MBBS refers to Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery and as the name suggests it is a professional undergraduate degree course after completing which one head towards becoming a doctor.

Further, the minimum education required to pursue MBBS degree course is a Class 12th in Science stream with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main subjects with at least 50% marks ( or 40% marks in case of reserved category candidates ) from a recognized board of education.

So, having completed your Class 12th with PCM group, in order to pursue MBBS degree course from AIIMS, you need to first complete your Class 12th once again but with PCB group this time with at least 60% marks ( or 50% marks in case you belong SC/ST/ PH/PwD category ) and then you need to qualify AIIMS MBBS entrance examination held once every year.
