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.
How much minimum marks are required to get either AIIMS Bhubaneswar or AIIMS Bhopal?
AIIMS Bhubaneswar and AIIMS Bhopal are both really popular AIIMS being one of the top choices for MBBS in India. Both AIIMS Bhubaneswar and AIIMS Bhopal have very high cutoffs for general as well as other categories. There are no minimum marks fixed as such to get into AIIMS Bhubaneshwar or AIIMS Bhopal, instead, the candidates should aim to get the set cutoff rank at the All-India level in NEET UG.

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!
Is it true that students get single room in AIIMS Bhubaneswar from 3rd years onwards?
No, AIIMS Bhubaneswar students get single rooms from the 2nd year and not the 3rd year. The first-year students are given a separate area so as to minimize ragging.
In the first year, girls are allotted flats where 3 girls share two rooms, one kitchen, and one washroom/bathroom. In the boys' hostel, there are double occupancy rooms along with a common washroom.
From the 2nd year, everyone gets a single room but with a common washroom. It’s compulsory for all AIIMS Bhubaneswar students to stay in the hostel and there is no concept of a day scholar here.
Is hostel compulsory at AIIMS Bhubaneswar? My house is just a km away from the college
Yes, it is mandatory for all the students to stay in hostels at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Undergraduate students from MBBS, B.Sc Nursing, and B.Sc Paramedical and postgraduate students i.e. Senior Resident, Junior Resident, Ph.D. Scholars and M.Sc. are eligible for hostel accommodation at AIIMS Bhubaneswar.
Students at AIIMS Bhubaneswar will be assigned a hostel room by default irrespective of the location they stay at. Students with their houses nearby can stay in the hostels on weekdays and go back to their homes on weekends as there aren’t any restrictions on that. For undergraduate students, the admission procedure for hostels is done at the same time along with the admission formalities for the course. Students at AIIMS Bhubaneswar hostels are advised to carry basic items like pillows, bed sheets, buckets, utensils, etc along with them for a comfortable stay at the hostels.
Every room at AIIMS Bhubaneswar hostels is provided with a bed, study table, chair, bookshelf, and almirah/ cupboard. The rooms are equipped with a ceiling fan and plug point in every room.
How is life at AIIMS Patna, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Jodhpur, Rishikesh? Is it as cool as life at AIIMS Delhi?
Life at AIIMS Delhi cannot be compared to other AIIMS as it is the mother AIIMS and will always be a notch better than others. Also, its location plays a major advantage in giving you the best college-life experience.
After AIIMS, what was fulfilled by expectations of a dynamic college life was AIIMS Jodhpur. It certainly is heaven for food lovers and has many watering openings every now and then. For everyone, there is a set criteria for a good college life and for my sister, it was one that gave her freedom and academics on the same plate. AIIMS Jodhpur ended up as the best choice fulfilling both criteria.
- AIIMS Jodhpur has a huge campus that is maintained decently and is very safe. My sister loved strolling across the campus and enjoying the serenity of the campus.
- There are many places to travel to during weekends and Rajasthan is a good option.
- AIIMS Jodhpur is known for its dynamic sports environment which is better than any other AIIMS.
- There is no ragging and harmony between seniors and juniors is a common sight.
- The college holds amazing intercollegiate sports and a cultural fest. These are well-organized and attract students from many colleges.
- The professors are cooperative and approachable so you don’t have to hesitate for getting any doubts cleared.
- Every junior is assigned a mentor either from faculty or seniors that guides them and helps them
AIIMS Jodhpur offers a splendid college life second only to AIIMS Delhi.
Which AIIMS is better, AIIMS BBSR or AIIMS Patna?
I am the right person to answer this question as I have visited both institutes for personal purposes and am eligible to comment on their worth. When it comes to AIIMS, there are 2 primary factors to consider.
- Culture: Considering the fact that all AIIMS are on the same level with minor differences, it’s the college culture you are looking for that becomes the driving factor in your decision. North Indians who don’t want a change in environment prefer AIIMS Patna while those who want to explore other cultures and go out of their comfort zone choose AIIMS Bhubaneswar.
- Academics: Again, all AIIMS are almost equal academically but AIIMS Bhubaneswar is slightly better. Additionally, Bhubaneswar is more developed than Patna and has all the basic amenities that a student requires. Patna has a less student-friendly environment and also lacks hygiene due to overpopulation.
All in all, these two factors should not be the only factors you consider and it’s better to talk to alumni
Which is better, SCB or AIIMS Bhubaneswar?
If you are considering pursuing a medical degree in Orissa, you may be weighing your options between AIIMS and SCB Medical College. Here are some key points to keep in mind as you make your decision:
- AIIMS and SCB Medical College are both highly regarded institutions in Orissa, and they are known for producing some of the best medical professionals in the country.
- While both institutions have excellent faculty members who are experts in their respective fields, AIIMS has a slight edge in terms of brand recognition and the quality of its students. This may be due in part to the fact that AIIMS is a newer institution, having been established in 2012, while SCB Medical College has been around since 1944.
- One advantage that AIIMS has over SCB Medical College is its modern facilities. AIIMS is housed in a state-of-the-art building with advanced equipment and technology that is designed to support cutting-edge research and patient care. By contrast, SCB Medical College is housed in a more traditional building that may not offer the same level of amenities.
However, it's important to note that both institutions provide excellent medical facilities and resources to their students. Whether you choose to attend AIIMS or SCB Medical College, you can expect to receive a high-quality education that will prepare you for a successful career in medicine.
Ultimately, the decision of which institution to attend will depend on your personal preferences and priorities. You may want to consider factors such as location, cost, and available programs and specializations, as well as the reputation and resources of each institution.
Can I get into AIIMS Bhubaneswar with an AIR of 1097 and marks of 671?
AIIMS Bhubaneswar is one of the most popular colleges for MBBS in India with extremely high cutoff and competitiveness for admission. The closing cutoff rank for MBBS at AIIMS Bhubaneswar in 2023 for different categories are as follows:
| Category | Closing Cutoff Rank (2023) |
|---|---|
| General | 603 |
| OBC | 1065 |
| SC | 6720 |
| ST | 20333 |
| EWS | 1712 |
Thus, looking at the previous year's cutoff and trends, it is not possible for someone from the general category to get AIIMS Bhubaneswar with an AIR of 1097 and marks of 671 as the AII-India cutoff rank in 2023 stood at 603. Thus, general-category students should aim for a score of 685-690+ to get AIIMS Bhubaneswar. For the OBC category as well, it may be difficult to get into the institute with the given rank and score, as the cutoff rank has an improving trend every year. However, candidates for SC, ST, and EWS categories can get AIIMS Bhubaneswar easily with an AIR of 1097.
Why don't AIIMS Bhubaneswar hostels provide single seated rooms yet all the AIIMS do so?
Only freshers are not allotted single seater rooms at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. The rest of the students are allotted single rooms.
The authorities are somewhat right in allotting shared rooms to first year students. To be away from home for the first time can be very emotionally draining for many students. In such circumstances, having someone around helps them feel connected and happy. Other than that, sharing a room with someone from a different cultural background helps in making them broad-minded and accepting of others’ values. They have someone by their side in a new environment, which is another important benefit of shared rooms.
Thus, not allotting single seater rooms to freshers is a good decision made by the AIIMS Bhubaneswar authorities.
