Which is better, AIIMS Jodhpur or Rishikesh?
AIIMS Jodhpur is better than AIIMS Rishikesh if you are looking for PG degree. It offers more seats for PG programs. There are 103 seats at AIIMS Jodhpur while AIIMS Rishikesh has 74 seats.
In terms of faculty and patient load too, AIIMS Jodhpur is better. You will be offered good lab facilities. The labs are well-maintained and equipped with the latest instruments.
Every student gets single room accommodation in the hostel. The mess facilities and food quality are better than any other medical college.
Why should I prefer AIIMS Rishikesh over other new AIIMs?
Most of the students prefer AIIMS Rishikesh over other AIIMS because of its location. It is a very peaceful place, appropriate for an educational institution.
AIIMS Rishikesh is also known to offer the best facilities for the students. The course curriculum and overall academics are more or less the same in every AIIMS. But One thing that makes it stand out among the others is the professional exam conducted by them for the students. These tests are in the form of MCQs, which is an Objective paper.
These are some things that make AIIMS Rishikesh better than the other AIIMS. Analyze every detail before getting admission to any college.
Does AIIMS Rishikesh have a uniform for undergraduates?
Everyone at AIIMS Rishikesh has to wear scrubs as their uniform.
When I was a student at AIIMS Rishikesh, this scrub system was not in place. But when I became an intern, scrub suits were introduced, and I had my own with my name on it.
The scrubs are color-coded according to one’s designation. Undergraduates wear gray scrubs, interns and JRs wear green scrubs, and faculty members wear pink scrubs. The Orderlies, support staff, nurses and doctors, all wear scrubs at AIIMS Rishikesh.
So the uniform for college hours is a gray scrub for MBBS students.
What are the rules of AIIMS hostel in Rishikesh?
AIIMS Rishikesh is known for its rigid and disciplined college environment.
- The hostel rules are very strict and both boys and girls have to report to the hostel by 10 pm.
- The rules are even more rigid for girls as they are a lot of restrictions on girls' dress code also.
- Taking a leave for going home is a very difficult task here as you have to go through tedious procedures before your vacation is approved. You will have to fill out an application and get it signed by your provost, followed by the signature of the Dean. Finally, you need to inform your warden and make her talk to your parents as a sign of approval.
- You are not allowed to bring your own vehicles and birthday celebrations are also not allowed.
These are some illogical rules implemented by AIIMS Rishikesh. These rules implemented by the administration cause a lot of frustration. The students are not treated decently and AIIMS Rishikesh lacks the true essence of college life
How is an MS in surgery at Allied AIIMS Rishikesh, Jodhpur, Bhubaneswar, Raipur, Patna, and Bhopal?
General surgery at any of the AIIMS provides a lesser hands-on experience as there are so many MCh residents/Non-Academic. A surgery resident at AIIMS Rishikesh is posted in General Surgery as well as through all the surgical super-specialties. There will be a lot to learn here and the faculties are also good. Residents are made to do minor surgeries independently like Hydrocoele, Appendicectomy, etc. But in AIIMS you will just be assisting in most of the surgeries. You might be allowed to do these surgeries in the senior year although the number is very less. The institute usually handles complex cases so you might have little knowledge on general cases. The emergency cases are managed by JR and SR only. So you will get a lot of experience here.
You will be doing very minimal work on surgical super-specialties like Plastics, Surgical Gastro, Surgical onco, Neurosurgery, Pediatric Surgery, Urology et cetera. A unique aspect of AIIMS Rishikesh is its separate IBCC (Integrated Breast care center) under Dept of General Surgery which focuses on the multifaceted management of Breast cases in one place. So you will get the best hands-on experience here.
AIIMS Rishikesh General Surgery has 3 units. Each unit focuses on one or two of the organ systems like the colorectal unit, Hepato-pancreatic-biliary unit, etc.
Despite it all, I think pursuing surgery from a state college is better than the central institutes unless you are willing to do MCh in a particular branch.
Is AIIMS Rishikesh better than other government medical colleges?
AIIMS Rishikesh is not comparable to the top 4 Delhi colleges like MAMC, UCMS, LHMC, and VMMC. It cannot even be compared to elite state colleges like SethGS, KGMC, GMC Chandigarh, MCK, SMS, SCB, BJMC- Guj, IMS-BHU, and BMCRI. AIIMS Rishikesh is nowhere near the league of prestigious colleges like AFMC and JIPMER too. Sparing the above-mentioned colleges, AIIMS Rishikesh is better than most government colleges.
However, it’s important to note that AIIMS is not just an institute but a brand. It enjoys national importance and thus in the years to come it’s expected to surpass colleges like MAMC and UCMS.
Overall, I consider AIIMS Rishikesh better than most government colleges.
What is the status of hostel facilities at AIIMS Rishikesh? Are they properly developed or not?

AIIMS Rishikesh hostel rooms are spacious. Rooms and washrooms are cleaned regularly. Electricity is available 24*7. Other facilities of the hostel include washing machines, treadmills, and cycling machines.
The hostel warden and staff are cooperating. You can go to them, with any problem you face.
