Hello,

The number of holidays provided by AIIMS Delhi for MBBS students during Diwali , Holi , summer , and winter vacations can vary each year, depending on the academic calendar and clinical responsibilities. Here is a general idea based on past norms:

Diwali and Holi

• Diwali : Typically, MBBS students may get a break of 2-3 days , depending on whether the festival coincides with other holidays or weekends.
• Holi : Usually, 1-2 days of holidays are provided.

Summer Vacation

• The summer vacation duration is shorter compared to other universities because of the rigorous medical curriculum. It is usually around 2-3 weeks for pre-clinical and paraclinical years (1st and 2nd year).
• During the clinical years (3rd year onwards), summer vacations might be reduced further due to clinical postings and ward duties.

Winter Vacation

• Winter vacations are typically around 7-10 days , but this can vary depending on the academic year and clinical postings.

Important Notes

• Clinical Postings : For students in their clinical years, the schedule might be tighter, with fewer holidays, as ward duties and patient care take precedence.
• Academic Calendar : The exact dates and duration are specified in the annual academic calendar released by the AIIMS administration.
• Preparation Leaves : Before exams, MBBS students are often granted preparation leave, which might coincide with or extend these vacation periods.

Hope it helps !
