All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh

What is the fee structure at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh?

All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh charges almost token-level fees for its core government-funded medical programmes and a higher, self-financed fee for a few professional courses. In 2026 the full-course fee ranges from just ₹1,200 for an MD or MS at the lower end to ₹1,40,000 for the Master of Public Health (MPH) at the upper end, with the flagship MBBS costing only ₹6,790 for the entire 5.5-year programme. As an Institute of National Importance funded by the central government, AIIMS Rishikesh keeps tuition heavily subsidised, so the headline numbers below are a fraction of what private medical colleges charge.

The fees stated on this page are the academic/tuition components fixed by the institute. Living costs (hostel security deposit and a student-run mess) are billed separately and are explained in the scholarships and FAQ sections. Because AIIMS Rishikesh is a public institution, the same fee applies to every category of student; there is no separate, higher fee slab for any reservation category.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below lists the 2026 course-wise fee structure at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh and answers the question every applicant asks first: what will this programme actually cost? It breaks the published institute fee into the tuition/academic component and the residual one-time and recurring charges (registration, library, caution and security deposits, examination and miscellaneous fees), then gives the total payable to the institute. Read it row by row: the "Total Fee" column is the figure you budget for academic charges across the full duration shown, not per year.

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that AIIMS Rishikesh remains one of the most affordable routes into Indian medicine: the MBBS at ₹6,790 and the postgraduate MD/MS at ₹1,200 each cost less than a single month of coaching fees elsewhere. The MPH at ₹1,40,000 is the standout exception because it runs as a self-financed public-health programme, and the B.Sc paramedical/allied-health stream at ₹53,400 is the costliest undergraduate option. The tuition-versus-other-charges split is indicative; the institute's actual receipt bundles registration, caution money and examination fees into the totals shown.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

The table below tracks whether All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh has raised its fees over 2024, 2025 and 2026 for its two most-searched programmes, MBBS and B.Sc Nursing. The direct answer: AIIMS Rishikesh has kept its core medical-course fees flat across these three admission cycles, with the MBBS holding at ₹6,790 and B.Sc Nursing at ₹2,420. This stability is a deliberate feature of the AIIMS model, where fees are centrally fixed and rarely revised year to year.

For an applicant, the practical meaning is reassuring: there is no evidence of a fee hike at AIIMS Rishikesh between the 2024 and 2026 sessions for MBBS, B.Sc Nursing or MD/MS, so you can plan with confidence using the 2026 figures. The variable part of your annual outgo will not be tuition but living expenses, chiefly the monthly mess bill, which is revised by the student mess committee and not by the institute. Always confirm the latest notified fee on the official AIIMS Rishikesh website before depositing.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh

Because tuition at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Rishikesh is already nominal, scholarships here mainly offset living costs and support reserved-category and research students rather than waive a large tuition bill. SC, ST, OBC and EWS students pay the same low institute fee as everyone else, and additional government support reduces their effective cost further.

Government and category scholarships

Eligible students at AIIMS Rishikesh can claim the Post-Matric Scholarship for SC/ST/OBC students, which reimburses tuition and provides a maintenance allowance through the National Scholarship Portal, and the Uttarakhand State Scholarship for SC/ST/OBC/EWS candidates covering tuition, hostel and maintenance. SC/ST students additionally receive a hostel subsidy, and research scholars can access the National Fellowship for PhD-level study.

Special schemes and research stipends

Students admitted from Jammu & Kashmir under the Prime Minister's Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS) have their MBBS tuition covered for eligible candidates. PhD scholars and several M.Sc/MPH research candidates are supported through institute, ICMR or UGC stipends, which for many students more than covers the modest institute fee. Apply early with your admission proof, caste/income certificate and academic records, as most schemes route through the National Scholarship Portal with fixed annual deadlines.
