Foreword
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi has completed over 70 year of
existence. From the first batch of MBBS students who joined this institution on 25th
September 1956, it has now grown to be one of the largest centres of medical education
in the country with nearly 3000 students, residents and scholars. The institute remains
unchallenged in the quality of its education, having been ranked the number one medical
college in the country in all surveys and reports for two decades including the recently
initiated National Institution Ranking Framework of the Ministry of Human Resources
Development, Government of India.
The Academic Section provides the administrative backbone to the various training
programs imparted by the institution including student affairs, curriculum development,
training platforms and innovations in education. The large number of programs offered
by the institute requires a well-defined set of rules and principles to ensure equal
opportunities and fair governance. Over the years, these rules evolve to address the
needs of the time and it is essential to keep track of these changes.
This book is a compendium of the most important rules and regulations that govern our
academic programs. It contains the most recent changes that have taken place and lists
the decisions of various committees wherever such changes have occurred. It is our hope
that this book will serve as a ready source material for all individuals engaged in academic
work at the Institute.

Foreword
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) was established as an institution of
national importance by an Act of Parliament in the year 1956. Over the years, it has
been the premier institution in the country. One of its main objectives is to develop
high standard of medical education in India by bringing together the best educational
facilities in all branches related to health. The institute runs a number of prestigious
and highly coveted courses including undergraduate courses in medicine, nursing and
related areas, and postgraduate courses in almost all the basic and clinical specialties
and super-specialties. Around 1200 students are admitted every year at AIIMS. A large
number of alumni of the institute occupy key academic positions in India and abroad.
The institute maintained the top position among the medical colleges in the country in
all key surveys including the National Institute Ranking Framework of the Government
of India.
The Academic Section is entrusted with managing the core academic activities of the
Institute, ensuring equal opportunity and high standards of quality. It is the custodian
of all syllabus, statutes, and other eligibility rules governing the teaching and award of
various academic degrees. This section develops policies and executes academic activities
as per set rules, guidelines and principles, which have evolved over time and change
as per current demands. A team of dedicated staff looks after administrative aspects of
undergraduate, postgraduate, and postdoctoral medical and paramedical courses.
This book describes details of various courses offered by the Institute, the code of conduct
for the students, and various rules, regulations and guidelines governing these courses.
In addition, it gives details of opportunities available for meritorious students, such as
medals, awards, grants etc. A relatively recent addition is the AIIMS-SARAL (Student
Advanced Resources and Learning) educational platform for Learning Management
system (LMS) and Student Management System (SMS), catering to online learning,
discussions and assessments.
This compendium is a first comprehensive compilation of the activities of the Academic

Section, which govern the entire academic and research activities of the institute. It is,
therefore expected to be of immense value to the faculty, students and other stakeholders
in the institute.

Internal assessment marks

In the 1st professional examination, internal assessment marks shall be calculated on the
basis of marks obtained in two out of three semester exams (1st mid semester, 1st end-
semester, 2nd mid-semester). Each of the two exams considered will contribute equally to
the internal assessment. The best 2 results out of 3 exams will be taken in each subject.
However, the total (theory and practical) of each subject will be counted together and
cannot be split. No re-assessment/supplementary examination will be conducted for
internal exams. (Authority: Academic Committee AC/118; 06/02/2020)
Each of the two considered internal assessments will carry marks as below:
Subjects Theory Practical

Anatomy 50 50 (38+12 Viva Voce)
Physiology 37.5 37.5 (30+7.5 Viva Voce)
Biochemistry 37.5 37.5 (26+11.5 Viva Voce)
In the Final Examination of 1st Professional, 50% of total marks are based on internal
assessments, and 50% on the basis of performance in the professional examination.
The Academic Section provides the result of total internal assessment marks to the
Examination Section before the 1st Professional MBBS result is declared.

Re-assessment rules (Internal examination):
Following the implementation of ‘best 2 exams’ policy, no re-assessment/supplementary
examination will be conducted for internal exams.
Those students who are ill for long periods and are not able to reappear at the
examination, may be exempted only by the Dean from taking the examination on the
production of a medical certificate from Head of the Department/Unit under whom the
student has been under treatment. This certificate should be issued within one or two
days of the date of illness and should clearly indicate that the student is not fit to appear
at the examination on that day. Non completion of a posting may entail a repeat posting
in that area. In such cases the students may be exempted by the Dean from the pertinent
semester examinations.

being allowed to appear for the 2nd Professional exam.

Brief Summary
Dr. Urmil Kapoor was born in 1935 in undivided Punjab in a family of doctors. Her family
migrated to Delhi during the partition but that did not affect her resolve to follow the
family tradition by joining the medical profession. She graduated in Medicine in 1958
161
from S.M.S. Medical College, Jaipur. After a brief stint with the Municipal Corporation of
Delhi, she joined the Delhi Electricity Supply Undertaking as a Medical Officer where she
spent 17 years. During her stay at DESU she rose to become Chief Medical Officer and was
instrumental in looking after the health needs of more than 30,000 families. She took the
lead in expanding the number of DESU Dispensaries from 3 to 17, besides introducing two
mobile clinics, in order to take health care as close to the door step of patients as possible.
She was a person of few words but abundant constructive action arising from tremendous
love and compassion. To outsiders, she was a picture of equanimity, and to the family a
loving mother, a dependable wife and a respectful daughter in-law. She had a deeply
religious temperament and was involved in many philanthropic activities. Just when she
was negotiating to establish a charitable trust for improving health care in East Delhi, it
was discovered that she had carcinoma of the breast. Unfortunately she succumbed to
the disease within less than two years, and passed away in January 1995. She is survived
by her husband Dr. B. K. Kapoor, two sons and a daughter. Keeping in mind what she
would have liked, Dr. B. K. Kapoor, who retired as Additional Professor of Physiology and
Associate Dean of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, made a generous donation

He had an informal, friendly, participatory and spontaneous style of work. He inspired
his students and colleagues by igniting new ideas in a very unassuming way. He earned
respect not by authority, but by the power of his ideas and gentleness. Dr. Ghai was a
visionary in true sense. His name will forever remain etched to the annals of pediatrics
and child health of our country. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son.
166
The pediatrics fraternity of the country has lost a father-figure, a teacher par excellence,
an inspiring leader and a thorough gentleman. To the family of Prof. Ghai, we offer our
heartfelt condolences, and to late Prof. Ghai, we pay our tribute as an illustrious son of
India who dedicated his life to the cause of children of our Nation, and more significantly,
left an exemplary and lasting legacy for time to come.
The orations in the past were delivered by Dr. Meharban Singh, Dr. I.C. Verma and Dr. R.N.

Guidelines for Academic
Courses, Awards, Travel Grants,
Orations
203
204
Junior Residents (MD/MS/MDS/MHA) and
Senior Residents (DM/M.Ch) and Senior
Residents (Non-DM/M.Ch)
These guidelines apply for seats/posts of Junior Residents (MD/MS/MDS/MHA)
and Senior Residents (DM/M.Ch) and Senior Residents (Non-DM/M.Ch) in various
departments at AIIMS, New Delhi.
• The broad guidelines for Resident: Faculty ratio should be based on the criteria
on the type of training program the department is running. The broad guidelines
based on the type of programs are as follows:-
– For departments having only MD/MS/MDS program: a ratio of 3 students for
one faculty member
– For departments having only DM/M.Ch programs: a ratio of 3 students per
faculty member
– For departments having both MD/MS/MDS and DM/M.Ch program: a ratio of
5 students per faculty member (this is based on the principle that the training
level of MD/MS & DM/M.Ch residents is different).
– For departments having MD/MS/MDS and Fellowship program: a ratio of 5
students per faculty member
– For departments having MD/MS/MDS and DM/M.Ch and Fellowship program: a
ratio of 5 students per faculty member
– For departments having DM/M.Ch programs and Fellowship program: a ratio of
5 students per faculty member
• To start a new course (MD/MS/MDS/MCh/ DM etc), at least three faculty members
should be available in the department. The training provided by the department
should be evaluated on regular basis. To evaluate the standard of training
department should get feedback from the students.
• For the creation of new Posts of SR both (DM/M.Ch. & Non DM/M.Ch.) and JRs 1 ICU
bed should be treated as equal to 3 general ward beds and 1 HDU bed should be
considered as equal to 2 general ward beds.
• A periodic evaluation should be done of the number of sanctioned seats in any
given department and whether sufficient clinical material is available for training of
these residents. The availability of sufficient number of faculty members for training
of these residents should also be ensured. If there is any deficiency the number of
seats in these departments should be reduced on the basis of recommendations of
the department and final decision by the Dean/Director.
205
POSTGRADUATE SEATS (MD/MS/MDS)
1. To be designated as Chief Guide for MD/MS/MDS, a minimum of 2 years experience
as faculty is essential.
2. Faculty/Student Ratio: Faculty to postgraduate student ratio of 1:3 with a maximum
ceiling of 3 students as chief guide as detailed in the introductory segment. (It means
that a department with 6 faculty members can have maximum of 18 PG students
(6 per year) with the availability of sufficient clinical material/diagnostic facilities /
other training faculties)
3. Bed Strength: The number of beds is an essential criteria for deciding the PG seats
but this cannot be decided with a universal yardstick and this should not be the only
criteria. A broad guideline as below is recommended:
• For clinical specialties with balanced inpatient-outpatient services (e.g. Medicine,
Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Surgery, Oncology, Ophthalmology, etc.):
 The criteria of 20 beds for 9 PG seats (MD/MS/MDS) for the 3 year block (3 seats per
year) was considered appropriate. Thus, for such departments, the number of seats
would be based on the Faculty: PG ratio of 1:3 with a ceiling of 9 PG seats for 20 beds.
Thus, a department with 9 faculty and 60 beds would get a total of 27 seats (9 per
year). Another department with 40 beds and 6 faculty members would get only 18
seats (6 per year).
 However, these guidelines are recommendations only and if the number of beds is
less in any department and the department has sufficient clinical work load (OPD/
OT/Minor OT/ special clinics/field work/referrals) the number of seats can increase
but with the ceiling of Faculty:PG ratio of 1:3.
• The bed-based criteria underestimates the seats for clinical departments which cater
primarily to ambulatory patients (Dermatology and Venereology, Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation, Radiotherapy, Emergency Medicine, Dental Disciplines, etc.).
The Faculty: PG ratio of 1:3 would be the overriding factor for deciding the number
of PG seats in these departments. However, if the department feels that although
they have sufficient faculty but the clinical material for training these residents is
inadequate then the number of sanctioned PG seats can be decreased in these
departments depending upon the recommendation of the department concerned
arrived at after consensus in the faculty of the department.
• Bed-based criteria are not applicable to diagnostic services departments (Laboratory
Medicine, Radio-diagnosis, Nuclear Medicine). The Faculty: PG ratio of 1:3 would be
the overriding factor for deciding the number of PG seats in these departments.
• Disciplines such as Anaesthesiology, Emergency Medicine and Hospital
Administration have unique characteristics. For all these disciplines, the criteria of
3 PG seats for one faculty member is recommended with a justification of sufficient
206
workload in the form of OPD load/diagnostic services/OT services & other criteria.
• For pre- and para-clinical disciplines (including Forensic Medicine, Community
Medicine and Biostatistics), the criteria of 3 PG seats for one faculty member is
recommended with a justification of sufficient workload.
• Training of JRs and SRs (DM/M.Ch and Non-DM/M.Ch) are at different levels.
Junior Residents of Medicine/Surgery and other department spend a significant
amount of their training period (almost 1/3rd) in rotation to various super-specialty
departments where they undergo a substantial part of their training. The faculty
and bed strength of these super specialty departments should also be taken into
account for calculating the number of PG students in a particular specialty. A ratio
of 1:4 can be taken for calculation of number of beds from these super specialty
departments which means 50 beds in super specialty may add 12.5 beds for PG (MD/
MS) seat calculations.
4. In Departments where the workload is more but faculty strength is less like
Emergency Medicine, these departments may take Non-DM/M.Ch Senior Residents
instead of Non-Academic JRs.
DM/M.CH SEATS
1. Faculty: student ratio of 1:3 with a maximum ceiling of 5 students as Chief Guide as
detailed in the introductory paragraph.
2. 9 DM/M.Ch candidates for a 15 bedded super specialty unit that means a department
with 6 faculty and 30 beds can have maximum of 18 DM/M.Ch students.
3. If the number of beds is less but the department has other clinical workload (special
clinics)/procedures/interventions/ OT’s, etc.) then the number of DM/M.Ch residents
can be increased but with a ceiling of faculty to PG ratio of 1:3.
4. To be designated as Chief Guide for DM/M.Ch candidates, a minimum experience of
3 years as faculty is essential.
SENIOR RESIDENTS (NON-DM/MCH)

Senior Residents are the mainstay of the clinical/diagnostic/teaching work of the
departments under the supervision of the faculty. In pre-clinical departments they
play a comprehensive role in teaching of students, especially the undergraduates. In
para-clinical departments in addition to teaching, the senior residents are involved in
providing diagnostics/services (Microbiology/Pathology/Laboratory Medicine/Nuclear
Medicine etc.), medico-legal services (Forensic Medicine) and a mix of clinical and field
services (Community Medicine). In clinical departments, besides teaching, they form the
most critical layer of clinical service providers. The primary consideration for ascertaining
the number of posts of senior residents, thus, should be the clinical/teaching/diagnostic/
field work load of the department concerned.
207
Clinical Departments
For typical clinical departments, the previous recommendation was 2 SRs for a block of
25 beds. It is observed that the complexity of care has increased enormously at AIIMS.
The severity of illness of typical patients is much higher given the apex referral nature of
the AIIMS hospital; the number of patients seen in outpatient service including specialty
clinics has increased enormously, disproportionate to the increase if any, in inpatients
beds; a large number of procedures are now undertaken on day care basis; there is a
tremendous workload of interdisciplinary bedside referrals etc. Several departments
(eg. Medicine, Paediatrics) run Intensive Care Units. The Department of Anaesthesiology
runs an array of operation theatres across the hospital. The following are therefore
recommended:
1. 3 SRs for a typical clinical unit of 25 beds.

2. 5 SRs for an Intensive Care Unit of 6 beds each. This would ensure availability one SR
per shift.
3. 5 SRs for 12 high dependency beds. This would ensure availability one SR per shift
for such 12 bedded unit.
4. For areas such as post operative units, dialysis units, day care units that function in
some shifts, a provision of 2 SRs for 10 beds per shift.
5. 1.5 SR in the Department of Anaesthesiology for one operation theatre each and
other service areas like peripheral services, (CT, MRI, Endoscopy, etc.) and 5 SRs for
Emergency. The ICU beds are already covered. The number of senior residents can
be increased depending on the workload justification.
The work profile of all clinical departments is not the same, and the above
recommendations have not covered other scenarios. For instance, some departments
such as the Dermatology and Venereology and PMR have predominantly the outpatient
load and little inpatient work. Several departments have special clinical services (such as
minor OTs, IVF/Fetal Medicine facility, gamma knife, eye bank). Likewise, the emergency
services offer a totally different scenario where bed based norm alone is not appropriate.
Centre for Community Medicine has unique teaching and service delivery workload. It
is neither possible to list all such situations in this report, nor to predict the contours of
changing needs.
There are unique and heterogenous needs of the different departments and additional
SR positions be created as per the needs to cater to the individual mix and workload
of services of the departments. The departments should be encouraged to submit
their requirements with justification for creation of such posts. Such requests for SRs
(non-DM/M.Ch) may also be made by even departments/divisions which run DM/M.
Ch programs, but may have additional clinical/teaching load that cannot be met by
academic SRs.
208
Department of Hospital Administration
Department of Hospital Administration provides managerial support to the vast 2200
plus bedded hospital. The increasing complexity of the working of the modern hospitals
and the need for AIIMS hospital to would require creation of a strong managerial middle
rung under the Faculty of the Department of Hospital Administration comprising senior
residents. They should work closely and in partnership with the clinical SRs, nursing
teams, support departments/facilities to deliver efficient, patient friendly service at
AIIMS conforming to high national and international norms and accreditation criteria.
Therefore 1 SR may be recruited for 100 inpatient beds of AIIMS patient care services
(including centres) for the Department of Hospital Medicine.
Pre-And Para-Clinical Departments

The main task of the SRs in the pre-clinical departments is to teach undergraduate
students. The increase in UG seats, teaching load and need for small group teaching,
tutorials and demonstrations to ensure high quality education at AIIMS is to be
recognised. The following are recommended:
1. 1 post of SR for 10 undergraduate students.

2. Additional SRs on a case to case basis in case the pre and para clinical departments
undertake additional/innovative activities/services (eg poison information call
centres, embalming services, life style counselling etc). The departments should
be encouraged to submit their requirements with justification for creation of such
posts.
Diagnostic services departments

Senior Residents in these departments provide heterogenous services in addition to
teaching. The following are recommended as a broad guideline.
Forensic Medicine:
• 1 SR for 10 summons per week
• 5 SRs for initial 100 autopsies, then 1 SR for additional 300 autopsies each
Pathology:
• 1 SR for 3000 surgical pathology per year
• 1 SR for 6000 cytopathology cases per year
• 1 SR for 10 undergraduate students
• 5 SRs for additional services
Laboratory Medicine:
• 1 SR for 100 microscopic reporting per day
209
• 1 SR for 100 manual testing per day
• 1 SR for 100 automated investigations per day
• 1 SR for 100 patient beds (additional)
• 1 SR for 5000 outpatient attendees (additional)
Radio-diagnosis:
• 1 SR for each ultrasound machine
• 1 SR for each X ray machine
• 1 SR for each mammograph machine
• 1 SR for each fluoroscopy unit
• 3 SRs for each CT machine
• 2 SRs for each MRI machine
• 2 SRs for each DSA machine
• 1 SR for MLC/court
• 2 SR for portable/bedside ultrasounds
• 3 SRs for the casualty in routine hours
• 1 SR for each peripheral outreach centre (presently 1 for Ballabhgarh and 1 for
Jhajjar)
• 5 SRs as relievers
• 5 SRs for casualty in emergency hours (2 in main + 2 in trauma)
DENTAL SPECIALTIES
The CDER is running MDS courses in four disciplines and it has envisaged to initiate the
same in other five disciplines. These courses are essentially OPD based services or day
care and special procedures under local anaesthesia. The following are recommended:
1. To initiate new PG courses, at least 3 faculty members in that particular specialty

should be available one out of them should be at least Addl. Prof. / Professor and
adequate infrastructure and facilities should be available depending upon the
specialty and adequate case load should be there in that particular specialty.
2. The discipline of Oral and Maxillofacial services offers a blend of OPD based services,
day care and ward based services, including rotation in Trauma Centre and IRCH.
Therefore for the purpose of Oral Surgery bed based and faculty criteria should be
applied while for the other Dental disciplines OPD case load, procedures and day
care criteria would be applicable.
3. For all dental disciplines, the faculty criteria would be the overriding factor in
deciding the number of postgraduate students in any given department.
210
4. As a further guide, one dental chair per JR should be available in all teaching
department of CDER.
5. Further, as a general guide in any given teaching department, one dental chair
should be available for every academic JR/SR and all faculty members.
6. The CDER runs General Dentistry services also for which staff is required at various
levels. There is a rotation of academic JRs and SRs also for General Dentistry work.
For running the services of General Dentistry the services of non-academic JRs is
important. It is recommended to have one non-academic JR for 3 Dental Units in
CDER.
7. For SRs in dental specialties, the criteria of one SR per 3 Dental Units in an academic
department is the most appropriate. The number of SRs can also be increased
depending upon the workload in any given department and extra SR can be asked
for if proper justification of the workload is given by the department. This workload
may include the work providing general dentistry services or any other super
specialty service provided by the department with specified requirements.
