What is AIIMS MBBS?
AIIMS MBBS stands for All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. It refers to the MBBS programme offered by all 20 AIIMS institutes in India. These are centrally funded autonomous institutes set up by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
The AIIMS MBBS exam was a separate national entrance test conducted by AIIMS New Delhi from 2009 to 2019. From 2020 onwards, AIIMS discontinued its own exam. All AIIMS institutes now accept NEET UG scores for MBBS admission. The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts NEET UG on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Every year, more than 20 lakh candidates appear for NEET UG. Out of these, only the top-scoring candidates can secure MBBS seats at AIIMS institutes. AIIMS New Delhi requires one of the highest NEET scores in the country. The admission to all AIIMS seats is done through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling process.

You can download the answer key from neet.nta.nic.in once released. The download link requires your application number and date of birth.

The table below shows the expected NEET 2026 marks vs rank analysis based on previous year trends from 2023 to 2025. Actual ranks may vary depending on the number of candidates, paper difficulty, and normalization.
| NEET Score Range | Expected AIR (General Category) | AIIMS Admission Chances |

Preparation Tips for Re-NEET 2026
If you are preparing for the Re-NEET 2026 exam on June 21, you have about three weeks left. This is enough time to revise and sharpen your strategy. The Re-NEET 2026 paper will be a fresh question paper — do not assume any advantage from having seen the May 3 paper, as that paper has been cancelled.
Subject-Wise Tips
- Biology (360 marks): Revise all NCERT chapters from Class 11 and 12. Focus on Genetics, Ecology, Plant Physiology, and Human Physiology. Make short notes of diagrams. Biology is the highest-scoring section — aim for 340+ out of 360.
- Chemistry (180 marks): For Organic Chemistry, focus on reaction mechanisms, named reactions, and biomolecules. For Physical Chemistry, practise numerical problems daily. For Inorganic Chemistry, revise NCERT facts thoroughly.
- Physics (180 marks): Physics is the toughest section for most students. Focus on Mechanics, Electricity, and Optics. Practise problems from NCERT exercises and previous year papers. Use formula sheets for quick revision.
Last Three Weeks Strategy for Re-NEET 2026
- Week 1 (June 1–7): Revise Class 12 Biology (full NCERT), solve previous 5-year papers for Biology, revise Organic Chemistry reaction mechanisms
- Week 2 (June 8–14): Revise Class 11 Biology, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, Physics (Mechanics + Electricity), take 2 full mock tests
- Week 3 (June 15–20): Revise weak topics only, solve 1 full mock test per day, focus on accuracy and time management, avoid new topics
- Exam Day (June 21): Read the paper carefully before answering, attempt Biology first, avoid negative marking by skipping doubtful questions
