Hello,

Obtaining a seat in paediatrics at any AIIMS is extremely unlikely given a rank of 10,551 in the General category of the INI-CET May 2025. While more recent AIIMS campuses may have 200–300 students, paediatrics at prestigious AIIMS like Delhi used to close within the ranks of 18–50. It is advisable to think about other specialities or institutions where the cutoff is higher given your rank. To increase your chances of landing a postgraduate medical seat, actively participate in all counselling rounds, including mop-up rounds, and maintain flexibility in your options.

All the best.

For a career in Oncology, including pursuing a specialization like Radiation Oncology or Pediatric Oncology, here's a general path you can follow:

1. Internship Performance : Focus on excelling in your current internship. A good performance will strengthen your application for residency and future opportunities.

2. NEET PG Rank : To get into competitive specialties like Radiation Oncology or Pediatric Oncology, a high rank in NEET PG is crucial. Generally, a rank within the top 500-1000 is favorable for such specialties, though this can vary depending on the year and institute.

3. Specialty Choice :

   • Radiation Oncology : You can enter Radiation Oncology directly after completing your MBBS, without needing to complete Internal Medicine or Pediatrics first. This is because Radiation Oncology is typically a distinct specialty in itself.
   • Pediatric Oncology : For Pediatric Oncology, you need to complete a residency in Pediatrics first. Once you complete your Pediatric residency, you can then pursue a super-specialty in Pediatric Oncology.

In summary, if you're interested in Pediatric Oncology, you'll need to first complete a residency in Pediatrics. For Radiation Oncology, you can directly enter the specialty after your MBBS, but a high NEET PG rank will improve your chances of getting into a good program.
