THE ALL INDIA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (AIIMS), was conceived as an institution of excellence that embodied the hopes of a new India, and it has stayed true to that vision.

Established in 1956 as an institution of national importance, it was envisioned by then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and spearheaded by Union health minister Rajkumari Amrit Kaur. Over the decades, AIIMS Delhi has emerged as India's premier medical institution, renowned for its cutting-edge research, high patient turnover, and specialised treatment facilities. While an MBBS degree from here is much coveted, a PG degree is no less sought after. Postgraduate education at AIIMS Delhi is widely regarded as the pinnacle of medical training in India, offering an unmatched blend of academic excellence, clinical exposure and research opportunities. The institute attracts the country's brightest minds through the highly competitive bi-annual INI-CET exam for admission to the MD/ MS/ DM/ MCh courses. It is taken by 50,000 MBBS and 25,000 dental graduates annually, yet less than one per cent secure a seat. Spread over a large, green campus in South Delhi's Ansari Nagar, the institute offers world-class facilities that promote both professional and personal growth.
