The countdown to NEET results: Why medical aspirants should always have a parallel plan
As the NEET UG 2025 results draw near, the tension among lakhs of aspiring medical students in India is palpable. After months and often years of relentless preparation, coaching classes, mock tests, and sacrifices, the next few weeks can feel like the most defining moment of their lives. For most, this period between the exam and the results is filled with anticipation. But beneath the surface, there is also anxiety, uncertainty, and the creeping fear of 'what if?' In this high-stakes scenario, having a parallel plan is not just a safety net but a smart, strategic move. A well-thought-out Plan B ensures students are not forced into last-minute decisions or courses they are not passionate about. It safeguards their time, energy, and mental well-being. For ambitious students, global medical pathways now offer structured, high-quality alternatives that are recognised and respected around the world. From the US and UK to Canada and Australia, international medical schools are welcoming Indian students who are determined to pursue a world-class medical career. Why consider Manipal's American University of Antigua (AUA)? Manipal's AUA is one such globally recognised institution offering a US-modeled MD program tailored for NEET-eligible Indian students. By choosing a globally structured pathway like AUA's, students can save both time and money compared to the traditional Indian route. In India, the typical journey includes 5.5 years of MBBS, often a gap year for NEET PG preparation, and 3 more years for an MD, totalling around 9.5 to 10 years. In contrast, Manipal AUA's program takes just 6 years from Class 12 to MD completion, after which students can begin paid US residencies and start their careers much earlier. Financially, private MBBS and MD education in India can exceed ₹2 to ₹2.5 crore, including coaching fees. AUA's pathway offers a comparable investment but delivers greater long-term value, with global exposure, hands-on clinical training, and earlier financial independence through residency stipends. Manipal AUA graduates 2025 Top reasons to choose Manipal AUA ●USMLE-focused curriculum from the first semester, preparing students for U.S. residency ●Clinical rotations in the U.S., Canada, UK, and India through 35-plus teaching hospital affiliations ●Recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, GMC (UK), and CAAM-HP ●Direct entry after Class 12 with no need for a gap year or pre-med in India ●Personalized academic support through small class sizes, mentoring, and tutoring ●State-of-the-art labs including 3D virtual dissectors, plastinated specimens, and SimMan 3G simulation technology ●Simulation-based learning for real-world clinical readiness ●Education Enhancement Department (EED) offering dedicated academic and career support ●Rolling intakes in January, May, and September giving students flexibility in when to begin Start in Manipal, stay closer to home Through the unique 'Start in Manipal' option, students can begin their pre-medical studies at Manipal's renowned campus in India. This allows them to start in a familiar, supportive environment while benefiting from world-class faculty and infrastructure before transitioning to AUA in Antigua for the next phase of their international medical education. Accelerated by the new trimester system With the introduction of its new trimester intake, Manipal's AUA allows students to begin their medical education sooner. This change reduces the overall program duration to 6 years, helping students graduate earlier, begin clinical rotations faster, and in some cases apply for postgraduate residencies up to a year ahead of schedule. This gives them a competitive edge in launching their medical careers. Hear from our faculty Dr. Ravi Rajput, MBBS, MD, MBA (Medical Education), Professor of Physiology & Course Director – Cardiovascular System (CVS) Manipal's American University of Antigua (AUA) College of Medicine ' With over 19 years of teaching experience in medical education, including two years at Manipal's main campus in India and over 14 years across various international medical schools, I can confidently say that Manipal's AUA College of Medicine stands out. As a Professor in the Department of Physiology at AUA, I've been deeply impressed by our state-of-the-art campus, world-class infrastructure, and the immersive learning environment we offer our students. From our advanced clinical simulation center and high-fidelity mannequins to our VR-powered anatomy tools and extensive online library resources, every element here is designed to enhance learning outcomes. What truly sets AUA apart is its integration of clinical exposure early in the program, students engage in hands-on training through our Clinical Skills Lab and gain a head start through programs like Basic and Advanced Life Support. Coupled with our diverse student body, supportive faculty, and global network of affiliated teaching hospitals, AUA provides an ideal platform for students aspiring to pursue successful medical careers in the US and beyond .'

Aiims Delhi could expand footprint across NCR under new NITI Aayog plan
In a bid to ease pressure on the overstretched medical infrastructure at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (Aiims), Delhi, the NITI Aayog is likely to propose a comprehensive revamp of the institute, according to a news report by The Economic Times. This includes a significant expansion aimed at enabling the institute to deliver clinical services across multiple locations within the National Capital Region (NCR). A report outlining short-term, medium-term, and long-term policy measures is anticipated to be submitted to the Ministry of Health in the latter half of this year. The objective is to ease the burden on existing infrastructure and allow doctors to dedicate more time to medical research, The Economic Times quoted a government official as saying. Utilisation of existing infrastructure The committee is considering the use of underutilised or unutilised facilities in other government hospitals and potentially even private hospitals for running Aiims ' outpatient department (OPD). The move aims to allow the premier healthcare institution to focus on critical and trauma-related cases, while also reducing waiting times for other essential medical procedures, the report noted. A committee led by NITI Aayog member VK Paul is examining the existing systems and processes at the AIIMS. It is expected to produce a detailed blueprint of the proposed reforms soon, complete with defined timelines for implementation, to elevate the healthcare services at Aiims to meet international standards. The Terms of Reference for the reform include identifying ways to streamline patient inflow, developing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to ensure optimal research outcomes, and recommending strategies for financial prudence in managing Aiims. In collaboration with the Centre for Social and Economic Progress Research Foundation, NITI Aayog has analysed the experiences of various countries that have implemented Universal Health Coverage (UHC) models. These findings are intended to inform India's policy development in this domain. Support for rare disease treatment Earlier, the public policy think tank had recommended fast-tracking indigenously manufactured dosage forms (small molecules) for selected rare diseases. As a part of this initiative, four drugs have been introduced at prices significantly lower – ranging from 1/60th to 1/100th – than their imported counterparts. Separate law to tackle public health crises Last year, NITI Aayog had recommended a separate legislation, the Public Health Emergency Management Act (PHEMA), to effectively manage disease outbreaks and pandemics. This proposal is part of the broader Pandemic Preparedness and Emergency Response (PPER) framework, which aims to establish a comprehensive roadmap and action plan to tackle any future public health emergencies.
