What's preferable between KGMU, Lucknow and AIIMS Patna (taking rural service bond into consideration)?
KGMU was established as early as 1905 while AIIMS Patna was established recently in 202. So the former seems to be more experienced with better opportunities and senior faculties. Let's look at these institutes one to one for a better understanding.
KGMC is one of the prominent colleges in north India and is preferred to many colleges in Delhi. The students here are called georgians
KGMC

All in all, considering the AIIMS tag and the fast-paced growth the institute has witnessed, AIIMS Patna is the best choice for you.

Among the new AIIMS, AIIMS Bhopal tops the list of libraries as well as other facilities.AIIMS Bhopal has a modern-day library which is the best you can avail yourself of. If you need some strong points to believe this, I have listed them below:

-

Hardcopies of Novels, Short Stories and Biographies are also Available.
-
The first floor is for general reading. The second floor is for Medical and Nursing books.

The third floor constitutes the e-library, Individual Reading area, and Computer Section.
-
Free Wi-Fi facility is available on all 3 floors
-
The top floor has Study Pods each with its own LAN Port and 2 Charging Port.
-
On every floor, there is a washroom and a water cooler
Trust me once you step inside this library, you will not want to go back.
Can I prefer AIIMS Patna over IGMC Shimla considering Patna as a city in Bihar?
Yes, AIIMS Patna is definitely a better choice than IGMC Shimla because no matter how much natural beauty you will experience in Shimla, being a state college you will have the disadvantage of bonds.
AIIMS Patna on the other hand is an institute of National Importance that has been growing leaps and bounds over the past 11 years. The best part is that these new AIIMS are expected to grow more in the future while the state colleges maintain a similar situation.
AIIMS Patna will offer the best facilities and infrastructure and you will be guided by the best faculty. AIIMS Patna has a much more diverse student body than state colleges and the experience will be surreal as you are a part of the group. So I feel if you are against Patna because of the city or location, trust me as a medical student you will have no time to explore the city, and mostly your day will be spent inside the campus. So why miss the AIIMS tag!
Will it be a right decision to leave AIIMS Patna for AIIMS Rishikesh or Raipur considering the current scenario?
I am a student at AIIMS Raipur, so I will try sharing some advantages of joining my institution.
I wouldn’t recommend AIIMS Rishikesh over Patna or Raipur. The only favorable thing in regard to AIIMS Rishikesh is that it is located in the lap of nature. But over the years, its hype has somewhat died down partially because of constant issues with the administration. Also, the other AIIMS have seen an increase in their PG seats. AIIMS Patna and Raipur have excelled in other areas, and made up for their lack in terms of location.
The main hospital building of AIIMS Raipur was recently completed, and all the major departments have been shifted in the same. The faculty at AIIMS Raipur is as good as any other AIIMS, and academic excellence is given utmost priority. The attendance system is a bit strict, but it is totally up to the AIIMS standards.
The Trauma and Emergency is top notch at AIIMS Rishikesh, but that is of less importance for an MBBS student. The patient load has increased at AIIMS Raipur over the years. The students of AIIMS Raipur can join various cultural, literary and sports clubs. This helps in overall development and extracurricular achievement.
Thus, I would recommend AIIMS Raipur as a good institution for an MBBS, but even AIIMS Patna is a good choice.
Is it true that the second generation AIIMS (Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur, Rishikesh) are suffering from lack of faculty and hightech medical instruments for MBBS UG course?
MBBS from any AIIMS is equally good and anyone who claims otherwise has false information or hasn’t been exposed to the facilities of these peripheral AIIMS.
As for the high-tech medical instruments, UG MBBS does not require such equipment and the course is conducted mostly through clinical exposure and not research work. For this, we need enough cadavers, well-furnished labs, OTS, and well-maintained lecture theaters.
Every AIIMS provides these top-notch facilities and has excellent infrastructure that promotes a healthy academic environment. The quality of the infrastructure is further proved by the pic below
What you see here is a modular OT and a high-tech faculty that is present only in institutes of national importance because of funding from the government.
AIIMS faculty recruitment is unique and thus it’s not easy to take in just anyone as a teacher here. Moreover, the faculty shortage does not affect the quality of education.
The results of all these AIIMS and the successful doctors they have produce are a testament to their worth and credibility that is almost the same as AIIMS Delhi.
Is AIIMS Patna located on the outskirts of the city? Does it have malls and restaurants nearby and if not how much time would it take to reach main city and airport or station?
Owing to its massive size (134 acres), AIIMS Patna was built a little away from the main city. However, there are connectivity issues and many facilities are available that keep it well-connected to the city. There are many recreational places too that one can explore apart from studying
- A number of restaurants are built right outside AIIMS Patna such as Cafe’7, Second Wife Kitchen and Cafe, Champaran Meat House and Restaurant, etc.
- Recently, a new Monginis Cake Shop outlet has also opened outside AIIMS Patna
- At a distance of 5 km from the campus, a very good market and a new mall is there in Phulwari Sharif.
- At a distance of 7.5 km, many malls and restaurants can be found in the area of Anisabad situated around 7.5 km from AIIMS Patna.
Transport issues are rare as a shared auto-rickshaw ride costs 10 rupees to Phulwari Sharif and 20 rupees to Anisabad from AIIMS Patna. Additionally, you can book Ola cabs and Rapido bike taxis. The campus enjoys good connectivity to the city and airport. Also, it just takes around half an hour to reach Gandhi Maidan. Recently, the elevated highway has started functioning making things much easier.

AIIMS Patna Cutoff 2024 will be released as soon as NEET UG Counselling 2024 begins. The cutoff for MBBS is expected to be higher than the previous year’s cutoff for all the categories.
Mentioned below is the AIIMS Patna MBBS Cutoff based on NEET UG Ranks for the last two years:

Based on the cutoff trend analysis, candidates from the general category must aim at a score of around 670+ in NEET UG 2024 to secure a seat for MBBS at AIIMS Patna. The All-India NEET cutoff rank should be in the bracket of 1500-1900 to be on the safer side for admission to AIIMS Patna MBBS.
