39 MBBS seats remain vacant at AIIMS this year
Patna: The recent data released suggest that 14 of the 19 new AIIMS have MBBS seats vacant for the 2021-22 academic session.
According to recent media reprot by HT, AIIMS Madurai has 13 seats, AIIMS-Deoghar has 3 seats, AIIMS-Bibinagar has 3 seats, AIIMS-Guwahati has 2 seats, AIIMS-Rajkot has 2 seats, AIIMS-Jammu has 2 seats, AIIMS-Bathinda has 2 seats, AIIMS-Raipur has 1 seat, AIIMS-Nagpur has 1 seat, AIIMS-Bhubaneswar has 1 seat, AIIMS-Raebareli has 1 seat, AIIMS-Rishikesh has 1 seat, Patna has 6 seats and AIIMS-Kalyani has 1 seat left.
Dr Umesh Kumar Bhadani, dean (academics) at Patna's AIIMS while discussing with Hindusthan Times said, "It's surprising why our MBBS seats are vacant. It's probably because of the skewed system. Some better ranked NEET students, who qualified for AIIMS-Patna through the all-India quota, did not join us this year probably because they got admission in their home state through the state quota."
The authorities have decided to conduct a special stray vacancy round for the seats vacant in online mode. The process began on 20th April 2022 with choice filling and locking and will end on 28th April, the last date to report to the allotted college. No fresh registration is req; however, fresh choice filling and choice locking are needed.
Candidates who are previously registered with MCC portal but not holding any seat in the previous rounds of the counselling process AIQ or state quota are eligible to participate in this round. However, the candidates who have been allotted a seat or joined in AIQ or state counselling and then allotted a seat in AIQ Mop-Up and stray vacancy round by MCC earlier but didn't join are not eligible to participate.
Candidates who will be allotted seats in special stray vacancy round will have to report at the allotted Institute and join the seat with their original documents.
