Steps for MBBS Admission

NEET UG merit determines MBBS selection. AIIMS Nagpur has no state, management or NRI quota.

1. Check the entry conditions: complete 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and at least 50% aggregate. The minimum is 40% for SC/ST/OBC applicants. Students must turn 17 on or before December 31 of the admission year.
2. Take NEET UG and obtain a valid score.
3. Register for centralised online counselling through the MCC website.
4. Enter course and college preferences, including AIIMS Nagpur. Seat allocation depends on NEET rank and category.
5. Follow the allotment and joining process for the relevant round. The admission process includes three allotment rounds and a mop-up round.

• Central government reservation rules provide 27% for OBC, 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST and 10% for EWS applicants.

Entry to MD and MS

Applicants need a valid MBBS qualification and must complete their internship. AIIMS conducts INICET twice a year, in May and November. After the results, AIIMS Nagpur fills MD/MS seats through combined AIIMS counselling. Central government reservation rules apply.

Entry to DM and M.Ch

For super-speciality admission, students must complete MD or MS in the relevant parent speciality and qualify through INICET. Some super-specialities also offer direct 6-year integrated MD-DM programmes. AIIMS institutions conduct counselling together.

Entry to Allied Health Sciences and Nursing

AIIMS Nagpur holds its own counselling for B.Sc Allied Health Sciences and B.Sc Nursing. Students must pass 10+2 with PCB and hold a valid NEET UG score, which forms the basis of selection.

AIIMS Nagpur Placements and Career Outcomes

MBBS students at AIIMS Nagpur generally move into further medical training rather than a conventional campus placement process. Most pursue MD or MS through INICET at AIIMS institutions or NEET PG at other government medical colleges. Government medical service, private hospitals, teaching and research offer other career routes.

The figures below describe typical starting compensation and training stipends for these routes.

General Category MBBS closing ranks below 1,000 place the institute's entrants among the country's highest NEET UG achievers. These students have historically earned INICET ranks in the top quarter and secured postgraduate opportunities at leading AIIMS institutions.

AIIMS Nagpur Rankings

In the 2025 NIRF Medical category, AIIMS Nagpur held rank 31. Academic work began in 2018, so the institute entered the country's top 35 medical institutions within seven years of starting operations. Its early development includes growth in research output, patient numbers and faculty strength.

AIIMS Nagpur is the newest among the six new-generation AIIMS established under PMSSY in Maharashtra and central India. Its progress in the NIRF Medical list places it among the newer AIIMS that have risen quickly in the rankings.

AIIMS Nagpur Campus and Infrastructure

Students live and study on a 150-acre site within the MIHAN integrated township in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport lies next to the township. Planned roads and metro connections link the area with Nagpur city and its centre.

More than 50 clinical and preclinical departments support teaching and hospital care. The teaching hospital receives patients needing advanced specialist treatment from Vidarbha and nearby parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The campus plan provides for expansion to a full-service 750-bed teaching hospital over the next few years.

Separate on-campus hostels serve boys and girls, with annual charges of up to INR 15,140. AIIMS Nagpur remains the only AIIMS institution in Maharashtra.

AIIMS Nagpur, AIIMS Bhopal and AIIMS Raipur Compared

Students considering newer AIIMS in central India often compare these three institutions. Each is a central Institute of National Importance under PMSSY, follows the same fee structure and admits MBBS students through MCC counselling. Their age and NEET rank requirements are the main differences.

Location can guide the choice between these institutes. AIIMS Nagpur suits students from Maharashtra and neighbouring states who want to study in Vidarbha. Students from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh tend to prefer AIIMS Bhopal and AIIMS Raipur respectively. Having opened earlier, Bhopal and Raipur have had more time to develop research and faculty strength in their early specialities.
