How is the life of PG residents of DELHI university colleges namely MAMC, LHMC and UCMS?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : October 5th, 2023

The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload. 

Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.

So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.

The first year at your dream medical college can be very overwhelming and dreamy during the initial days. It will take you a little time to actually digest the fact that you have made it to MAMC. However, you should bear in mind the fact that you will be exposed to tough challenges and life may not seem as dreamy as you expected. You might even question your own existence and your dream to become a doctor. You must learn to undertake the stress and give your 100%. You need to achieve your goal now that you are in your dream college!

How is MD Medicine from AIIMS Jodhpur compared to other well-known institutes of India like VMMC Sardarjung, MAMC, KEM, and BJMC (Ahmedabad)?

AB

lives in New Delhi

AIIMS Jodhpur launched its PG course in various clinical branches in 2017 and has been providing excellent training and research opportunities ever since then. The patient load is also very satisfying and enough clinical exposure is offered.

However, AIIMS Jodhpur MD Medicine is specifically not well established so you need to check before coming here.

  • Their GM department has only two assistant professors right now. The department is filled with senior residents mostly.
  • The patient load in this department is very low in comparison to other well-established colleges like MAMC, VMMC, etc.
  • AIIMS Jodhpur lacks the necessary assistance provided by the seniors 

Ultimately it’s best to go for MAMC or VMMC compared to AIIMS Jodhpur if you are specifically targeting MD Medicine.

If someone is getting Maulana Azad Medical College and all AIIMS, other than AIIMS Delhi then what should that person choose?

NK
Nitin Kumar, Posted On : November 20th, 2021
MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College (2023)

This answer may vary from person to person but Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) is a well reputed and much older institution. Hence it has years of educational experience. On the other hand the AIIMS are relatively new and require a lot to learn and develop to be considered at par with MAMC.

MAMC:

  • You can totally rely on the things taught here. As all the classes are taken by some of the experienced teachers.
  • Their years of experience provide proper guidance on how to approach any situation.
  • They have a gigantic campus, attached to notable hospitals like - Lok Nayak, GB Pant and Guru Nanak Eye Centre.
  • There is a 50% DU quota for PG admissions.
  • They have a batch size of 250 students, which at times could feel crowded.
  • Being in Delhi, it has access to many good coaching institutes.
  • Getting proper accommodation may take time.

Other AIIMS (except New Delhi):

  • Campus is almost new and has well equipped labs and equipment.
  • Almost everyone gets a hostel from day one and hostels are really in good condition.
  • Batch size is small.
  • Faculties are a mixture of new and experienced professors.
  • AIIMS Patna does not offer any PG courses.
  • Except AIIMS Bhubaneswar and Bhopal, other AIIMS do not offer PG degree in all courses.
  • AIIMS Guntur and Nagpur function from their temporary campus. 
  • Many departments in other AIIMS are not fully functional.
  • There is less accessibility to good coaching institutes for PG preparation.
  • There is no 50% institutional quota.

Therefore, MAMC, overall, is much better and reliable as an institution. MAMC promises certainty. So it will be better if you go for MAMC. AIIMS Bhopal, Bhubaneswar , Jodhpur and Rishikesh are developing fast, but AIIMS Patna, Raipur, Nagpur and Guntur are still lagging behind.

How is the Life of a MBBS student at MAMC Delhi?

RM
Ridham Mishra Posted On : October 5th, 2023
MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College (2020)

MAMC Delhi is one of the most prestigious medical colleges of India and offers an excellent campus life to its MBBS students. Although the authorities will claim its a rigging free college, the reality is you will have to entertain the seniors to a certain extent. There have been instances when juniors have been asked to dance and sing for their seniors. Some might be banned from the library for being a nerd. However, never let your guard down, and always maintain your dignity. 

The food is very cheap and tasty. The Nescafe Point serves a variety of snacks and coffees and many other delicacies can be bought from the Departmental Canteen. The college has no caste-based discrimination and there is excellent harmony between the peers. You won't face any major language issues here irrespective of whichever part of India you hail from. 

The schedule isn't very hectic and students are given a 15-day break for Christmas and New Year. There are enough holidays to plan trips or visit home occasionally.

Why have you not opted for MAMC KGMC UCMS VMMC through the NEET instead opted for AIIMS Bhopal?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : June 10th, 2023

People opt for AIIMS Bhopal over medical colleges like MAMC, KGMC, UCMS, and VMMC because of their personal preferences and have no grudge against these colleges. The two main reasons why someone would choose AIIMS are because of the AIIMS tag and their readiness to work hard for PG entrance exams.

Academically, all the aforementioned colleges are at the same level even in terms of infrastructure, facilities, and opportunities. Honestly, an MBBS from most medical colleges is similar with little changes. Most colleges provide a similar experience and it’s in PG that the college actually matters. Someone has rightly said that many average colleges produce great doctors while some great colleges produce average doctors. So yes, the institute matters but not to the extent that your career is hampered in any way. 

Always remember Mediocre colleges can produce excellent doctors and excellent colleges can produce mediocre doctors. It’s the decision you make and the skills you acquire that make you a successful doctor and not the institute.

Which is better: Maulana Azad Medical College, AIIMS Bhubaneswar or Bhopal?

HD
Hrishita Das, Posted On : November 22nd, 2021
MBBS from AIIMS, Bhubaneshwar (2021)

Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) is definitely better than every other AIIMS. Though there are chances for AIIMS to grow in the next 3-5 years. But opting AIIMS over MAMC is really not recommended.

  • MAMC has a huge patient load. But you need to remember that a huge influx of patients does not mean a huge amount of knowledge but it means more commotion.
  • AIIMS are made to be tertiary care centers and to receive rare and quality cases. Hence the patient inflow is low.
  • MAMC has PG reservations, which are yet to start at AIIMS.
  • MAMC also gets the locational advantage, being in the heart of the city.
  • The batch size here is huge, about 250, which sometimes becomes problematic.
  • They have a better and more experienced faculty than AIIMS.
  • Due to the pandemic clinical classes are held in the seminar rooms with just 10 students and a faculty. This lets the students interact with the teacher properly.
  • A small group of students is also easier to manage by a teacher.
  • Also the best thing about MAMC is its fees. It is much less than that of AIIMS.
  • An MBBS course is around INR 11,000 at MAMC.

MAMC being a more older and experienced institution has provided its students with some of the best opportunities. But that does not mean that AIIMS is lagging behind. As it is also growing and providing students with the appropriate amount of exposure.

How is the hostel life in Maulana Azad Medical College?

AB
Aditya Bajaj, Posted On : November 22nd, 2021
MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College (2022)

Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) has 2 boys hostels for undergraduate students.

Old boys Hostel (OBH):

  • The OBH is a very social place. 
  • You will have many friends who will act as your guides and advisors. 
  • There is a newly constructed reading room, a basketball court, a badminton court and a 24 hour canteen inside the hostel premises. 
  • The only flaw about this is its cleanliness. 
  • The rooms are small and the bathrooms are not well maintained at all. 
  • But the cleanliness also depends on the students residing. If they try to maintain  their bit of cleanliness, it could still work out.

New Boys Hostel (NBH):

  • The NBH, unlike the OBH, is a quiet place. 
  • All the rooms are for a single occupant. 
  • There is a reading room and a canteen in the hostel. 
  • The canteen closes down around 11PM and opens in the morning around 7AM.
  • The rooms are more spacious and have balconies. 
  • This hostel is comparatively cleaner.

Therefore, OBH is a more social place where you get to enjoy as well as study. NBH is a bit more isolated and you have your own peace of mind.

Which college do you think is better, VMMC or MAMC? Also, I am confused about PGIMS Rohtak since it's my hometown.

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 3rd, 2023

In my opinion, the aforementioned institutes can be ranked in the following manner

MAMC>VMMC>PGIMS

Here are some strong reasons for this order 

  • Both MAMC and VMMC are top-ranked colleges with better infrastructure, academics, research opportunities, facilities, and a huge patient load.
  • Delhi offers a better city life than Rohtak and also better opportunities.
  • The college inculcates a sense of responsibility in the students as they have to do all basic chores on their own from washing clothes to fulfilling other document formalities.
  • The MAMC tag and the excellent internal PG quota at VMMC are other major perks of choosing these institutes. 
  • Delhi has more medical colleges and you can attend all their fests too. It will be an exhilarating experience.

So choose wisely after weighing the pros and cons of both colleges.

In what order would you rank MAMC, KGMU, AFMC. IMS BHU, CMC and Grant Medical College?

KG
Kishalay Gupta, Posted On : November 25th, 2021
Studied at University College of Medical Sciences, University of Delhi (2015)

According to the reviews online by the students of these colleges, here’s what the ranking seems to be like:

  • KGMU has mostly been ranked among the top 5 institutions in India. It usually maintained its place in rank 2 or 3. This institution is 125 years old with proper educational experience.
  • AFMC is a very disciplined institution with strict rules and codes of conduct, as it has direct affiliation with Armed forces. Though being well reputed, in academics and exposure it might lag behind.
  • MAMC, Grants Medical College (GMC) and IMS BHU are at a similar level.
  • Some students claim MAMC to be slightly better than AFMC. 
  • GMC is very popular in and around Maharashtra.
  • IMS-BHU is autonomous; it has the reputation of BHU tagged along which is beneficial.
  • CMC is amongst the oldest medical colleges, but their severe lack of proper facilities in this college and political disturbances have tarnished its reputation.

Therefore it is suggested you either go for KGMU or MAMC, as they will provide you with the required exposure and opportunities.
