AIIMS Rishikesh — the clear improver
Rishikesh improved from rank 22 (60.06) in 2023 to rank 13 (65.02) in 2025. That is a meaningful score jump and a leap into the Top-15. Contributing factors likely include increased research output, improved faculty strength, higher clinical volumes as hospital operations mature, and better student outcomes. For a relatively new campus, that kind of momentum signals rapid operational maturity.

AIIMS Bhubaneswar — steady climb into the Top-15
Bhubaneswar moved from rank 17 (60.65) to rank 14 (64.31). The campus strengthened across the NIRF pillars—particularly in teaching, learning resources, and clinical experience. Stable leadership and expanding specialty departments often drive such gains.

AIIMS Bhopal — biggest jump by rank
Bhopal’s movement from rank 38 (53.94) to rank 25 (60.15) represents the largest rank improvement among the group. Newer AIIMS often show steep gains once initial hiring, hospital case flow, and research systems scale up. This suggests Bhopal crossed key operational thresholds between 2023 and 2025.

AIIMS Patna — incremental progress, steady rank band
Patna improved its score year-on-year but hovered around the mid-20s rank. That indicates steady institutional growth without dramatic leaps. For aspirants, Patna offers gradual improvements and predictability.

AIIMS Raipur — recovery and catch-up
Raipur started low in 2023 and 2024, then gained notable ground in 2025 (rank 31, score 58.44). This pattern points to targeted enhancement—likely in clinical load and research metrics.

AIIMS Jodhpur — steady score but relative slip in rank
Jodhpur improved its score slowly (62.43 → 63.18) but slipped in rank because other AIIMS accelerated faster. This highlights a key point: rank changes can reflect peers’ momentum as much as a campus’s absolute performance.
