For the first time in 10 years, a team of students representing the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, secured third position in the Inter-Medical School Physiology Quiz (IMSPQ) annually held by the University of Malaya, Malaysia.
The team consisted of first year MBBS students (now in second year) Aman Tilak, Sankeerth Sadananda, Vanshika Arora, Aditi Rao and Nipun Chandra.
"The competition consists of questions related to physiology. In first year at AIIMS, we have this subject, so only first year students can participate in the quiz," said Aman Tilak, a participant.
AIIMS has been participating in the competition since 2009 but it is the first time that it has been able to secure a position hence proving its mettle, said a senior official from AIIMS.
The competition was held on August 15 and 16. This year, more than 100 teams from over 24 countries participated in the competition. While Thailand stood first, China was able to secure the second position.
Apart from them, Australia, Singapore and Russia also participated in the competition.IMSPQ is an international physiology quiz competition conducted every year in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where medical students from across the world participate.
