Can I do MBBS and BA from IGNOU at the same time ?
Yes, UGC has given its approval regarding pursuing two courses at the same time, only provided that one cannot pursue both these courses in regular mode. This basically means that for both courses to be considered valid,, one course has to be in regular mode and the other course must be in distance mode from Open University.
UGC rules are applicable in the case of IGNOU also. Earlier before UGC made such changes, IGNOU did not allow two regular courses simultaneously through the same University. But in accordance with recent regulations, you can do two regular as well as two distance courses at the same time.

Where should I go for pursuing MBBS PGIMS, Rohtak or NDMC Delhi (Hindu Rao Hospital) ?
Go for PGIMS Rohtak and dont even think twice. PGIMS Rohtak is one of the oldest and most reputed colleges in North India. It has some of the most learned and experienced faculty members many of whom are best-selling authors of medical textbooks.
NDMC is just an ordinary medical college not anywhere near the standards of PGIMS Rohtak. It's associated with the Hindurao Hospital which is quite well known in Delhi. However, the medical faculty and the standard of medical training are rumored to be substandard. Moreover, the MCI has canceled the Recognition of NDMC quite a few times already. So, I will not suggest you take the risk of joining this college just because it's located in Delhi.
Choose PGIMS Rohtak to stay on the safe side.
Why does everyone prefer to do an MBBS at Seth GS rather than GMC Mumbai?
The sole reason many medical aspirants choose Seth GS for MBBS over GMC Mumbai is the quality of education it offers which places it somewhat higher than GMC.
Grant Medical College is indeed a well-known medical college but not yet at par with KEM at least in terms of academics. KEM welcomes the best student crowd and churns out many great doctors.
Seth GS on the other hand is at the same level as the top medical colleges of India, AIIMS and JIPMER in terms of academics. However, it’s yet to match its level of infrastructure, clinical exposure, and research opportunities.
Grant is known to have very old infrastructure, with issues related to internal politics and corruption. However, most ranking magazines place GMC over Seth GS thereby misleading many.
So always consider all the aspects before choosing your college.
