The purpose of AIIMS OPD Guide is to help readers understand a patient task before they use an official service. Content is written for clarity, practical preparation and safe handoff—not to imitate a hospital or booking portal.
Source priority
We prefer primary sources in this order:
- official AIIMS institution pages and published documents;
- the official Online Registration System and its help material;
- government health-service pages;
- an official department notice when it applies to a specific route.
Third-party summaries are not used as authority for changing schedules, fees, contacts, availability or eligibility.
How a guide is prepared
Each guide identifies the task, explains who the route applies to, lists what to prepare, describes the general process, covers important exceptions and only then provides the relevant official handoff. We avoid unsupported promises, invented live availability and wording that suggests this website performs the service.
Change-sensitive information
Contacts, schedules, fees, portal steps and service availability can change. These claims carry a verification date and review status in the editorial system. A page may be withheld or marked for review when the supporting source is unclear or outdated.
Medical boundaries
The website does not diagnose symptoms, recommend treatment or choose a hospital department for a patient. Emergency symptoms require appropriate local emergency help, not reliance on an informational webpage.
Independence and commercial influence
Editorial wording is not sold to hospitals, agents or appointment intermediaries. Any future advertising must remain visually separate from guidance and cannot alter a factual conclusion or official-service destination.
Corrections
Substantive corrections should record what changed, why it changed and which official source supports the update. See the corrections page to report an issue.
