Why do AIIMS Delhi students get a very short percentage in an MBBS even though they are intelligent?
Your intelligence is determined by your hard work. Even if you have an IQ of 200 and do not work hard, you can still fail MBBS. Medicine, in general, is a test of determination, patience, and perseverance rather than intelligence.
Overall it all depends on you, if you don’t study, your IQ won’t help you pass your exams.
How is the life of an MBBS student at AIIMS Delhi?
Life at AIIMS Delhi is a mix of academics, extracurricular and various events. The campus experience is enviable.
- On your very first day, you will be greeted by a huge group of seniors. The first interaction usually turns out to be a mix of spicy questions and tasks. You may dread it at first but later you will start to enjoy it. The seniors throw a blasting freshers party after one month. These parties are quite enjoyable, you can dance your heart out till 4 in the morning. The best part of this party is it officially ends the interaction period. You can call your seniors by their name after it.
- Before you know it, the PULSE fever sets in. The campus will start buzzing with various activities. PULSE is the biggest medical cultural festival in entire south-east Asia.
- After PULSE, you will get busy preparing for the first-semester examination. You will find people roaming around the campus with books and running to their seniors to get notes.
- In December, AIIMS organizes the ‘Shimla trip’. It is a longstanding tradition. You will get to spend a week in Simla and celebrate the end of your semester. After the vacation, there will be a couple of week-long winter vacation. You will finally get to go home.

- The final semester will be right around the corner, after INFET. Students spend most of this time in the library rather than in the hostel. After the examination, there will be a month-long summer vacation.
For first year students, this is what life looks like at AIIMS, Delhi.
What is the first year MBBS student age in AIIMS Delhi?
Medical Council of India (MCI) has guidelines that the minimum age of a student must be 17 years as of 31st December of the admission year.
For example, if you have taken admission in 2021, then you must be 17 years old before 31st December 2021.
The highest age limit is similarly 25 years old. Of course, there are age relaxations on the upper limit based on the reservation system. But most of the students would be in the age range of 17-19 years old.
I would say that roughly 30% - 40% of the students are 17 years old and the rest are 18, 19, or 20 years old. The majority of the students are either fresh out of school or 1-year drop students.
