It was in last July, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and Nitin Gadkari,Union Minister for road transport and highways had expressed confidence that AIIMS would start before this academic session. The CM had then directed Sachin Kurve, collector of Nagpur to coordinate with government departments and take adequate measures to begin AIIMS from this academic session.

Now the union ministry team is yet to visit the state for the project and it is at a standstill until the next session. After the National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) results are out, no new colleges can be added for admissions.
