AIIMS Guwahati's Academic Launch: Updates and Timeline
AIIMS Guwahati, as part of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) network, made significant strides in 2020 with the launch of its first academic session. The institute officially began operations on September 28, 2020, marking a pivotal milestone in its journey towards becoming a full-fledged academic and medical institution in the region.
Workflow Dependence and Recruitment Process
Being under the mentorship of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, the academic decision for AIIMS Guwahati largely hinges on the progress and decisions made by AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Two key factors in determining the academic commencing date for AIIMS Guwahati include the recruitment of faculties and the availability of a temporary campus. The preliminary faculties needed include Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Clinical Medicine, and Forensic Medicine (CMFM).
AIIMS Bhubaneswar has initiated the recruitment process for these key positions. As of now, the screening process is ongoing. If the recruitment is successfully completed by the end of November, the institute can open the seats by adjusting the final seat matrix. This positive timing would allow for the opening of around 50 seats. However, the probability of meeting this timeline is estimated at 40%, suggesting an uncertain but optimistic outlook.
Announced Academic Plans and Expansion
On August 20,
The expansion potential of AIIMS Guwahati is substantial. The institute is part of the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana and is set to be constructed over an estimated cost of Rs 1123 crore. By 2024, it is anticipated that the project will be completed, leading to the full realization of its operational capacity.
Key features of the campus upon completion include:
A 750-bed hospital A medical college for 100 MBBS students annually A nursing college for 60 students each academic year 22 super specialty departments, including 16 operation theatresConstruction Progress and Future Outlook
