NEET PG 2001 (AIIMS PG Entrance) Exam Pattern
The AIIMS PG entrance exam of 2001 was an objective-type pen-and-paper test, not the computer-based INI-CET format doctors sit today. Here is what defined its pattern.
- Question format: single-best-response multiple-choice questions, one correct option per question.
- Conducting body: the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, conducted its own postgraduate entrance test independently of the CBSE-run AIPGMEE, which covered the separate 50% all-India-quota seats at other medical colleges.
- Purpose: ranking candidates for MD, MS and MDS seats at AIIMS New Delhi and its associated centres, a small and highly competitive intake compared to the national AIPGMEE pool.
- Format history: AIIMS ran this exam offline on OMR sheets through the 2000s, long before AIIMS PG (and later INI-CET) moved to a computer-based format.
- This paper: compiles 200 questions from the original 2001 AIIMS PG test booklet, spread across 18 subjects from Anatomy to Social and Preventive Medicine.
