Does all the AIIMS have the same freedom environment like bringing anyone to their rooms no hostel timings or is it only for the AIIMS Delhi?
In AIIMS Bhopal, the hostel deadline for girls is 10 pm and for boys, there are no timings. Even for the girls, the library is open till 2 AM. There are no strict timings for both the girls and boys and they can stay out after 10 pm also. Many students do that.
From the third year, these timings and rules are even more relaxed. Until the third year, a student can have minor arguments with the warden or the guard but there will be no major issues or problems. For events also, there is no one to watch you. With the help of the student union, no one interferes in the college fests or events. They don’t keep a student under eye for 24*7 and students can be around in the hostel campus these times as late as 4 am also.
These rules are relaxed after the first year as earlier the deadline was off till 9 pm for girls. The rule of boys could not enter girls hostels and vice versa still pertains. The students can visit the PG and intern hostels at any time.

You need to understand that entrance examination do not test your knowledge. It is also not in place to select meritorious students. Entrance exams are there to eliminate students.
Anyone who is in the top 100/200, mostly kave the same knowledge. The entrance actually tests your MCQ solving ability. It’s not about knowing every answer. It is rather about eliminating the wrong answers and making a good educated guess.

What would you do if you get both "AIIMS Delhi" and "IIT Bombay"?
It's important to evaluate the practicality of your choices if you get both “AIIMS Delhi” and “IIT Bombay”. For example, if your heart says to pursue AIIMS, you should consider the amount of time and effort that would be required to achieve this goal. MBBS alone takes 4-5 years, and further master's study is necessary if you want to stay competitive in the medical field. It's important to consider whether you are willing to put in the hard work and dedication required for such a long-term commitment.
As an engineer, you may not be suited for the rigorous studying required for medical school. You may find it challenging to sit in front of books for more than two hours continuously, unlike AIPMT/NEET aspirants who are able to do self-study for six to eight hours every day. It's important to recognize your strengths and limitations and be honest with yourself about whether you are willing and able to put in the necessary effort to succeed in your chosen field.
Ultimately, the decision to follow your heart or be cautious with your mind is a personal one, and there is no right or wrong answer. However, it's important to weigh the pros and cons of your choices and make a decision that feels authentic to you. If pursuing a career in the medical field is truly what you desire, then it may be worth the hard work and dedication required. But if you feel that you are better suited for a different path, then it's important to explore those options as well. Remember that the most important thing is to find a career that brings you fulfillment and happiness in the long run.
What is the minimum marks needed to get admission into AIIMS Delhi for general category?
In order to qualify for AIIMS Delhi, you must secure a minimum 50th percentile if you belong to the general category. Further, the cut off will vary as per your performance in the entrance exam.
The cutoff for admission varies from year to year. If you are getting around 135 to 140, then there is a 50% chance of cracking the exam. However, if you have scored higher than 140, you can get admitted without much difficulty.
Last year, one shift of the exam was quite tough whereas another shift was easy. This played a major role in deciding the cut off as 133 was required from students of 1st shift whereas for the other shift, 143 was the minimum requisite.
A score of 145 would get you significantly close to admission but a score of 140 can get you hoping. Admission also depends on how you analyze yourself and how confident you are in your choices.
