AIIMS Rajkot

AIIMS Rajkot, established in 2020, is Gujarat's All India Institute of Medical Sciences, serving the Saurashtra region from one of the state's major commercial cities. The proposition is the standard AIIMS one: MBBS admission purely on NEET rank, fees kept nominal by central funding, and a centrally governed institute with autonomy that state colleges lack. For students, the attached hospital's growing referral role across Saurashtra means increasing clinical volume and variety through the course. Rajkot is a mid-sized, prosperous city with reasonable living costs and decent connectivity, if without metro-scale amenities. As one of the youngest institutes in the network, infrastructure, faculty depth and speciality departments are still being built out. It suits strong NEET candidates, particularly from western India, who prioritise the AIIMS degree over campus maturity.
