AIIMS MBBS Admission Process 2025: Step By Step

• MBBS students at AIIMS need to fulfill eligibility standards before passing the NEET UG exam and taking part in merit-based counseling to claim an available seat. All candidates who want to apply for AIIMS MBBS 2025 must reach their 17th birthday before December 31 of the admission year. Applicants must satisfy two specific requirements: they need to complete the 10+2 educational level along with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English as basic subjects; and they must meet the minimum required grades. Students in the general category need to obtain at least 60% marks while students from the reserved categories need to achieve 50% marks or above.
• Candidates need to participate in the NEET UG 2025 examination administered by National Testing Agency (NTA).
• Candidates get their seats during the allocation process based on their rank position and listed preferences together with the available openings between General and OBC and SC and ST and PWBD categories. Candidates need to surpass the specific cut-off scores. Choice-based payment of admission fees becomes necessary for candidates who successfully complete the counselling process.

Will AIIMS Increase the Seat Intake for MBBS Admission 2025?

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has expanded MBBS seats for its 2025 academic year among its renowned medical institutions in India. The MBBS seat availability at AIIMS Delhi and its multiple branches has grown as part of their expansion program. All AIIMS institutions together will have more than 1,500 MBBS seats after some campuses increase their seat offering by 50 new positions. The government has made this expansion part of its strategic plan to enhance medical education access while developing the overall healthcare system throughout India.

The additional seats will produce an expected modest change to AIIMS admission cutoff limits. The rise in available AIIMS seats will marginally decrease entrance cutoffs thus expanding admission possibilities for medical candidates but the stiff competition continues since all positions are assigned through NEET UG results. Reserved category candidates will see more guaranteed seats because the expansion plan includes a proportional distribution increase of seats for SC, ST, and OBC candidates.
