AIIMS MBBS Admissions Through NEET 2025: Everything You Need to Know

AIIMS had a standalone entrance exam to get into the MBBS program that it no longer conducts. NEET is now the sole basis on which AIIMS admissions are made. The exam will be held in a traditional way on the 4th of May, 2025.

Intro about AIIMS

AIIMS is a center of national importance recognized as an autonomous institution established under an Act of Parliament in 1956. Subsequently, AIIMS has replicated its brand across India, namely AIIMS Delhi, AIIMS Bhopal, AIIMS Jodhpur, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, and AIIMS Rishikesh. NEET scores are used for admissions in the MBBS courses of these institutes followed by a counseling process that is done centrally by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

The feat of getting into AIIMS is what most medical aspirants dream of. To make it happen, a well-thought-out plan of the NEET 2025 preparation is a must-have for the candidates. Here come the crucial tactics that will pave your way to success.

Key Strategies for Cracking NEET 2025 and AIIMS Admissions

• Master NCERT Textbooks

• The primary source of the NEET syllabus is NCERT for classes 11 and 12. Therefore, it is very important to understand the concepts in these books.
• Revise NCERT books thoroughly for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
• Work out multiple-choice questions (MCQs) that are based on the NCERT concepts.
• Take reference books for really deep concept-clearing, especially in Physics and Chemistry.
• Study the NEET question papers of the past to identify the important patterns.
  

• Practice Statement-Based and Assertion-Reason Questions

• NEET frequently features assertion-reason and statement-based questions, especially in Biology and Chemistry.
• Focus on the keywords like “hence,” “therefore,” and “because.”
• Practice with AIIMS previous year papers, as they had similar question formats.
• Logical reasoning skills will help you in coming to a right conclusion from the given statements.

• Stay Updated with General Knowledge (For AIIMS Admission Process)

• NEET does not feature a General Knowledge section; however, knowledge of medical advancements and healthcare policies can raise your score.
• Get yourself updated with the latest innovations in the medical field.

• Stay Updated with General Knowledge (For AIIMS Admission Process)

• Stay up-to-date with government health initiatives and AIIMS history
  

• Take Regular Mock Tests

• As NEET is going to be an offline exam, candidates must get familiar with OMR sheets while practicing. The mock tests are helpful in-
• Improving time management for answering 180 questions within 3 hours and 20 minutes.
• Improving accuracy by lessening mistakes intended for negative marking.
• Developing exam stamina for easy concentration during the test.
  

• Develop a Smart Exam Strategy

• Competition for the AIIMS MBBS is extremely fierce, consequently, having a strategic approach might propel you to a better result.
• Biology should be the first part to be attempted as it has the highest number of marks (360 out of 720).
• Physics should be the next subject you work on as it entails calculations and logical thinking.
• Complete Chemistry at the end and concentrate on organic and inorganic parts of it.
• Do not guess blindly to avoid negative marking ( – 1 for each wrong answer).
  

• Minimize Negative Marking

• NEET follows a strict marking system:
• +4 marks for every correct answer.
• -1 mark for every incorrect response.
• 0 marks for unanswered questions.

In order to maximize your score, you should only answer the questions that you are sure of and apply the elimination strategies to reduce the choices.

• Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

• Winning in NEET is not only about hard studies but also about keeping good health both physically and mentally.
• Provide yourself with at least 6-7 hours of sleep for better concentration and memory retention.
• Take food that is rich in all kinds of nutrients so that you can stay full of life.
• To get rid of stress, practice meditation or take some light exercises.
