The seal of the institution highlights various famous structures, agricultural crops, places and [[List of rivers of West Bengal|rivers of Bengal]]. Above and below the seal, the name of the institution is written in Sanskrit and English respectively, and a total of two rice sheafs are depicted on each side. This is indicative of [[Rice|paddy]], the main agricultural crop of Bengal. There is a picture of a book after [[Rod of Asclepius]]. The book represents the portrait of Kalyani AIIMS as an institution providing education to medical students. The blue waters in the lower part represent the [[Hooghly River]] and the bridge above the blue water represents the [[Howrah Bridge]] or Rabindra Setu. The roots-like part beneath the bars of Asclepius represents the [[mangrove forest]]s of the [[Sundarbans]] formed by the [[Gangetic Delta]], [[Brahmaputra River|Brahmaputra]], [[Meghna River]] which houses many Flora and fauna recognized by [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]].The [[Bengal tiger]] symbolizes the pride of Bengal also the national animal of our country. The pictures of the two fish in the seal refer to the abundance of fish in the river of Bengal and a food source in Bengal.
The concept of seal design was conceived by Madhavan C, an assistant professor of physiology.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Chandran |first=Madhavan |last2=V |first2=Akalya |date=Jun 28, 2023 |title=AIIMS Kalyani LOGO Explaination |url=https://aiimskalyani.edu.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LOGO-Explanation.docx.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107231247/https://aiimskalyani.edu.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/LOGO-Explanation.docx.pdf |archive-date=September 18, 2021 |access-date=Jun 28, 2023 |website=[[AIIMS Kalyani]]}}</ref>
