Hi Soumik,

NEET is an entrance exam to get one eligible for counselling of  colleges which provide MBBS, BDS,AYUSH courses etc. Present all over the country.

But some colleges (with autonomous    administrative bodies) which  are exception to NEET (e g AIIMS, JIPMER). these colleges conduct their own entrance examinations.

AIIMS UG exam covers just AIIMS Delhi and all other new AIIMS institutions.

1. AIIMS is online while NEET is offline. So in AIIMS you don't need to worry about filling the omr sheet.
2. Number of questions: 200 questions are asked in AIIMS while only 180 are asked in NEET.
3. Time given: AIIMS is for 3 and a half hour and NEET is only for 3 hrs.
4. Sections: The paper of NEET is divided in three sections while there is one additional section in AIIMS exam for GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
5. Negative marking: AIIMS has higher negative marking of 0.33 for every wrong answer while NEET has negative marking of 1/4.
6. Difficult level: AIIMS paper has higher difficulty level than NEET.

NEET is for government colleges and all private colleges in the country.

AIIMS is for all institutes that come under the 'AIIMS' bracket- there are a total of 7 universities, AIIMS Delhi being the oldest and most renowed.

As for difficulty of the exam, AIIMS is less NCERT based and NEET is more NCERT based. Difficulty is similar for both examinations, but AIIMS may be a little more tough due to ambiguity in syllabus.
