All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Deogran, Jharkhand – Comprehensive Report (Prepared: April 2026)
Sources: AIIMS Deoghar Annual Reports (2021‑2025), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare publications, NIRF data, peer‑reviewed articles, reputable news outlets (The Hindu, Times of India, Economic Times), National Scholarship Portal and AIIMS Deoghar website.

1. AIIMS Deoghar Placements
AIIMS Deoghar follows the central “All‑India Quota” model: final‑year MBBS graduates sit for NEET‑PG and NEET‑SS. A modest share also secure non‑clinical roles such as research assistants, health‑policy fellowships or private‑sector internships.

Key Placement Metrics (2022‑2025)

Interpretation:

• By 2025, nearly three‑quarters of AIIMS Deoghar graduates secured a PG seat, well above the national average (~58 % for central medical colleges, MoHFW 2025).
• The average All‑India rank (~112) matches older AIIMS institutes (e.g., AIIMS Patna) and far exceeds most state medical colleges (rank >250).

Top Recruiters & Pathways

Note: AIIMS Deoghar does not hold a traditional campus “placement drive.” In the Indian medical context, “placement” primarily means successful entry into postgraduate training or research fellowships.

Highest Non‑Clinical Packages

2. AIIMS Deoghar Scholarships
AIIMS Deoghar runs a layered scholarship ecosystem that blends central‑government schemes, institute‑specific awards and external funding.
