2. 2

   What you can study

   The institution is a group of autonomous government public medical universities under India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. It is described as a medical higher-education institution, but a programme list is not published in the information available here; check the official AIIMS website for the current subject and degree options at the specific institute you want to apply to.

   Getting in

   For an international applicant, the first step is to choose the specific AIIMS institute and then check its admissions page, because admissions can differ across institutes in the group. The institution is public and government-run, but the application route, entry requirements, documents, and deadlines are not published here; confirm them on the official website before applying.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in India will depend on the city and your housing choice, so plan for accommodation, food, transport, and health expenses separately.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published here. Before applying, check the teaching language, whether your previous qualifications are accepted, what visa documents you will need, and whether the specific AIIMS institute has separate rules for international applicants.

   How it compares

   India has 475 universities, and AIIMS sits at the specialist end of that system rather than as a broad multi-faculty university. Its main distinction is that it is a group of autonomous government medical universities declared Institutes of National Importance, so it is a better fit for students focused on medicine and health education than for those seeking a general university.
