However, AIIMS has announced standard screening procedures for applicants in the medical stream and those in the non-medical stream.

The institution has also advised applicants to refrain from sharing “unnecessary documents” such as pay slips, resumes, appointment letters, relieving letters, and unsigned experience certificates, among others.
