How are the GMC Mumbai hostels?

AJ
Advait Joshi Posted On : October 3rd, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

GMC Mumbai hostels are surrounded by greenery all around. Apna and R.M. Bhatt are the two hostels for UG boys.

Apna boys’ hostel is better than R.M. Bhatt boys’ hostel in two aspects. These are- its gym and A.C. reading room. As a fresher, you’ll be allotted two/three seater rooms in Apna boys’ hostel.

From the second year onwards, you’ll get a single room or a large two-seater room, based on your rank and preference. You can also select R.M. Bhatt given that it has a vacancy at the time. Bed, table, and chair are provided by the hostel authorities. There is a medium-sized ground in front of the main entrance. Two common washrooms are present on each floor, cleaned three times a week. 

The hostel terrace has an amazing view. Apna has no attached mess, RM Bhatt has a huge canteen. You can eat in the central canteen or 300 P.G. residents' canteen. The food is good quality, and vegetarians and non-vegetarians are both served well.

In what order would you rank MAMC, KGMU, AFMC, IMS-BHU, CMC & Grant Medical College?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : September 25th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

I will try to answer your query and provide some additional information.

After the top most colleges- AIIMS, PGI, JIPMER, NIMHANS and SGPGI, these are the colleges you should try for- Medical colleges in Delhi are the best choice. Out of these, MAMC is the most desirable. It is followed by VMMC, LHMC and UCMS. Then come the medical colleges in Mumbai. KEM is a top medical college, followed by Sion and Grant. Colleges of Kerala and Madras are at par with one another. But Madras Medical College is the best among these. AFMC and CMC Vellore are great for patients, but not so much for the students. 

Thus, MAMC is a great choice. I do not possess much knowledge of KGMU and IMS BHU, so I haven’t talked about them.

Which is better for an MBBS, AIIMS Patna, KGMC Lucknow or Grant Medical College, Mumbai?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : June 1st, 2023
lives in New Delhi

All three insulations, AIIMS Patna, KGMC Lucknow, and Grant Medical College, Mumbai, are well-respected in the field of medicine and have a strong reputation for providing quality education and training to students pursuing an MBBS degree.

AIIMS Patna is known for its top-notch infrastructure and other campus facilities and good academics. It’s the most preferable AIIMS after Delhi. KGMC Lucknow is also a decent college though I am not aware of its infrastructure. GGMC Mumbai on the other hand is the best option of the three. Here is why 

  • Its prime location plays a big role in making it the better option of the 3 institutes. Mumbai is a much more preferred city than Lucknow or Patna.
  • The patient inflow is diverse and huge enabling you to witness a variety of cases both common and rare in your UG itself.
  • Academic-wise too, this institute gives an edge over other institutes. With a well-structured curriculum and highly qualified professors, you will get an amazing learning experience 
  • Great emphasis is given to the attendance and practicals of every subject.
  • In addition to academics, this college is well known for its active extracurricular culture. It has its own Gymkhana at Marine drives in addition to various cultural, and sports events and quizzes.
  • The hostel facilities are also decent as per government standards.
  • There are around 3-4 canteens and food served here is at subsidized rates.

The above list is not exhaustive and there are many more points as to why GGMC is a better choice than AIIMS Patna and KGMC Lucknow. Ultimately, it’s your call to make. If you are after the AIIMS tag, go for AIIMS Patna but if you want to enjoy your life along with decent academics then JJ would be the best choice for you.

Which one is better, GMC Mumbai or GSMC Mumbai for an MBBS?

AB
Advaith Bhaskar Posted On : October 3rd, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

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.

How are the hostel facilities at Grant Medical College, Mumbai?

AF
Anjum Fakih Posted On : November 5th, 2022
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

If you live outside of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, you will certainly be assigned a hostel room from the start. If you live in MMR, you may have to wait up to a year, depending on your address. In the first year, rooms are assigned on a twin or triple-sharing basis. After the first year, you can choose between a single room and a double sharing room.

GMC Mumbai hostels are beautiful, with blushing greenery all around that will take your breath away and then resuscitate you. There are two hostels for MBBS undergrads.

The hostel administration provides iron beds, tables, and chairs. In addition, there is a medium-sized ground directly in front of the main entrance. The staff cleans the two large common washrooms on each floor two to three times a week.

Is GMC Mumbai overrated?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : October 4th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

JJ Hospital offers excellent clinical exposure. It treats diverse cases from across the globe. The hospital handles many high-profile and medico-legal cases. You will be offered ample opportunities to practice and hone your skills. 

GMC offers good extracurricular exposure. You can participate in various activities like sports, dance, music, fashion shows, etc. The college fest ‘Astitva’ goes on for a week each year. The college has its own inter-department cricket team, basketball team, etc. Sports competitions for football, basketball, throw ball, badminton, etc. are held every year. The GMC band has singers, guitarists, drummers, flute players, etc. GMC students win most years in inter-college fashion shows across Mumbai. 

Other than that, GMC hosts plenty of symposiums, debates, competitions, and academic seminars. For UG-level academics though, GSMC is much better. The undergraduate-level teaching over there is more organized and methodical. 

GMC Mumbai isn’t overrated at all. It will help you become an excellent medical professional, given that you work hard and learn diligently.

Why does everyone prefer to do an MBBS at Seth GS rather than GMC Mumbai?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : October 4th, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The sole reason many medical aspirants choose Seth GS for MBBS over GMC Mumbai is the quality of education it offers which places it somewhat higher than GMC. 

Grant Medical College is indeed a well-known medical college but not yet at par with KEM at least in terms of academics. KEM welcomes the best student crowd and churns out many great doctors. 

Seth GS on the other hand is at the same level as the top medical colleges of India, AIIMS and JIPMER in terms of academics. However, it’s yet to match its level of infrastructure, clinical exposure, and research opportunities.

Grant is known to have very old infrastructure, with issues related to internal politics and corruption. However, most ranking magazines place GMC over Seth GS thereby misleading many.

So always consider all the aspects before choosing your college.

How is the life of non Maharashtran students in GMC Mumbai or Seth GS College Mumbai?

AG
Akriti Gupta Posted On : October 3rd, 2023
lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

Students coming from other different states of India might face some issues while adjusting to GMC Mumbai or Seth GS College Mumbai. However, I believe your home state or language should not be an obstacle in your education path because both these colleges are very prestigious and are dream colleges of many. Moreover, their location adds to the never-ending pros of these colleges.

Non-Maharashtrian students might face issues while adjusting to government hostels that have scanty rooms, average mess food, and sometimes terrible roommate tantrums. 

Language barrier is another major issue faced by non-Maharashtrians. It’s better to know Hindi or English, at least but try to learn the basic native language for easy communication with patients, localities, office staff, and peers. If you don’t know Marathi, you will face serious issues while interacting with your patients and this may affect your performance. 

So try to adjust and stay motivated!
