Dear Gousia, while both AIIMS and NEET are Medical Entrance Examinations in India, their outreach is slightly different.



  • AIIMS is an autonomous Medical Institution which conducts its own Medical Entrance Examination for its 14 branches with approximately more than 1400 seats. For being eligible for AIIMS, you shpuld have completed 10+2 and scored an aggregate of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. It is 60% if you belong to General Category/OBC and 50% if you belong to SC/ST. The exam is conducted online consisting of 200 Multiple Choice Questions covering Physis, Chemistry, Biology, Aptitude & Logical Thinking and General Knowledge. There is negative marking. While there is no upper age limit for AIIMS, you need to be 17 years atleast by December 31st of the year of admission.
  • NEET has a wider outreach conducting admission to as many as 90,000 MBBS/BDS seats through its entrance exam. Through this exam, all the MBBS/BDS seats of Government/Private/Deemed/Central/ESIC Medical Colleges are filled up. NEET has no upper age limit but yes a candidate needs to be 17 years atleast by December 31st of the year of admission.
