Delhi does not have its own common entrance exam for Medical admissions. Each institution that offers Medicine as a course follows its own procedure for admitting students.
Essentially, you can pursue Medicine as a course in the following 3 ways:
1. Study Medicine/Dentistry at a college affiliated to the Delhi University.
2. Study Medicine/Dentistry at a college affiliated to the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU).
3. Study Medicine/Dentistry at the Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (HIMSR), which is affiliated to the Hamdard Unviersity.
The criteria and procedure for admissions will depend on the institution you wish to apply to.
