Up to which date was the OPD milestone of the new AIIMS counted?
- A.31 March 2026
- B.30 June 2026
- C.30 September 2026
- D.31 October 2026
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 31 October 2026. The ministry said the new AIIMS had collectively recorded over six crore outpatient consultations in the five-year period since 2021-22, as on that date, and it also gave the running figure of 97.41 lakh outpatients for the current year 2026-27 up to October 2026. Options A, B and C are wrong because the cut-off named in the statement of 10 November 2026 is the end of October, not the close of the financial year or any earlier quarter. The date matters because the cumulative figure of about 6.01 crore is tied to it; if the cut-off changes, so does the milestone. Remember also that eighteen of the twenty-two approved institutes are fully functional.
