CBSE to declare AIPMT 2012 Mains Results on June 2

CBSE will announce the results of AIPMT 2012  Finals on June 2, 2012  at 4PM  IST.  The Results would be available on the website http://cbseresults.nic.in/

The Final Examination was held on May 13, 2012.  There are 2,500 medical seats in the state that will be filled through AIPMT.

2,75,742 candidates had registered for the AIPMT 2012 Exam but only 2,57,960 candidates appeared. Of those who did appear, only 30,788 qualified for the AIPMT final exams. Girls just about edged the boys in the overall tally this year with 15,620 (out of 30,788) of them clearing the exam.

The Final Examination consisted of one paper containing 120 objective type questions (four options with single correct answer) from Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany & Zoology)  and was to be answered on the specially designed machine-gradable sheet using Ball Point Pen only. The duration of paper was 3 hours.

The exam is conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education(CBSE), Delhi for admission to MBBS and BDS courses in several medical colleges around the country. Presently, 15% of the total seats in all medical and dental colleges run by the Union of India, state governments, municipal, or other local authorities in India, except in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir, are reserved for candidates who qualify this examination.

The All-India standardised test was revolutionary in its concept as its primary aim was to enable equitable availability of medical education to all regions of the country and to foster inter-regional exchange. Till recently an additional uniqueness was that it was one of the few all India competitive examinations (along with the examinations for defence services) that was completely merit based and without any reservations. However, in 2006, under pressure from the Arjun Singh headed Human Resources ministry, reservation for SC,ST and OBC has been undertaken in AIPMT.
