Hello,

Kudos on achieving an outstanding AIR 817 in NEET 2025! That’s an impressive accomplishment. In response to your question, if you enroll in AIIMS Bibinagar, you will be regarded as a central institute student rather than a Telangana state quota student, as AIIMS operates as an autonomous body under the central government. In Telangana, for NEET PG counselling, the local candidate status for government quota PG seats is based on where you studied MBBS and your residency/domicile status according to the regulations set by the Telangana state counselling authority (KNRUHS).

Typically, to qualify as a local for NEET PG under the Telangana quota, you must have completed your MBBS at a college associated with KNRUHS or Dr. NTRUHS, such as Gandhi Medical College.

Therefore, if you enroll at AIIMS Bibinagar, you might not qualify for the local quota of NEET PG in Telangana, since it is not affiliated with KNRUHS. You will, nonetheless, become qualified for the AIIMS internal quota in INICET for PG programs in all AIIMS institutions, which is an important benefit. If maintaining local quota eligibility in NEET PG Telangana is your goal, Gandhi Medical College would be a more secure option. However, if you consider INICET and central counselling alternatives, AIIMS Bibinagar provides a respected and well-equipped setting.

Hope this helps. All the best!
