All India Pre-Medical / Pre-Dental Entrance Examination (AIPMT) is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education, for admission in MBBS and BDS courses in more than hundred Medical/Dental Courses in all Medical/Dental Colleges under Union of India, State Governments, Municipal and other local authorities in India except in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. AIPMT is the gateway to about 1950 MBBS and 260 odd dental seats are available through AIPMT. Why students opt for AIPMT? On clearing AIPMT students can take admission in top medical colleges like Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC), JIPMER, MAMC(Delhi), Lady Hardinge(girls only),etc. This examination gives the opportunity to study in good institutions across India.
Being a doctor is an elite profession and at present there is a great demand for doctors. According to the Medical Council of India, the country has one doctor for every 1,722 people. Data from the World Health Organization shows that the doctor to patient ratio in India is 6:10,000 (or 1:1667), compared with 14:10,000 (or 1:714) in China, 26:10,000 (1:384) in the US and 23:10,000 (1:434) in the UK. What role AIMS plays in preparing students? At AIMS, students are trained to acquire thorough knowledge of all topics in Mathematics, Physics and Biology and deal with any type of complex problems within a given time. We emphasise on absolute clarity of concepts, implement innovative and effective style of teaching along with lucid explanations. Students are encouraged to analyse concepts for in-depth understanding and better insight in the subject. To gauge students understanding of subjects, assessment tests are conducted after every topic taught in class.
The course structure in designed in a sequence that would enhance better understanding of the subject over a particular period of time. This would provide students ample time in grasping the subjects and preparing for the examination.
AIEEE provides wider opportunities as it is the gateway to any of the twenty nationally renowned NITs, prestigious Deemed Universities and sizeable number of Colleges across India. Not all states in India have popular institutions for higher studies in engineering. Thereby, by clearing AIEEE one gets the opportunity to study in educational institutions offering degree level courses in Architecture and Engineering that is approved by Government of India. Success in AIEEE is an amalgamation of effort and proper management of time in grasping the syllabus.
AIMS Education trains students to understand fundamentals and concepts and sharpen their problem-solving skills. We implement innovative and effective style of teaching along with logical explanations. Implementation of modern audio and visual methods of teaching makes teaching more interesting. Students are encouraged to analyze concepts for in-depth understanding and better insight in the subject. The course structure in designed in a sequence that would enhance better understanding of the subject over a particular period of time. This would provide students ample time in grasping the subjects and preparing for the examination.
AIEEE consist of 2 papers. All the questions will be of objective type except in Aptitude Test II; answering will be done by shading within the bubble corresponding to the correct answer, from among the 4 answers given, for each question. Each correct answer carries 3 marks, and every wrongly answered question is awarded with (-1) mark, as a penalty. No minimum mark is prescribed in the qualifying examination. Admission is done through region-wise counseling, which is based on the marks obtained in the relevant paper of AIEEE.
Out of the 350 Engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu very few are recognized for maintaining quality, standard and facilitate placement of their students through campus recruitments and also provide counseling for further studies.
In 2009 about 6 recognized colleges are going to be deemed universities. This leaves less number of good institutions in the fray for others who have not taken AIEEE. On the other hand the Deemed Universities are adopting AIEEE for admitting student (either entirely or partly). Apart from this, all the prestigious NITs use only AIEEE as admission test.

This would have been a difficult task a few years back. Now that the State Board students’ curriculum has been enriched, the difference has almost died down. The fact that there are only about 4500 CBSE students finishing +2 in the entire Tamil Nadu annually, and above 30,000 candidates wrote AIEEE last year from Tamil Nadu should clarify how many State Board students took AIEEE! Further the number of State Board students getting into NITs is far in excess of students from CBSE! Significantly, a very large number of State Board students get into NITs and Deemed universities when compared to CBSE students.
Management seat in Engineering often comes for a price in the order of lakh while a seat in an NIT costs less than ten thousand rupees per semester. Also consider the difference in the academic merit the student would achieve. Even though it is conducted at All India Level, state level ranks are awarded for admission to NITs.
Paper II of AIEEE and the online National Institute for Advanced studies in Architecture (NIASA) are two approved tests to gain admission in B. Arch. Council of Architecture (CoA) New Delhi is a central government authority controlling Architecture education and its professional practice in India. B. Arch degree acquired by anybody in the country would be approved for higher studies and professional practice in India only if the candidate had been admitted to that course based on an Aptitude Test approved by CoA.
At least 14 institutions, including the widely acclaimed NIT-Tiruchi, use this exam for Admission in their B. Arch programme. Normal paper-based examination of 3 hrs duration. There are 3 parts: Parts I & II are of objective type, on Mathematics and Aptitude in Architecture, respectively; Part III is on drawing, comprise 2 questions. Apart from B.Arch, other related courses are degree programmes in Planning (B. Plan), Interior Design (B.Des) and Building construction Technology.
All the colleges offering B. Arch and affiliated to Anna University use this examination scores. This is an online test that can be taken any date and time agreeable to the candidate from Jan. 1 to Sep. 30. About 40 centers are approved for this purpose in the country. In TN, MESAI academy, School of Arch in Guindy, Bharath University, Adhiyaman Engineering College are some centers for taking the exam. Fee of Rs. 800 is to be paid in person and registration to be done before appearing for the exam.
This is a 3 hr test with 2 parts. Part I is a paper based 2 hr test involving Drawing carrying 100 marks. Part II is an interactive online test for 1 hr duration carrying another 100 marks. 80 marks out of 200 is the cut off for eligibility.
