AIIMS Marking Scheme

Solving previous year's papers

For AIIMS, solving previous year's papers are very important as to get an idea how the questions are being asked. If they're direct formula based or they are conceptual. And if they're conceptual is the the candidate able to solve the questions. Solving previous year's papers also gives the candidate a practice for the logical reasoning and general knowledge portion of the exam.

Qualifying marks for candidates

Open category: 50%

SC/ST/SC OPH/ST OPH: 40%

OBC/ OBC OPH: 45%

    AIIMS PREPARATION TIPS
    1. For the Assertion-Reason questions, studying NCERT is very important
    2. For Physics, understanding the concepts are very important as most of the questions are conceptual
    3. Questions can be based by combining concepts of two chapters.
    4. Chemistry is combination of chemical equations, numericals and concepts.
    5. In biology, studying the diagrams and concepts is very important
    6. Clearing the concepts of 11th is very important too
