Comparing the Difficulty Levels of JIPMER, NEET, and AIIMS Exams

When choosing between JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research), NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate Medical Education), and AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) exams, understanding the difficulty levels can be crucial. This article delves into the varying difficulty levels based on my experience and insights.

General Overviews

Priority order based on difficulty level is:

NEET JIPMER AIIMS (to an extent) AIIMS and JEE share a similar physics difficulty level, both being highly ordered and tricky.

Normally, NEET PG

However, a major shift in 2020 saw NEET PG becoming more difficult than AIIMS. NEET PG is now moving towards lengthier, more conceptual questions.

Subject-Specific Analysis

Biology

JIPMER vs AIIMS vs NEET

JIPMER: More than half of the questions in the Biology section are asked outside NCERT, making it relatively more challenging. AIIMS: Almost fully based on NCERT, sometimes even easier than NEET level. NEET: The balance lies somewhere in between, with a mix of NCERT-based and other questions.

Chemistry

AIIMS vs JIPMER vs NEET

AIIMS and JIPMER: The difficulty level is easy to moderate in both exams. Only the assertion-reason questions make the AIIMS chemistry section slightly tougher. NEET: Similar to AIIMS, with a mix of easy and moderate questions.

Physics

AIIMS vs JIPMER vs NEET

AIIMS: Hands down, the physics section of AIIMS is not only above NEET and JIPMER level but also above JEE level. JIPMER: While manageable, the physics section requires a deep understanding of concepts and some extra knowledge outside NCERT. NEET: Moderate in difficulty, with a mix of comprehensible and conceptually challenging questions.

Eng-GK-Reasoning

AIIMS vs JIPMER

AIIMS: Includes General Knowledge (GK). JIPMER: Focuses mainly on English. Both: Logical Reasoning (LR) is common to both and is considered easy.

Practical Tips for Preparation

For NEET PG Aspirants: Practice and familiarize yourself with the AIIMS and JIPMER exams. If you get the opportunity to join the Central Institute, you are lucky due to the higher standards and an additional stipend of around 80k, compared to NEET's 35k and better living conditions in Central Institutes.

Overall Difficulty Levels: AIIMS > JIPMER > NEET (in terms of paper difficulty)
