KGMU has some of the best hostel facilities among UP government medical colleges. First-year students are allotted a new C.V. hostel for boys and a V.L. hall for girls.

New C.V. 

This hostel has double occupancy rooms and has the best facilities.

The rooms are well-maintained and hygiene is maintained through regular cleaning and moping of washrooms. The food served in the mess is average. Here is what the New C.V. hall looks like

T.G. hostel

Second-year boys are transferred to the T.G. hostel which is 1–2 km away outside campus. The hostel is an 8-story apartment-like building. The hostel has single occupancy rooms for everyone with a recreation room. The recreation room has pool tables and T.T. Tables, a 2 dumble and one barbell gym, and a canteen. This hostel has average cleaning facilities. This is what the hostel looks like

S.P. Hostel

For the remaining years, the students are allotted are S.P. hostel on the campus itself. It's a huge hostel with double occupancy rooms. It has amazing sports facilities like a badminton court, gym, a T.T. room and an attached ground and basketball court with it.

PG students are allotted the Nehru P.G. hostel, Gautam Buddha, and Mahamaya hostel which offers a lavish and comfortable hostel lifestyle.

Overall, despite being a government college, KGMU has excellent hostel facilities.

No, VMMC MBBS students do not have secured seats for PG in VMMC. Here is how the internal quota of the university works

Once the students complete their UG course from their college, they're eligible for the internal quota of PG seats of their University and not the specific college. This means that the internal quota is for the university and not the college. In your case, the internal PG quota belongs to IPU and not VMMC. So, Students of all the colleges under IPU are eligible for IPU PG seats. 

Earlier there was only VMMC (UG) under it, Mao PG seats were easily available in VMMC and RML, so the seats were kind of secured. But with more and more colleges under IPU, the PG quota of IPU too has lost much of its value.

So, the VMMC MBBS students don't have secured PG seats. 

Government colleges offer excellent patient loads with minimal fees. Everything including hospital equipment, the salary of professors, and all the other expenses are covered by the government. In the case of private hospitals, all such expenses are paid by the students so the fees are high. KMC Manipal enjoys a good reputation because of the clinical exposure and quality of education it offers. In fact, its patient exposure is comparable to that of Government colleges. Being associated with 3 Government hospitals gives you a spectrum of cases and a huge workload for interns and PGs. Here are a few perks of choosing KMC over Government colleges

• KMC gives you an edge over USMLE
• It has an excellent research culture as it helps you to get into ICMR, a short-term studentship. In case you are presenting a paper they even sponsor you to go to a conference.
• The extracurricular culture is also great here. It organized Utsav, its intercollegiate fest, and also allowed students to attend other fests like PULSE (AIIMS), Spandan (JIPMER), etc.

Eventually, the decision depends on your financial status.

Delhi is home to several prestigious medical colleges and institutions, making it a popular destination for medical education. Here's an overview of what life as an MBBS student in Delhi may entail:

•  Academic Rigor: MBBS students in Delhi undergo rigorous academic training, The workload can be intense, with a significant amount of time spent in lectures, practical sessions, and studying.
• Clinical Rotations: As students’ progress in their MBBS program, they engage in clinical rotations where they gain hands-on experience in various medical specialties. 
• Extracurricular Activities: Delhi offers a vibrant cultural and social scene, and many medical colleges have active student clubs, cultural festivals, and sports events. PULSE is the biggest medical cultural festival in entire south-east Asia held at AIIMS Delhi.In April, AIIMS celebrates INFET, the intra-college annual fest
• Library and Research: AIIMS Delhi have well-equipped libraries and research facilities. Students have opportunities to engage in medical research projects alongside their studies.

 In summary, life as an MBBS student in Delhi can be both academically challenging and culturally enriching. The city offers a dynamic environment with access to top-notch healthcare facilities and educational resources. 

AIIMS Delhi does provide opportunities to its students to go to US and UK during their MBBS.

AIIMS Delhi has exchange programs and collaborations with international universities to facilitate the same. These universities include Harvard Medical School, John Hopkins University, Yale University, and the University of Oxford.

Students of AIIMS Delhi, through these collaborations, travel to the US and UK for exchange programs and research internships. This offers them insights into different healthcare systems and research methodologies. It is a huge learning opportunity that offers enhancement of their development as medical professionals.

To participate, candidates must face high competition and the selection is based on academic performance, and research experience, among other criteria.

But, travel and living expenses can cause a bit of a problem. Travels to Harvard Medical School, John Hopkins University, and the University of Oxford are self-funded.

These expenses can come from your pocket. But even ICMR can provide you grant for your research if you convince ICMR of the potential of your research work.

Honestly, the South Indian food served in Pondicherry cannot be tolerated by North Indians for long because they are not used to the spices and the tamarind. But the bright side is, that Pondicherry has some amazing places serving North Indian and continental food. 

I don't think food is a major obstacle for a North Indian MBBS student at JIPMER. Here is what the food at Pondicherry looks like. 

The above pic shows scrumptious Bread and Chocolate, Auroville. The restaurants in Pondicherry are amazing so food should be your last concern here.

As a North Indian, my friend faced some major language issues, especially at the time of applying for ward leave. Her worst experience was the RHC posting during her internship. She had to interact with people in rural areas who spoke a more complex version of the language.

Overall, North Indians might miss their food and interact with their locals but not regret choosing JIPMER despite that!

The internship scenario at VMMC is quite disappointing and tiring. The number of patients is so huge in all the departments and interns have to work more than required to get the work done. Their focus is not to learn new procedures but to complete the work and go. Here is the department-wise scenario 

• Pediatrics : In this department, interns are required to find all the case sheets(files) and reports and arrange them before the rounds begin. They are also responsible for dextrose monitoring and discharges. If you are posted in labor, you will have to ensure the baby’s safety. 
• Surgery : Here, interns are required to do sampling, dressing, and discharges. In emergency minor OT, you will have to I n D, suturing, catheterization, and such. Interns also go to OT to watch the surgeries. Postgraduate students may let you do procedures like hydrocele on minor OT days.
• Medicine : The patient load varies from season to season. In dengue season, it’s maximum and you will always be busy doing sampling and cannulation.
• OBC : Here you are responsible for sampling, cannulation, catheterization, and NST. You can also take deliveries in the labor room.
• Orthopedic : During emergency days you will be busy with cast and traction. You might also have to do skeletal traction.
• For other departments like PSM, ENT, Derma, Optha, and Casualty, the workload is comparatively less so you get a lot of free time. 

Overall, through the internships, you will get confident at least in minor tasks, and gain a lot of hands-on experience.
