The All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) is a group of autonomous government public medical universities of higher education under the jurisdiction of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. These institutes have been declared by an Act of Parliament as Institutes of National Importance. AIIMS New Delhi, the forerunner institute, was established in 1956. Since then, 24 more institutes were announced.
{{as of|2023|1}}, twenty institutes are operating and four more are expected to become operational until 2025. Proposals were made for six more AIIMS under the leadership of Narendra Modi. It is considered as pioneer health institution of Asia.
History
The foundation stone of AIIMS Delhi was laid in 1952.{{cite web|last=Sirur|first=Simrin|date=2020-07-26|title=AIIMS Delhi — India's best medical college that's home to many leaders of Covid battle|url=https://theprint.in/health/aiims-delhi-indias-best-medical-college-thats-home-to-many-leaders-of-covid-battle/468097/|access-date=2020-09-26|website=ThePrint|language=en-US|archive-date=30 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230530144029/https://theprint.in/health/aiims-delhi-indias-best-medical-college-thats-home-to-many-leaders-of-covid-battle/468097/|url-status=live}} The first AIIMS was established in 1956 under the All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956.{{cite web |url=http://www.aiims.edu/aiims/ritact/AIIMS-ACT-RULES.pdf |title=The All India Institute of Medical Sciences Act, 1956. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180328181958/http://www.aiims.edu/aiims/ritact/AIIMS-ACT-RULES.pdf |archive-date=28 March 2018 |date=2 June 1956 |url-status=dead}} Originally proposed to be established in Calcutta, it was established in New Delhi following the refusal of Chief Minister of West Bengal Bidhan Chandra Roy.{{cite web |last=Mukherjee |first=Mita |date=2 September 2005 |title=Twin-IIT offer leaves Bengal cold |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050902/asp/frontpage/story_5187097.asp |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060316004221/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050902/asp/frontpage/story_5187097.asp |archive-date=16 March 2006 |publisher=The Telegraph (India)}} The act established AIIMS New Delhi, which was then known simply as All India Institute of Medical Sciences, and gave it the Institutes of National Importance (INI) status.
In 2003, the government of India announced the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) initiative which aimed at "correcting regional imbalances in the availability of affordable/reliable tertiary healthcare services".{{cite web|title=Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY)|url=http://pmssy-mohfw.nic.in/index4.php?lang=1&level=0&linkid=81&lid=108|publisher=Ministry of Health and Family Welfare|access-date=16 May 2019|archive-date=4 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200704015759/http://pmssy-mohfw.nic.in/index4.php?lang=1&level=0&linkid=81&lid=108|url-status=live}} This was to be done through two main channels: setting up AIIMS-like institutions and upgrading government medical colleges.{{Cite news|date=Aug 4, 2003|title=Calcutta Medical College AIIMS high|work=The Times of India 01:32 IST|location= Kolkata|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/india/Calcutta-Medical-College-AIIMS-high/articleshow/110928.cms|access-date=Aug 4, 2003|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507224322/https://m.timesofindia.com/india/Calcutta-Medical-College-AIIMS-high/articleshow/110928.cms|archive-date=May 7, 2021}} Though the announcement was made in 2003 during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's tenure, the project was delayed owing to the power shift at the centre. PMSSY was officially launched in March 2006 and six AIIMS-like medical institutes were announced. The six institutes become operational through an Ordinance from September 2012. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Bill, 2012 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 27 August 2012 in order to replace that Ordinance.{{cite news|last=Raj|first=Anand|date=27 August 2012|title=Bill on AIIMS-like institutes introduced in Lok Sabha|work=The Hindu|location=New Delhi, India|url=http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/education/article3827681.ece|access-date=30 August 2012|archive-date=30 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120830220242/http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/education/article3827681.ece|url-status=live}} Lok Sabha passed the Bill on 30 August 2012,{{cite news|last=Raj|first=Anand|date=30 August 2012|title=Lok Sabha nod to AIIMS bill|work=The Economic times|location=New Delhi, India|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/services/education/lok-sabha-nod-to-aiims-bill/articleshow/15994154.cms|access-date=30 August 2012|archive-date=1 December 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201161449/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/services/education/lok-sabha-nod-to-aiims-bill/articleshow/15994154.cms|url-status=live}} it was introduced in Rajya Sabha on 3 September 2012{{cite news|date=3 September 2012|title=AIIMS bill moved in Rajya Sabha amid uproar|work=Business Standard|url=http://business-standard.com/india/news/aiims-bill-moved-in-rs-amid-uproar/185172/on|access-date=3 September 2012|archive-date=16 December 2012|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121216053712/http://business-standard.com/india/news/aiims-bill-moved-in-rs-amid-uproar/185172/on|url-status=live}} and passed on 4 September 2012.{{cite news|date=4 September 2012|title=Par nod to AIIMS Bill amid uproar|work=Business Standard|url=http://www.business-standard.com/generalnews/news/par-nod-to-aiims-bill-amid-uproar/52090/|access-date=4 September 2012}} The Act was published on 13 September 2012.{{cite web|date=13 September 2012|title=The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (Amendment) Act, 2012|url=http://www.aiimsbhopal.edu.in/act/act_ammend_12_sep.pdf|access-date=15 February 2019|archive-date=13 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180713123325/http://www.aiimsbhopal.edu.in/act/act_ammend_12_sep.pdf|url-status=dead}}
The act also allowed the institutes to operate more autonomously, and awarded them the INI status. It also conferred the power to establish other AIIMS-like institutes by gazette notification and give them equal status.{{Cite web|url=https://scroll.in/article/993517/fact-check-bjp-supporters-claim-upa-government-built-only-one-aiims-in-10-years-are-they-right|title=Fact-check: BJP supporters claim UPA government built only one AIIMS in 10 years.

Admissions
AIIMS (New Delhi) was originally established as a super-specialty tertiary care centre with primary emphasis on research and specialized training facilities. MBBS is the basic medical course at bachelor's degree level. This is followed by master's degree level specialisation in general surgery, general internal medicine, pediatrics and other fields. Superspecialties are those healthcare fields whose practitioners need specialised certification after completing their postgraduation, examples being cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, rheumatology, neurology, and pediatric neurology. There are at least 45 superspecialties at AIIMS (New Delhi) at higher master's degree level. AIIMS also offers MSc and PhD level research courses.
There are about forty-two specialty post-graduate courses conducted at AIIMS (New Delhi). The entry is through a nationwide competitive examination, INICET(Institute of National Importance Common Entrance Test), held every six months. Each year nearly 50 thousand medical graduates and 25 thousand dental graduates across the country compete for the limited number of positions, approximately <1% of the candidates are admitted through the process. AIIMS publishes The National Medical Journal of India.
= Changes in Entrance Examination pattern under the provisions of NMC Bill 2019 =
As per the latest official notification released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, AIIMS, JIPMER -Puducherry, PGIMER -Chandigarh & all INIs (Institutes of National Importance) were directed to not conduct any Undergraduate entrance exams from 2020 onwards. Government has said that from 2020 session onwards, all such undergraduate admissions would be taken up only through a single national level examination NEET-UG conducted by NTA (National Testing Agency). Many field experts however criticized this exam unification, specifically with respect to AIIMS (New Delhi), citing the reason that the level of questions in AIIMS-UG entrance exams (for both MBBS & BSc Nursing courses separately) used to be of such a higher & deep logical-conceptual thinking capabilities, that they eventually served a greater advantage for selecting the most desirable students for such scientific courses.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}}
