AIIMS registrations for MBBS courses 2014 begin

All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is expected to begin its registrations for the MBBS courses on Monday. The last date to apply for the registrations is March 17.

The exam is scheduled to be held on June 1 at various centres across the nation. The candidates who are willing to apply should have passed their Class 12 examination or equivalent with subjects such as, English, Physics, chemistry and Biology. They should have minimum 60 percent marks in aggregate.

The course is offered by AIIMS Delhi, Patna, Bhopal, Jodhpur, Bhubaneswar, Rishikesh and Raipur. It will be conducted in online as well as offline (Pen & Paper) modes. Indian Nationals, who have attained or will attain the age of 17 years as on the December 31, 2014 are eligible to apply.


The competitive entrance examination will be of 3.5 hours duration and will have one paper consisting of 200 objective type (multiple choice and reason-assertion type) questions from Physics, Chemistry, Biology and General Knowledge with 60 questions each from Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology) and 20 from General Knowledge.

Each correct response will get a score of 1 mark. Each incorrect response will get a score of -1/3 (minus-one-third). No credit will be given for the questions not answered. More than one response will be treated as wrong answer and negatively marked.

The list of candidates who qualify for counseling to the M.B.B.S. course would be declared by June 25.
Last week, a proposal had been made to extend the five-and-a-half-year-long MBBS course to six-and-a-half-year-long course, which would include a compulsory one-year rural posting. This had risen heckles of medical students. The students of various colleges had protested outside Nirman Bhawan against the proposal. The RDA of AIIMS had also extended their support to the AIIMS Students' Union in the protest.
