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.

National Health Programs, and Health Management. The second year includes the advancement of all the first-year subjects. The subject of Health Promotion is also studied in the second year. There is no focus area or specialized study.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying in AIIMS Jodhpur?
Some of the advantages of studying at AIIMS Jodhpur are academics at the same level as Delhi colleges, brilliant faculties, access to library and e-library, ragging-free campus, well-furnished single accommodation rooms, and decent mess food.
Disadvantages of AIIMS Jodhpur are its remote location and no outdoor life. Academic pressure leaves little room for enjoying college life.
I am getting AIIMS Rishikesh at AIR 889 and I am happy with it but should I apply for an upgradation to AIIMS Jodhpur? I am from Indore MP.
Both AIIMS Rishikesh and AIIMS Jodhpur are at the same level in terms of the quality of education offered, infrastructure, and research culture. What sets them apart is the college life experience they offer and the students they attract because of their locations. The PG results prove the credibility of both the institutes so choose one based only on your personal preferences.
AIIMS Jodhpur has a slightly better cutoff than AIIMS Rishikesh as most of the toppers are from Rajasthan and end up choosing AIIMS Jodhpur over AIIMS Rishikesh. This shouldn't be seen as a differentiating criterion.
I am inclined towards AIIMS Rishikesh because of 2 core reasons. The newly launched MCG pattern for all its exams that help you prepare for NEET PG and its splendid location in the lap of mother nature. So it is best to stick to your decision and don’t opt for upgradation.
What should I choose, AIIMS Jodhpur or AIIMS Bhubaneshwar?
Both the AIIMS Jodhpur and Bhubaneswar are reputed medical colleges with similar curricula and facilities. Usually, students consider the proximity to home while making this decision. That being said, most North Indians prefer Jodhpur while South Indians prefer Bhubaneswar.
The other factor people consider is the nature of college life offered by these. Jodhpur is a tourist heritage city with a very hot climate whereas Bhubaneswar is a capital metro with a pleasant climate. Had I been in your place, I would have always chosen AIIMS Bhubaneswar over AIIMS Jodhpur. Here’s why
- Trauma center: The trauma center offers practical experience and also trains the students to handle their emotions as a part of this challenging field.
- Mother And Child Block: A new Mother and Child block is on the way to promote Gynae-Paedia learning.
- City life: Bhubaneswar has a student-friendly life with many top educational institutes. Top colleges like XIMB, IIT, IIIT, NISER, and labs like ICMR, and CSIR provide a student-friendly atmosphere. These institutes contact sports events, fests, and science and you can attend these events and make great memories and get exposure.
I don’t mean to demean AIIMS Jodhpur especially when it has the best sports facilities among all AIIMS. Ultimately it’s your decision to make!
Which is better out of GMCH Chandigarh, AIIMS Jodhpur and ABVIMS Delhi considering all factors? What are the pros and cons?
Among the 3 aforementioned institutes, ABVIMS Delhi seems to be the best choice in my opinion. A few benefits of joining this college are

- ABVIMS Delhi offers an altogether different vibe unlike those colleges reeking of rich heritage.
- The college has a state-of-the-art infrastructure but believes in old-school teaching methodology.
- There are interesting on-campus discussions that make the campus lively.
- The college also enjoys the locational advantage of being located in the capital of India and has many places to explore outside the campus like Talkatora Garden and Sports Complexes, Connaught Place, Patel Chowk, Karol Bagh, Raisina Hills, and much more.

Should I opt for AIIMS Raipur over AIIMS Jodhpur if I am from Maharashtra as Jodhpur is further away? I am generally looking for good college and hostel facilities and infrastructure.
Many students are confused while choosing their AIIMS College. AIIMS Raipur is usually ranked low in the list of 2012 implemented AIIMS.So firstI will address the misconceptions that l led to this conclusion:
-
People think that the hostel is far from the campus. When in reality you will be staying in the residential complex. You can come to the campus easily via a bus. Also you will be free from the fear of seniors. Also after a year you will be given single rooms at the hostel itself.
-
To have a look at its infrastructure, people refer to its old pictures which are misleading. The college and hostel are in fact massive and house thousands of students.
-
There is a rumour that AIIMS Raipur campus is incomplete. In reality, a dental college is being constructed.
-
People assume that since it’s located in Raipur, the crowd is also below average.
The only flaw is that the city needs development. All AIIMSs get equal funding and faculty distributed evenly. Yet AIIMS Raipur is underrated.
What are the hostel rules for AIIMS Jodhpur? Is it strict as compared to other AIIMS?
Following are some of the facts you should know about AIIMS Jodhpur hostel facilities:
- After 10:30 PM, you will not be allowed outside the hostel. This includes both boys and girls. If someone wishes to have an Overnight Pass, they can obtain it the same day.
- Both male and female students are provided a Single Room throughout MBBS.
- The rooms consist of a cooler, proper and well maintained beds, mattresses, a table and a chair.
- There is no restriction on the number of gate passes one requires.
- Vehicles are not allowed, but many students keep them. Some of the seniors also have their own cars.
- ACs have been installed by some senior students in the PG hostel.
- Trespassing to other hostels are not allowed, for both boys and girls.
Majority of the rules are the same as other colleges. The hostels usually during your initial years might come across as strict but eventually everything lightens up.
