IMS BHU NEET-PG cutoff 2023 (Out): Check NEET-PG Round Wise Cutoffs

It is suggested that you go for IMS BHU over KGMU Lucknow. Here are some reasons to support this statement.

• IMS BHU is a central institution, while KGMU is under the State Government.
• It has only 100 students while KGMU has 250 students. The competition is balanced when there are lesser students.
• It has an internal PG reservation (50%) while KGMU has a State reservation (50%).
• IMS BHU being central offers more Stipend (INR 23,500) as compared to KGMU (INR 7500).
• If you prefer western culture you will like Lucknow more than Varanasi. Though this varies among everyone.
• KGMU has a rural service bond of 2 years for UG which is the major drawback. However, it has a better-maintained campus than IMS BHU.

Overall it can be said that both are brilliant in academics. The campus should not matter much. As these choices could vary from person to person. So choose based on your priorities.

Choosing among the above mentioned colleges is completely an individual’s decision, as this could depend on several factors like location, fees, academic curriculum, etc. Here are some facts about these institutes, which will give you a basic idea of them.

AIIMS Jodhpur:

• It is among the 6 new AIIMS. 
• The seniors here can guide you through your journey. 
• The associated hospital has also taken its shape. 
• But, some candidates prefer AIIMS Bhopal over this as it ranks below. 
• So, overall it is not a good choice.

JIPMER Puducherry:

• It is the AIIMS of Southern India. 
• The best students in this region who don’t opt for AIIMS, New Delhi, join this institute. 
• There is a 33% reservation on PG seats for students who have passed MBBS from this institute.

IMS BHU, Varanasi:

• It is another grand and prestigious medical college in the country. 
• It is a beautiful, lush, green campus of the Banaras Hindu University. 
• IMS also has seats reserved in PG courses for those students who have passed MBBS from here.

AFMC Pune:

• It is one of the prestigious medical colleges in the country. 
• If you wish to serve in the Army, Navy or Air force as a doctor this is your option. Only problem is that there’s a minimum of 7 years liability to serve in the armed forces against an indemnity bond of INR 25 lakh. 
• But, there’s reservation in PG seats for AMC and Ex-AMC candidates.

If you are selected in all these institutes then you should go for either JIPMER or IMS BHU. As AIIMS Jodhpur is a very new establishment and AFMC is for the ones who prefer to join the army. Choose the one that gives you a locational advantage as well.

According to the reviews online by the students of these colleges, here’s what the ranking seems to be like:

• KGMU has mostly been ranked among the top 5 institutions in India. It usually maintained its place in rank 2 or 3. This institution is 125 years old with proper educational experience.
• AFMC is a very disciplined institution with strict rules and codes of conduct, as it has direct affiliation with Armed forces. Though being well reputed, in academics and exposure it might lag behind.
• MAMC, Grants Medical College (GMC) and IMS BHU are at a similar level.
• Some students claim MAMC to be slightly better than AFMC. 
• GMC is very popular in and around Maharashtra.
• IMS-BHU is autonomous; it has the reputation of BHU tagged along which is beneficial.
• CMC is amongst the oldest medical colleges, but their severe lack of proper facilities in this college and political disturbances have tarnished its reputation.

Therefore it is suggested you either go for KGMU or MAMC, as they will provide you with the required exposure and opportunities.

Both IMS BHU and Grant Medical College (GMC) are among the best medical colleges of India. As one of my friends studied in IMS BHU, I am familiar with the institute.

• It is a lot better than GMC, as it is a central university which receives a lot of funds. This goes to the development of the institution.
• They have well constructed laboratories with all the necessary updated facilities.
• Their hostels are spacious. 
• The crowd is very welcoming and accepting.
• They have lower fees, no bond or reimbursement and also offer internal postgraduate seats.
• Students here get the proper opportunity to do their research work.

GMC is overrated. It has average infrastructure. The most important thing that diminished its popularity is the internal politics and compulsory bond by Maharashtra government. Though they have a good location, IMS BHU tops its academics and the opportunities provided to their students.
