All India Pre Medical Test

AIPMT - All India Pre Medical Test

The All India Pre Medical Test (AIPMT) is a yearly college entrance examination in India. The exam is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Delhi for admission to MBBSand BDS courses in several medical colleges around the country.

The All-India standardised test was revolutionary in its concept as its primary aim was to enable equitable availability of medical education to all regions of the country and to foster inter-regional exchange.

Till recently an additional uniqueness was that it was one of the few all India competitive examinations (along with the examinations for defence services) that was completely merit based and without any reservations. However, in 2006, under pressure from the Arjun Singh headed Human Resources ministry, reservation for SC,ST and OBC has been undertaken in AIPMT.

The pattern of AIPMT is being changed with effect from 2010.Due to complaints about the unreliability of the subjective mains, the mains are to be made completely objective like the prelims.More difficult and application-level questions can be expected. OBC reservation is being implemented as per the questionable directives of the government, but only in central institutes (i.e. not in most of the colleges covered under AIPMT).

The Medical Council of India was first established in 1934 under the Indian Medical Council Act of 1933. The Council was later reconstituted under the Indian Medical Council Act of 1956.The below article gives authority to MCI to recognize and derecognize degrees from recognized colleges at will leading to disruption in the lives of previous graduates.

The main functions of the Medical Council of India are the following:

• Recognition of medical qualifications granted by medical institutions of India.
• Recognition of foreign medical qualifications in India.
• Accreditation of medical colleges (medical schools).
• Maintenance of uniform standards for undergraduate medical education.
• Regulation of postgraduate medical education in medical colleges accredited by it. (The National Board of Examinations is another statutory body for postgraduate medical education in India).
• Registration of doctors with recognised medical qualifications. (Registration of doctors and their qualifications is usually done by state medical councils).
• Keeping a directory of all registered doctors, called the Indian Medical Register.
