All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar
About All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Deoghar (AIIMS Deoghar) is a premier autonomous Institute of National Importance (INI) established in 2019 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, under the AIIMS Act, 2012. Located in the developing township of Devipur, approximately 15 km from the historic pilgrimage city of Deoghar in the Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand, the institute was created as part of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY) to expand access to world-class medical education and tertiary healthcare in underserved regions of eastern India. AIIMS Deoghar functions as its own autonomous university and is recognized as an Institute of National Importance, placing it in the same category as AIIMS New Delhi, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, AIIMS Patna, and other premier central government medical institutes across India. The institute is spread across a sprawling green campus of 237 acres in Devipur and offers a distinctive academic and clinical environment characterized by modern infrastructure, near-zero tuition fees, and a unique combination of policy benefits that make it one of the most sought-after destinations for NEET UG aspirants in the rank range of 3,000–5,500 (General Category). The MBBS programme has an annual intake of 125 seats, admitted exclusively through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) All India Quota (AIQ) — there is no state quota, domicile reservation, or NRI/management quota. AIIMS Deoghar's teaching hospital is a fully functional multi-specialty institution with a sanctioned bed strength of 750 beds and over 500 beds currently operational. It serves as the only tertiary care referral centre for the entire Santhal Pargana region, drawing patients from 5–6 districts of Jharkhand and bordering Bihar. The hospital records an average daily OPD footfall of 2,500–3,000 patients and maintains high IPD occupancy of approximately 80%, ensuring rich and diverse clinical exposure for students. The institute is equipped with world-class diagnostic and treatment infrastructure, including a 3 Tesla MRI, 128-slice CT scanner, and a fully operational Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab). In July 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new 500-bed IPD block and Operation Theatre complex, significantly enhancing clinical training capacity. Academically, AIIMS Deoghar follows the competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum mandated by the National Medical Commission (NMC), delivered entirely in English across 9 semesters. The institute has a growing faculty strength of approximately 60–80 teaching staff, led by Executive Director Dr. Nitin M. Gangane (a renowned Pathologist and former Dean of MGIMS Sevagram), with an exceptional student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:3 to 1:5 in clinical postings. Faculty are approachable and largely resident on campus, fostering a strong mentorship culture. A defining feature of AIIMS Deoghar is its policy framework that strongly favours students: there is absolutely NO service bond obligation post-MBBS; interns receive a monthly stipend of ₹26,300–₹30,000 under Central Government 7th CPC norms; and — crucially — AIIMS Deoghar MBBS graduates are now eligible for Institutional Preference (IP) of up to 50% reservation in MD/MS PG seats (INI-CET) within the institute itself. This 'Internal PG Quota' is considered a major strategic advantage for career planning. The annual tuition fee of ₹1,350 and a total MBBS course cost of under ₹15,000 (excluding mess charges of approximately ₹2.5 Lakhs over 5.5 years) make AIIMS Deoghar one of the most affordable and highest-value MBBS programmes in the country. Students also benefit from single-room hostel accommodation from the 2nd year onwards — a rare privilege in Indian medical education. The institute's annual cultural festival, 'HELIX', along with active student clubs and a zero-tolerance anti-ragging policy, fosters a vibrant and safe campus community.Admission Process

Yes. AIIMS Deoghar MBBS graduates are now eligible for Institutional Preference (IP) of up to 50% reservation in PG seats (MD/MS) via INI-CET within AIIMS Deoghar itself.

What is the OPD load and clinical exposure quality at AIIMS Deoghar?
AIIMS Deoghar's hospital sees approximately 2,500–3,000 patients per day in OPD (rapidly increasing). Being the only tertiary care centre in the Santhal Pargana region, it attracts referrals from 5–6 districts of Jharkhand and bordering Bihar.
