NEIGRIHMS is a central institute. It is the cleanest medical college in India. It has a good infrastructure which includes a cancer hospital and a state-of-the-art sports ground. The college auditorium is really impressive, and it has state-of-the-art lecture halls.

You can easily approach the teachers and residents for doubt-solving.
The mess food isn’t good. Also, the hostels near RMO aren’t in very good condition. These are two main drawbacks of the institute.

Are there any differences in an MBBS (academics and hostel life) among the AIIMS, Delhi, and MAMC?
Here are a few points of differences between MBBS from AIIMS Delhi and MAMC
- The quality of education offered is definitely better at AIIMS Delhi because it accepts only the top 50 while MAMC accepts 250.
- The internship opportunities are better at MAMC than at AIIMS
- PG at MAMC is better than at AIIMS as the latter provided minimal clinical exposure; they.
- AIIMS has mostly rare cases and very less communicable diseases like typhoid, tuberculosis, malaria, and pneumonia in AIIMS.
- Most AIIMS students are sent to Safdarjung Hospital and there is capping on OPD patients as well. PGI Chandigarh is better as they don't shunt patients anywhere and keep all of them.
- Most AIIMS faculty do not belong to AIIMS and they are not much familiar with its technology while at MAMC you can manage most of the cases from the second or third year of your residency.
I feel at the DM level AIIMS is better but for cardio and gastro, MAMC is better. Ultimately the choice depends on your personal preferences.

Which one is better, GMC Mumbai or GSMC Mumbai for an MBBS?
GMC Mumbai and GSMC have always been compared to each other.
GSMC has great academics and a very competitive environment. GMC is much more relaxed. At GMC, you’ll come across a variety of students- from nerds to all-rounders, to those who study the night before an exam.
Toppers generally choose GSMC as their first preference. But those who spend some time in Grant, usually refuse to be upgraded to GSMC. Grant students are better at extracurriculars, while GSMC students are on average, more studious.
Both are good for an MBBS degree. You should choose between them based on your personal preference.
Why must we do a two-year bond service as an all-India open category MBBS candidate in CMC Vellore?
Though a 2-year bond may seem undesirable for an MBBS student at CMC Vellore, it is quite fair. AFMC has in place a 7-year bond period. In addition to this, several state medical colleges have a bond period as well.
I completed a 2 year bond period after my MBBS from CMC Vellore in 2017. The bond period is a great time for learning. It transformed a fresh MBBS graduate like me into a clinician/surgeon. It is the perfect time to decide on MD specialization.
During my bond period, I worked for 2 years in a secondary hospital where the patient profiles were very diverse. The hospital I worked at receives patients with MIs, DKA, Strokes, PUOs, CKD, RTAs with polytrauma and head injuries, etc.
By the end of my bond period, I had received so much exposure that I knew which PG specialization I wanted to opt for. It is much better than sitting at home and mugging books. Practical knowledge is essential in the field of medicine.
My experience has helped shape me as a clinician. Thus, I would suggest you do not regret choosing CMC Vellore because of the 2-year bond period.
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 many students who study for an MBBS in AIIMS Delhi also pursue a PG in AIIMS Delhi?
After completing their MBBS from AIIMS Delhi students usually go for either of these things
- 40–50% go for PG in AIIMS Delhi itself
- 20% go for PGI Chandigarh
- 10 % go to government colleges.
Rest pursue their dreams or prepare for Civil. Recently, the majority of the batch is seen leaving India for higher studies in the US.
Is AIIMS Delhi safe for a female MBBS UG student?
I cannot comment on the safety of the city as a whole but the AIIMS Delhi campus is one of the safest campuses you will find here. The college is safe for both boys and girls and students roam inside or outside the campus the entire day and no problems have been caused.
Here, the female students are given a level of freedom to come and go as their will, and their privacy is maintained.
Located in South Delhi, the campus area is safer than other parts of the city as it’s one of the most sophisticated areas of Delhi. Additionally, famous colleges in close proximity like IIT Delhi, NIFT Delhi, VMMC, and DU colleges maintain the decorum of the area. Even the Indian Parliament and India Gate are located nearby which is one of the safest areas in the whole country.
The students don’t have to travel far as most facilities are available on the campus be it a parlor or anything. Malls, cafés, and clubs can be found in close vicinity of 1–2 km making it safe for the students to go out.
I think safety should never be a concern for female M.B.B.S. students here and you can rely on the institute's security.
Which is better for MBBS: KMC Manipal or GSVM Kanpur?
KMC Manipal has an excellent crowd contrary to the general perception. Here, you need brains and not money to get admission. The admissions are based on merits so the quality of the crowd is not compromised at all. Only about 10% of the batch are NEI students or those with Indian ethnicity but are not citizens of this country WHO had to pay to get their seats. There are no management seats at all. The truth is that the number of meritorious students in government colleges is actually less because they have reservations for backward classes while private colleges do not.
So, go for KMC Manipal!
