The move comes in the wake of the new institutes facing an acute shortage of doctors. Apart from New Delhi’s AIIMS, there are six other AIIMS in Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur and Rishikesh.

All post-graduates from All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) will now be absorbed within the institutes across the country as part of the government’s move to fill up huge vacancies of doctors and faculty positions.
In order to streamline the recruitment process, it has been decided that all appointments will be made directly by the selection committee and ratified by AIIMS governing body and Institute Body later.
“We have formulated a protocol to induct all AIIMS graduates during placement.
This will ensure that we do not lose doctors to private hospitals because of any delay in recruitment process. For the same reason, we have also delegated powers of the IB and GB to the selection committee, which can now select and appoint doctors directly, the IB and GB will ratify these appointments later,” health minister JP Nadda told TOI.

Nadda said the government planned to counter faculty shortage through exchange programmes. While quality of faculty at new AIIMS has been a concern, the government has decided to exchange faculty from regional institutes regularly.
