The AIIMS has been accused of violating norms laid down by the Supreme Court for the post-graduate admissions to benefit its own students, affecting aspirants from other medical schools.
The institute admits 60 students every year to its MBBS programme. According to Supreme Court orders, it is allowed to keep aside half the number — 30 seats — for preferential admission to PG seats for AIIMS candidates in the merit list.
The number of candidates called for counselling based on their entrance test ranks was four times the number of seats available.
AIIMS offered 84 general category PG seats across disciplines this year. Under SC norms, it was allowed to fill up to 30 seats with AIIMS candidates, who would not have obtained seats based on their rank, from among those called for counselling.
