Dreaming of AIIMS Bilaspur? Here's Everything You Need to Know - MBBS Admission, Fees, NEET Cutoff

Overview

All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Bilaspur was inaugurated in 2020 under the PMSSY (Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana) initiative of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, with its first academic session beginning in 2021. Located in Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh, it's a central autonomous institute recognised as an Institute of National Importance, and genuinely, a fairly different proposition from IGMC Shimla, which we covered just before this one.

The single most important thing to understand about AIIMS Bilaspur is this: unlike IGMC Shimla's 85% state quota / 15% AIQ split, AIIMS Bilaspur has no Himachal Pradesh state quota at all. Being a central autonomous institute, 100% of its MBBS seats are filled through the All India Quota, conducted by MCC, so your home state doesn't give you any domicile advantage here the way it does for IGMC. Every candidate across India competes on the same national merit list for every seat.

AIIMS Bilaspur's rankings vary a fair bit depending on the source too: NIRF 2024 placed it at an impressive 10th position nationally in the medical category, while Collegedunia's 2025 ranking placed it lower, at 55th, a genuine spread that's worth keeping in mind rather than treating either figure as definitive.

The institute is attached to a developing tertiary care hospital, reported at 750+ beds, with emergency and trauma care, critical care units, diagnostic labs, and modular operation theatres, built to serve not just Himachal Pradesh but surrounding northern states as well. This guide covers seats, fees, cutoff trends, admission process, and counselling steps, so you have a complete, honest picture before finalising your preferences.

Admission Process

There's no separate entrance exam for AIIMS Bilaspur; admission runs entirely on your NEET UG score and rank, through a single central counselling process, with only two rounds of counselling typically conducted for AIIMS seats.

Step 1 – Appear for NEET UG 2026

Step 2 – Check Your Eligibility

• Completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English
• Minimum qualifying marks of 50% for General category, 45% for OBC, and 40% for SC/ST

Step 3 – Register for MCC Counselling. Since AIIMS Bilaspur is a central institute, all seats are filled through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in. There's no separate Himachal Pradesh state registration needed for this college.

Step 4 – Fill and Lock Your Choices: Add AIIMS Bilaspur as one of your preferences during choice filling, positioned sensibly based on your rank and how it compares against recent cutoff trends. Once locked, changes aren't permitted, so take your time getting the order right.

Step 5 – Seat Allotment: MCC allots seats through its counselling rounds, based on your NEET AIR and the choices you've filled. AIIMS seats typically see only two rounds of dedicated counselling, so it's worth being decisive and well-prepared with your choice list from the outset.

Step 6 – Reporting and Document Verification: If allotted, download your allotment letter and report to the institute within the specified reporting window with all original documents.

AIQ Counselling – Conducted by MCC
