matrices. Always select the institute and programme explicitly when checking a counselling document.

Medical and health-science study pathways

These are programme families described by AIIMS, not a complete current seat matrix. The programme directory below retains this website’s existing course links. Check the AIIMS session prospectus before treating a directory entry as an available admission choice.

MBBS fees: understand the source year first

The detailed amounts below are from the AIIMS New Delhi MBBS prospectus for 2023, page 7. They are historical reference amounts, not a confirmed 2026–27 invoice or an annual tuition quotation.

The same prospectus lists a hostel-and-other-fees subtotal of ₹4,228, including refundable security deposits. Adding the two published subtotals gives ₹5,856. Do not interpret that historical combined figure as the annual cost of attending AIIMS: it does not represent recurring food, travel, personal or study expenses.

For payment, use the current AIIMS reporting instructions and the amount shown by the authorised institutional payment process. Fee revisions, nationality, accommodation and programme can change what is payable.

The revised August 2026 reporting schedule directs candidates to pay the requisite academic and hostel fees but does not provide a new numeric fee table. The 2023 amounts above therefore remain explicitly historical.

MBBS admission: from examination to reporting

1. Read the current NEET-UG information bulletin and confirm the eligibility requirements that apply to your qualification and category.
2. Complete NEET-UG and retain the application, admit-card and result records.
3. Follow MCC registration, fee payment, choice filling and locking for the relevant round. Select AIIMS New Delhi explicitly in the available choices.
4. Check the official allotment result, reporting window and rules for your allotted round.
5. Follow the AIIMS New Delhi reporting notice for originals, certificates, medical examination, payment and joining formalities.
6. Complete hostel application and orientation steps separately where required. Admission and hostel allotment are distinct processes.

How to evaluate an AIIMS cutoff

Use the official MCC allotment results for MBBS and the AIIMS seat-allocation documents for INI programmes. Avoid a single undated “AIIMS cutoff” number: it can mix different campuses, categories or rounds.

For a meaningful comparison, write down the admission year, course, institute, round, allotted category and rank type. Check the subsequent reporting or joining rules as well. A past allotment pattern is context for planning, not a promise about the next round.

Rankings and institutional disclosures answer different questions

The AIIMS website lists medical submissions for 2026 and earlier years. This profile uses the 2026 submission for clearly dated historical data. It does not infer a 2026 rank from that document.

When comparing colleges, keep the ranking category consistent. Medical, dental, overall and research tables measure different groups and should not be combined as though they were the same league table.

A network of hospital and specialty learning environments

These centres are listed in the official AIIMS directory. They describe the institution’s clinical network, not a promise that every student rotates through every location. Departmental schedules, programme requirements, permissions and supervision determine actual student exposure.
