All of these AIIMS are on equal levels with one another. Infrastructure, faculty, and facilities are remarkably similar, so don't undercut any of them. So, excluding these, make your decision based on personal factors.

Remember that it is a common misconception that Raipur is unsafe and least developed. AIIMS Raipur is a wonderful institute that none of you regret attending. They have also achieved some outstanding results in PG. So give it some thought and join any of the institutes you want.

Both the Universities -IPU OR AKTU are average universities so deciding which brand is better is a bit difficult. Still from basic comparison we can say that IPU is better than AKTU. Some strong points to prove this have been mentioned below:

• Being Delhi based, IPU still has better management and organisation than Uttar Pradesh based AKTU.

• AKTU engineering colleges are on the verge of collapse due to which students are now being admitted on the basis of donations or direct admissions. IPU does not accept donations.

• Since the number of colleges under AKTU are more than that of IPU, placement factor is affected. IPU is better in this aspect than AKTU. Better opportunities and companies are offered here in comparison to AKTU.

• AKTU is witnessing a decline in standards whereas IPU is a bit more stable in its placement and evaluation.

So between the two options, IPU is a better option. It has more to offer than any AKTU college can offer. But HBTI is exception as it has now separated from AKTU and it’s an excellent college.

The reason why students prefer AIIMS Raipur to AIIMS Patna is because of its modern day facilities and high quality education.

• The hostel services are exceptionally good. The rooms are hygienic and well furnished.

• It is located barely 15–20 minutes from the heart of the city of Raipur, which has enough places to hang out.

Raipur city is now among the fast developing cities of India and you won’t regret joining this college.

Many students are confused while choosing their AIIMS College. AIIMS Raipur is usually ranked low in the list of 2012 implemented AIIMS.So firstI will address the misconceptions that l led to this conclusion:

• People think that the hostel is far from the campus. When in reality you will be staying in the residential complex. You can come to the campus easily via a bus. Also you will be free from the fear of seniors. Also after a year you will be given single rooms at the hostel itself.

• To have a look at its infrastructure, people refer to its old pictures which are misleading. The college and hostel are in fact massive and house thousands of students.

• There is a rumour that AIIMS Raipur campus is incomplete. In reality, a dental college is being constructed.

• People assume that since it’s located in Raipur, the crowd is also below average.

The only flaw is that the city needs development. All AIIMSs get equal funding and faculty distributed evenly. Yet AIIMS Raipur is underrated.

Every AIIMS is good and not much comparable. But if you compare it to AFMC, there are some things you need to know.

Firstly AFMC has a bond of 1 cr rupees if you want to quit after MBBS. But the infrastructure of AFMC Isi is exceptionally good. It just does not provide you the basic medical facilities but trains you in shooting, swimming, working in challenging conditions, daily PT, etc. All this will prepare you for a tough future.

The best part of AIIMS on the other hand is no bond is required to be signed. AIIMS focuses on medical facilities only. The classrooms are well-designed. The library, playground, gym, and other facilities add to the overall infrastructure of the college.

I will recommend that you go for AIIMS if you are willing to pursue PG right after MBBS. AFMC on the other hand lets you pursue PG only after serving for a fixed period of time. But don’t worry, the internship offers a good amount of money.

I would personally recommend you choose AIIMS Raipur over Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College. Although there are many reasons that have gotten me to this conclusion, I will list down the core reasons that will help you make up your mind. 

Pros-

• AIIMS Raipur is a central institute that lays more emphasis on quality education.

• You don’t have to sign any bonds

• You get to meet a better crowd. This is because AIIMS Raipur constitutes the cream of medical students. Whereas in Pt. JNM, people who are not selected in other colleges usually get admitted.

• The infrastructure is equally good in both colleges. But the hostel facilities are horrible in Pt. JNM.

• The DKR super specialty hospital is the pride of AIIMS Raipur.

• AIIMS Raipur is house to a full-fledged sickle cell research institute

• AIIMS Raipur also has an advanced Cardiac Institute and a new regional cancer center building

Cons-

• The patient load at Pt.JNM is comparatively less than that at AIIMS Raipur This helps you protect your quality over quantity agenda. This is also a must needed skill for every doctor.

• Pt. JNM has an extensive aluminum base whereas AIIMS Raipur lacks in this aspect.

• The faculty at AIIMS Raipur is understaffed. Whereas at Pt.JNM the faculty is experienced and also satisfies the MCI criteria.

I hope the points helped you reach a decision.

If you are confused between AIIMS Patna/Rishikesh/Raipur and Medical College Kolkata, you should study the pros of both colleges. Then you can make a decision on which pros to avail yourself of.

Pros of AIIMS

• The infrastructure is modern and has present-time facilities 

• The fees are very affordable around INR 5800 for 5.5 years.

• The fact that you are AIIMS alumni is in itself valuable.

• The internship offered by AIIMS has a high stipend of around INR 23500.

Pros of Kolkata Medical College

• The most significant feature of this college is the Internal State Reservation Of PG Seats.

• It’s a very old college, established in 1835. As the saying goes Old is Gold. The faculty is more experienced here.

• Being a metropolitan city, Kolkata has a lot to offer in terms of amenities.

The deciding factor should be your own convenience and abilities. The final decision is yours.
