Application Process and Stages
AIIMS 2025 admission cycle follows a structured multi-stage process that applicants must complete within specified deadlines:
1. Online Registration
The first step is basic registration through AIIMS’s official exam portals. Separate links are provided for undergraduate and postgraduate programs, usually through designated portals. Applicants must create profiles, enter personal details, educational history and upload basic documents.
The registration window for AIIMS 2025 applications opened in early April and closed in the first week of May for most courses. Candidates needed to complete basic registration and then proceed to code generation and final registration phases.
2. Code Generation and Final Registration
After basic registration, eligible candidates generate a unique registration code which allows them to complete the final registration. In this stage, candidates pay the examination fee and select exam dates and cities (if provided). Final registration ensures candidates are officially registered to sit for the entrance exam.
3. Entrance Examinations
AIIMS conducts computer-based entrance examinations for the various programs. The exam format generally includes multiple-choice questions (MCQs) testing subject knowledge relevant to the chosen course.
For the M.Sc. Nursing and M.Sc./M. Biotechnology exams, the scheduled entrance was held in June 2025, with each exam consisting of 90 multiple-choice questions to be answered in 90 minutes. The scoring criteria included positive marks for correct responses and negative fractional marks for incorrect ones. Candidates typically needed to secure at least a minimum percentile to qualify for further stages.
Undergraduate exams like the B.Sc. (Hons.) Nursing test were scheduled for early June, with results and counselling following shortly after. Paramedical exams were held later in July.
Important Dates and Notifications
For the 2025 session:
-
Basic registration began in early April.
-
Final registration and code generation extended into May.
-
B.Sc. (Hons.) Nursing entrance took place in June.
-
Paramedical entrance was scheduled later in July due to official scheduling adjustments.
-

These dates are crucial to track because missing any deadline can disqualify a candidate from participation in that admission cycle.
Examination Pattern and Scoring
The entrance tests for AIIMS programs commonly follow these patterns:
-
Objective-type questions (MCQs) administered in a computer-based testing mode.
-
Duration is usually around 90 to 120 minutes depending on the program and number of questions.
-
Scoring involves positive marks for correct answers and negative marking for incorrect ones (such as minus one-third of a mark per wrong answer).
-
Minimum qualifying criteria often include achieving a specified percentile or rank threshold.
Preparation for these exams requires strong fundamentals in core science subjects for undergraduate programs, whereas postgraduate exams focus on depth in specialized subjects relevant to the course.
Seat Allocation, Results and Counselling
Once the entrance exams are conducted:
-
AIIMS publishes results and merit rankings on its official exam portal.
-
The results typically list candidates who qualify for counselling rounds.
-
Counselling and seat allocation are conducted based on rank, category reservation policies, and choice preferences submitted by candidates.
-
Multiple counselling rounds may be held to fill available seats.
Qualified candidates must ensure they have all original documents — including educational certificates, mark sheets, identity proofs and application confirmations — ready for document verification during counselling.

Program Options and Seat Distribution
AIIMS has several flagship programs with seats distributed across various institutes and campuses in cities such as Delhi, Raipur, Rishikesh, Jodhpur, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Nagpur and others. There are also reservations for candidates as per Central Government norms for various categories.
For example, the B.Sc. (Hons.) Nursing program typically has over a thousand seats shared across multiple AIIMS centres. The Post-Basic B.Sc. Nursing course is offered at select locations. Paramedical programs span a wide range of allied health disciplines such as optometry, imaging technology, respiratory therapy and others.
Postgraduate seats are also offered in nursing specializations, biotechnology, clinical sciences and related research-oriented programs.
Fees and Financial Considerations
AIIMS remains known for offering quality education at highly affordable fee structures compared with many other professional institutions. Tuition rates for programs like nursing and paramedical sciences are significantly subsidized to support broad access to healthcare education.
In addition to tuition, candidates should budget for application fees, examination costs, counselling expenses and related academic materials.
