I have an option to choose from GMC/GSMC, Mumbai and KGMU lucknow for MBBS. Which college should I opt for?

I will try to answer this query as per my limited knowledge.

As for GMC, its teaching standards have declined. The classes aren’t as rich as in previous times. Even the study culture isn’t as good now. Only the brand name remains. Because of this, GSMC is currently much better ranked than GMC. So if you are from Lucknow, choose KGMU over GMC Mumbai. MBBS is quite stressful, and homely support does a lot for mental health.

Both GSMC and KGMU are good medical colleges. Choosing between these is a bit difficult. Research on the condition of PG reservation at Maharashtra colleges, and Provincial Health Services (PHS) rule in UP. This will help you make a better decision. 

Both GSMC Mumbai and KGMU are excellent choices.Choose between the two based on various factors that I have listed above.

The best way to determine which is better between AIIMS Nagpur and KEM Mumbai is to analyze the pros and cons of these institutes individually and then come to a decision.

AIIMS Nagpur Pros

  • AIIMS Nagpur fees are very low around INR 5,856 fit the entire course (Mess not included)
  • AIIMS Nagpur has all the nicer menu ties and infrastructure. Some of these include a Gym, 2 indoor badminton courts, a basketball court, a volleyball court, cricket and football ground.
  • Hostel facilities are also decent with single rooms for girls and shared rooms for boys in the first year only. Every floor has a washing machine and the hostel is Wi-fi enabled
  • Excellent connectivity with the nearest metro station 3 km away
  • The academic environment is state of the art with labs equipped with modern instruments.

AIIMS Nagpur Cons

  • Being a new AIIMS, it does not have a very huge orient inflow with limited clinical exposure 
  • Being located on the outskirts of the city, you can go out only during weekends
  • There is no student association and CR selection is done on the basis of marks.
  • There aren’t many shops so you will have to depend on online shopping. 

KEM Pros

  • KEM is a highly regarded medical college
  • The PG of KEM is considered of high value in India
  • The college offers a vibrant city life thanks to its Mumbai location
  • There isn’t any ragging and the Bodh between seniors and juniors is strong
  • Being old, the institute has an extensive alumni base 
  • The patient flow is huge because of the reputation and location of the college.

KEM Cons

  • Obviously, being in Mumbai you will have to bear a very high cost of living.
  • The fees are very high. KEM Mumbai M.B.B.S. fees are INR 5.54 L
  • There are no hostel facilities for first-year students.
  • 1-year bond with heavy internship
  • Not a good option for USMLE aspirants as there is a rule that prohibits you from leaving India for 5 years.

After weighing the above pros and cons I conclude that AIIMS Nagpur is a better option as its pros definitely overwrite the cons.

This majorly depends on the student’s choice and what they will prefer. Seth GS and Grant Medical College (GMC) are both good institutions. Here’s mentioning some facts analyzing which you can make your decision.

  • GMC has the largest campus in Maharashtra, also it is one of the oldest colleges in India.
  • They offer both boys and girls hostels. They also have separate common rooms.
  • The hostels are spacious and offer both single and double occupancy rooms.
  • Unlike other medical colleges, many cultural events, festivals, extracurricular activities, etc. take place here quite frequently.
  • Seth GS is comparatively stricter and prefers discipline and punctuality.
  • Most of Maharashtra’s top ranking students usually go there.
  • Students outside Maharashtra tend to prefer GMC.

As mentioned by most of the students that GMC has better academics, facilities and co-curricular activities, it is suggested that you go for GMC rather than Seth GS.

Is it best to take admission in AIIMS Nagpur or Seth GS Medical College in the year 2023?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : June 10th, 2023

My answer is a bit biased towards GSMC as my brother is an alumnus of the same. However, I’ll try my best to justify my bias towards it.

  • AIIMS Nagpur is a newly established college whereas Seth GSMC was established in 1926. It enjoys a better reputation than AIIMS Nagpur currently.
  • As for the bond, GSMC is under the umbrella of MCGM, so you will be spared from serving the bond in a rural area and will have to serve in BMC Hospital.
  • Because of its reputation, GSMC has a better reputation than AIIMS Nagpur and people from all over the country come here. 
  • GSMC has some of the most friendly seniors you could ask for. They help you in every possible way and there is no ragging at all.
  • As for USMLE, it requires guidance from seniors who have established themselves there. This is possible in GSMC because of a wider alumni base.
  • GSMC has the latest amenities with well-established departments providing the best research opportunities. 
  • The MLT and LTs are now fully air-conditioned. 

Ultimately, it’s best to look at the bigger picture and not focus only on the AIIMS tag. GSMC is better in terms of academics as well as reputation. No doubt, lack of hostel facilities does matter but not for someone who is ready to commit himself to the field.

This choice majorly depends on the student and his preferences. 

Seth GS:

  • If you prefer studying a lot probably most of the time then opt for Seth GS. 
  • They have a highly qualified staff and caters to KEM Hospital. 
  • You will be studying amongst some of the brightest minds. 
  • The hostel and accomodation facilities are the only problem, due to its location.

GMC:

  • If you want to enjoy your college life, Grant Medical College (GMC) will be good for you. 
  • It has the largest campus in Maharashtra. 
  • GMC conducts the best cultural fests and events, be it sports, art or academics. This provides great exposure. 
  • The staff here is also highly qualified just like KEM. 
  • Students here tend to lean towards the extracurricular activities more than the studies. 
  • The campus has 2 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel enough to provide lodging for all the students who apply. 
  • The hostel provides facilities like hot water, pure drinking water, beds, tables, etc. 

Most people will claim that KEM is better for your career. But at the end of the day you also need some extracurricular activities to engage in and avoid the monotony.
