AIIMS Bhopal Admission 2026 FAQs
Ques. How is the CBRNE disaster management certificate programme at AIIMS Bhopal structured?
Ans. The Post Graduate Certificate Course in Medical Management of CBRNE Disasters, or PGCMDM, is a 6-month open and distance learning programme for MBBS doctors. AIIMS Bhopal started it with IGNOU, the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INAMS), and the Defence Research and Development Organization. The course includes a 15-day contact period, with 10 days at INMAS and 5 days at a Learner Support location.
Ques. What happens during the health assessment after a student is selected?
Ans. Every selected student must be examined by a medical board made up of institute faculty members. A student declared medically unfit by the board cannot join the programme, and the board's decision is final. The next person on the merit list is admitted in that student's place.
