That depends on what you value most in a career. Both MD General Medicine and MD Emergency Medicine are highly respected and challenging specializations, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses.

General Medicine is a broad field that covers the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions. For this, you need to have a strong base in medical science, along with excellent diagnostic and problem-solving skills.

MD Emergency Medicine, on the other hand, focuses on the immediate diagnosis and treatment of acute and life-threatening medical conditions, such as trauma, heart attacks, and stroke. For this, you need quick thinking, excellent clinical skills, and the ability to work well under pressure. Personally, I feel that you should have knowledge of both emergency and non-emergency situations because each and every disease has the complications that make it an emergency. However, academically you wouldn't get the recognition of a full-fledged medicine specialist. You can not opt for Superspeciality courses other than critical care.

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:

• The massive library of AIIMS Bhopal covers 3 floors and has centralized air conditioning.

• The entrance to the library has a sensor-installed automatic door.

• A fully digitalized scanner has made issuing and returning books a hassle-free process

• The library also has desktop computers for browsing the Internet And reading eBooks.

• 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. It also has a Conference Room for practicing Presentations, Discussion Room, and a Room Dedicated to Research Related Stuff. 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.

Here is a general comparison between the 2 colleges 

Location: AIIMS Rishikesh is the best choice for nature lovers and those who prefer an adventurous life. But if you prefer a hustle and bustle urban life and want to spend time shopping, partying, and watching movies then AIIMS Bhubaneswar offers the perfect ambiance for the same. It’s not that Bhubaneswar lacks natural beauty, it’s just that Rishikeshs beauty is incomparable.

 Population: Rishikesh has a less diverse student body being more of a tourist and cultural center. AIIMS Bhubaneswar has a very diverse student body as it’s located in the T hub of Eastern India. With more than 100 top colleges in the city, Bhubaneswar is more student-friendly offering cheap food to easy transport facilities. This promotes better collaboration and faculties go to their workshops, fests, research, etc. 

Culture: Bhubaneswar is a kind of metropolitan and people from all over the country can be found here so there isn’t much language problem and no cultural gap when it comes to food, festivals, or movies.

Connectivity: AIIMS Bhubaneswar obviously provides better connectivity than AIIMS Rishikesh. Rishikesh has both rail and air but the speed and efficiency is much better at Bhubaneswar. This directly affects the patient inflow.

Coaching Centre: Bhubaneswar with its high-pitched city life also has the best coaching institutes like DAMS and Bhatia.

However, the quality of education offered and the opportunities available are somewhat similar in both the AIIMS and I refuse to comment on that. The main deciding factor should be the kind of lifestyle that suits you.

I am a former resident of Chhattisgarh and can comment on this question easily. Well, the biggest reason why students don’t prefer Raipur despite it having great facilities is that most people consider it unsafe for students. The whole of Chhattisgarh is believed to have been dominated by “Naxalites".

However, this is just a misconception as Naxalites are there only in Bastar, Dantewada district, and in the Manpur-Mohla-chowki-chhuriya regions of Rajnandgaon district. Additionally, Naxalites don’t attack common citizens and are only after politicians and policemen. Also, the government is taking measures to eradicate them completely.

Unlike the general opinion, Chhattisgarh is absolutely safe for students so you can consider it for your studies and rest assured.

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.

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.
