The closing ranks for All India Quota (AIQ) seats in NEET UG 2023 would be the same for all categories, according to an announcement from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. This implies that all applicants, regardless of category, would face intense competition throughout the AIIMS Delhi MBBS degree admissions process.

What is NEET UG 2023?

The National Eligibility com Entrance Test for undergraduate medical programmes is called NEET UG 2023. It is the sole entrance test for enrollment in MBBS, BDS, and other medical programmes in India and is administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The test is slated to take place on August 6, 2023.

What is AIQ?

The All India Quota, or AIQ, is India’s mechanism for allocating undergraduate medical seats. Based on their NEET UG scores, it offers candidates from all states and union territories a set percentage of places in medical institutions. Through a centralised counselling process run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), AIQ seats are allocated.

Delhi’s AIIMS and AIQ

One of the best medical schools in India, AIIMS Delhi, offers MBBS programmes to students. There are a finite number of MBBS seats available, and admittance is extremely competitive. The closing rank for AIQ seats at AIIMS Delhi in 2021 was 52 for General category applicants, 2,130 for OBC applicants, and 13,702 and 26,712 for SC and ST applicants, respectively. The closing rankings for AIQ seats for NEET UG 2023, on the other hand, would be the same for all categories, according to a statement from AIIMS Delhi. This implies that all applicants, regardless of category, would face the same competition for AIQ seats at AIIMS Delhi.

Impact of the Decision

The selection process for MBBS programmes would be significantly impacted by AIIMS Delhi’s decision to use the same closing ranks for all categories. As there will be no easing in the final rankings for any category, that implies that the race for AIQ places will be even more fierce.

Students from the general category, who had a slightly better chance of obtaining an AIQ seat at AIIMS Delhi, would now be in a level playing field with those from the reserved categories. Similar to this, applicants from the reserved categories will face competition from applicants from the General category for the same seats.

Conclusion

An important change in the admissions procedure for MBBS programmes is the decision to have identical closing ranks for all categories at AIIMS Delhi. The admissions process will become more competitive, equitable, and transparent as a result. To earn a spot at AIIMS Delhi, the aspirants would nonetheless need to study harder and do better on the NEET UG test. In order to maximise their chances of being admitted to AIIMS Delhi, students should concentrate on their education and adequately study for the NEET UG 2023 test.
