The verdict
Strong fit
If you have 1 year of clinical experience and can crack the AIIMS entrance, this is a no-brainer. We're talking under-₹10K total fees, an NIRF #14 medical tag, and a 90% placement rate into AIIMS itself, academia, WHO/UNICEF projects, and international orgs. The 20-seat batch is tiny and elite, so competition is fierce — but the ROI is unmatched.
