About AIIMS 2017 Question Paper with Solutions

The primary focus of the AIIMS 2017 entrance exam is to test the knowledge of the basics of aspiring medical students who wish to pursue a career in the field of medical science in the 15 most reputed colleges of AIIMS. This exam is solely for students taking admission in AIIMS UG and PG courses. In 2019, MHRD, the Government of India, scrapped the AIIMS MBBS entrance exam and replaced it with NEET. This move helped reduce the pressure of students who were preparing for several other medical exams held separately for other institutes like JIPMER (MBBS) and can focus on only NEET. But the trouble is doubled due to the competition over only 75,000 seats, in Government and Private medical colleges, becoming tougher with every decimal in the results being counted. Be it the percentile in 10+2 or equivalent or the age and caste category, the eligibility criteria for the same is strict so students have to score well in their class 12 Board exams for successfully applying for NEET.  Needless to say, as compared to AIIMS MBBS, NEET focuses on three subjects- Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology). AIIMS MBBS also included General Knowledge as another paper for students to pass which is not present in NEET.  

NEET has been able to squash all state-based and private medical college exams where the level of unfair means like scams, paper leaks, etc., for grabbing seats was much higher. But NTA, as an independent organisation and the conductor of NEET, takes care of the above with only the best and deserving students getting their desired seats.

FAQs on AIIMS 2017 Question Paper with Solutions

1. What are the cut off marks for qualifying for NEET?

The minimum cut off for qualifying NEET MBBS depends on the category  of students:

  • General Category- 50 percentile (138 marks)

  • SC/ST/OBC- 40 percentile (122 marks)

  • PwD- 45 percentile (108 marks)

But these marks are different from the marks needed for admission to various Government and private colleges in India. This is where the NEET admission cutoff marks are useful. The minimum NEET cutoff for MBBS courses in different colleges for the unreserved/general is 520 to 610 marks which varies every year.

2. What are the benefits of qualifying NEET?   

Before the NEET exam, every student had to prepare for many medical entrance exams like AIPMT (All India Pre-Medical Test) for particular states and reputed institutes which were very hectic, pressurising and confusing. With the introduction of NEET as the only valid entrance exam for all medical institutes like AIIMS, students can now focus on only one test. So now students have a clarity of enrolling in the best medical college by clearing the cutoff marks. Due to the transparency and fairness in NEET, deserving students get the chance to grab a seat in their desired medical colleges.

3. Is solving Previous Years’ Question papers of NEET enough?

During the preparation, students must be aware of the topics and chapters mentioned in the syllabus. Be it the NCERTs or any other recommended books by the experts, solving Previous Years’ Question Paper has huge weightage in the process of learning, reviewing and testing one’s level of knowledge. This not only helps in knowing the pattern and types of questions in every subject but also boosts confidence and reduces the stress before the exam.

4. What is the duration of the NEET exam?

Like the AIIMS MBBS 2017 paper, the NEET exam is conducted by NTA (National Testing Agency) and the time duration is 3 hours. Unlike AIIMS MBBS, students have to answer only 180 questions instead of 200 so students have ample time in hand to concentrate and get the correct answers. Every year, the number of students appearing for the test cross over 5 to 10 lakhs for every 75,000 seats in India. So this annual exam is divided into two shifts- Morning and Evening for easy accommodation of students.

5. For how long are the NEET MBBS scores valid?

In India, the validity of the exam score usually lasts for only a year, ie., during the year of the attempt of the exam. Similarly, after receiving the results, aspiring medical students, who have qualified NEET with the minimum cut off, must enrol within the year of attempt for securing a seat in the prestigious medical colleges. However, if a student wishes to enrol for an MBBS course in a medical school abroad, the validity of their NEET score is 3 years.
