INTRODUCTION

An Act of Parliament in 1956 established the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)
as an autonomous institution of national importance and defined its objectives and functions.
By virtue of this Act, the Institute awards its own medical degrees and other academic
distinctions. The degrees awarded by the Institute under the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences Act are recognized medical qualifications for the purpose of the Indian Medical
Council Act and notwithstanding anything contained therein, are deemed to be included in
the first schedule of that Act, entitling the holders to the same privileges as those attached to
the equivalent awards from the recognized Universities of India.
1.2 Seven other AIIMS
Under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana seven new All India Institutes of
Medical Sciences have been established similar to AIIMS, New Delhi at Bhopal,
Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Nagpur, Patna, Raipur, and Rishikesh. All these institutions
have started various Postgraduate Courses. As per the directives of the Ministry selection for
admission will be done through the same Entrance Examination through which candidates
are selected for AIIMS, New Delhi. The admission will be done on the basis of merit-cum-
choice of the candidates.
