Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum age limit for AIIMS SRD-CET?
The upper age limit is 45 years on the last date of application. Relaxations apply for government servants, SC and ST candidates up to 5 years, OBC applicants up to 3 years, and PWBD candidates as per Central Government norms.
Can final-year postgraduate students apply for this exam?
Candidates must possess their MD, MS, DNB or equivalent degree certificate or provisional passing certificate on or before the institutional joining date. Those who cannot produce proof of passing by that date remain ineligible.
Is clinical experience mandatory after completing MD or MS?
No additional post-qualification work experience is required for standard clinical specialty posts. A recognized postgraduate degree in the concerned subject satisfies the baseline eligibility requirements for Senior Resident positions.
What is the exam pattern for SRD-CET Stage I?
The examination consists of objective multiple-choice questions focusing on the chosen specialty, clinical decision-making, and general postgraduate medical knowledge. Incorrect answers carry negative marking according to AIIMS examination guidelines.
Are Senior Resident posts permanent positions?
Senior Resident posts at AIIMS are tenure appointments granted for a maximum duration of three years, subject to satisfactory yearly performance reviews. These positions do not lead to automatic absorption into regular faculty roles.
