What is your review of Osmania Medical College?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : October 5th, 2023

Here are a few pros and cons of the Osmania Medical College that will give you a detailed review of the college

Pros

  • The college has produced highly successful doctors who are currently working in top positions in reputed hospitals like the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and AIIMS New Delhi.
  • Osmania has around 10 attached hospitals. So, the patient flow is huge and diverse. There is a hospital for every subject you study in the Final year. 
  • OSMECON and College Fest are the 2 major events of this college that help students explore their interests apart from medicine. 
  • Osmania has some very amazing professors. One such Physiology professor established the Electrophysiology lab, the first such lab in the entire state. 
  • Internships in Osmania General Hospital are a very rare experience because if you can take care of patients in the most resource-scarce hospitals such as Osmania, you can help patients anywhere on the globe.

Cons

  • Osmania lacks funding to a great extent so is behind research work in comparison to other medical colleges.
  • The old building of Osmania General Hospital is in ruins.
  • No national and international conferences, seminars, or meetings are held to improve its global image.
  • The hostel facilities are pathetic and the mess food is not edible.
  • The campus area has been reduced due to Metro rail expansion.

Hope this helps you!

Which one should I prefer, AIIMS Mangalagiri or Gandhi/Osmania Medical College?

Muskan Shafi Posted On : April 6th, 2024

Gandhi Medical College and Osmania Medical Colleges are both funded by the state government. The facilities and resources might be limited. Whereas, AIIMS Mangalgiri is recognized as an “Institution of National Importance” and is funded by the Government of India.

AIIMS Mangalagiri has well-experienced faculty who are highly qualified and recognized in their respective fields. JIPMER handles the faculty requirement at AIIMS Mangagalgiri. Although the institution has a temporary campus at Government Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada. Now, the campus has shifted to the newly constructed campus. The intake at AIIMS Mangalgiri is 125 seats annually for MBBS. Students willing to seek admission at AIIMS Mangalagiri must secure the required cutoff marks in their respective entrance exams. Despite the admission at AIIMS Mangalagiri being highly competitive, the institute offers admission to PG courses twice a year. As a result, students wanting to pursue higher studies such as MD/MS or DM / M.Ch can apply twice a year through INI CET i.e., INI CET January Session or INI CET July Session. 

The fees at AIIMS Mangalgiri are comparatively less than any other medical institute. In regards to academics. Students joining AIIMS Mangalagiri are offered with excellent medical curriculum as per AIIMS standards. The institute also offers various facilities such as a Guest House, Indoor & Outdoor Sports Facilities, Community Halls, Gym, Dining Area, Hostels, Library, Laboratories and VIP Lounges. 

Although the AIIMS Mangalagiri campus was recently constructed, students are not deprived of any resources and facilities. Overall, the choice of medical education is dependent on individual preferences. However, AIIMS Mangalagiri is one of the premier institutes and will not disappoint the expectations of the students.

Which college should I prefer between the AIIMS Hyderabad and Osmania Medical College (because the AIIMS Hyderabad has just opened here)?

Sapna Malik updated Posted On : October 4th, 2023

Here is my honest observation of both these medical colleges.

My friend studies at Osmania Medical College. According to him, Osmania does not have good facilities. First of all, the college and hospital are located far away from each other. The hospital infrastructure is in a poor condition. The faculty does not teach well, they basically teach from guides. No proper teaching schedule is followed, and campus strikes are very common.

AIIMS Hyderabad is very newly built. But it has top class faculty. Unlike Osmania, the teacher-student ratio is good. Moreover, around 200 acres of area is allocated for sports activities. 

So I would suggest you choose AIIMS Hyderabad over Osmania.

Comparing the Osmania medical college and Gandhi medical college, which is better?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : October 5th, 2023

It's difficult to say which medical college is "better" as it ultimately depends on individual preferences and needs. However, Osmania Medical College offers better exposure as students get to attend postings in 9 different hospitals till the time they complete their final year. Here, every specialty has its own hospital so students get to witness diverse cases during their time in the college. However, it's pretty tiring to travel to and fro to the hospital and then attend classes in the college in the afternoon.

Gandhi Medical College has a hospital within the college premises therefore saving a lot of time for students. However, the amount of exposure they get is limited.

So, it is better to choose Osmania Medical College over Gandhi Medical College.

Do you recommend AIIMS Nagpur over Osmania Medical College?

TD
Tezal Dahiya Posted On : June 10th, 2023

Osmania Medical College is a very old medical institute established in the mid-1800s and has a deteriorating infrastructure now. AIIMS Nagpur on the other hand has been established in 2012 with all modern architecture and facilities. Both the institutes have unique pros and cons and choosing one over the other means which institutes weaknesses you are choosing to overlook.

Osmania Medical College*

Pros 

  • Enjoys a good reputation because of its early establishment.
  • You get help from many seniors in MBBS, MD, and MS, etc
  • Being such an old college, it has an elaborate alumni network with many experienced doctors working in India and abroad. 
  • The institute holds the OSMECON, an undergraduate medical conference 
  • The institute has 10 attached hospitals, for different specialties. The clinical exposure offered is excellent here. 

Cons

  • The infrastructure of Osmania Medical College is horrible and the buildings are falling apart as they are old
  • No emphasis on extracurricular activities

  • Whereas in AIIMS Nagpur every student gets a single room from the beginning, very clean and brand new. Nothing to complain about there.
  • The institute lacks funding from the central government
  • No research culture here so it’s difficult for students. Planning to go to the US for residency 
  • Only 15% of seats are filled through All India Quota and thus there is no diversity in the student body it attracts

AIIMS Nagpur 

  • AIIMS Nagpur actively promotes research work and those interested can approach a professor. Most professors have published research publications, journals, and books and will guide you excellently.
  • A very diverse student body as it has only AIQ. The cutoff is very high so you will be surrounded by the geniuses of the country.
  • AIIMS Nagpur infrastructure is incomparable to OMC as it has been newly established and thus is equipped with modern technology.
  • AIIMS Nagpur has excellent hostel facilities with single rooms for every student, great mess food and other hostel facilities.
  • AIIMS Nagpur focuses equally on extracurriculars to ensure the holistic development of its students.

AIIMS Nagpur 

Cons

Which college is better for doing internship - Gandhi Medical College or Osmania Medical College?

Namrata Das Posted On : October 5th, 2023

Both GMC and OMC are equally good medical colleges for internships in terms of the exposure they offer. However, if I had to choose one between the two, I would have opted for GMC. 

Students of OMC have to roam around from one hospital to another for completion certificates and waste a lot of time in the process. There are students from all over Hyderabad, and sometimes traveling to the hospital takes 45 minutes. For example, the maternity hospital is at one end while the Psychiatry department is at another. This results in many technical challenges and students might find it difficult to get their degree certificate

So, if you have the choice, go for an internship at Gandhi Medical College because here everything is under one roof so you will bewill be saving a lot of time and effort.

Which is better Osmania Medical College or AIIMS Raipur?

ST
Simran Thakur Posted On : November 19th, 2022
MBBS from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri (Expected 2025)

Osmania University is a state college, and AIIMS is a national institute. Each college has both pros and cons, which will vary from person to person.

When it comes to Osmania Medical College, it has a great OP with over 1000 patients per day. Furthermore, it is a well-known brand in the Telugu states and many other south Indian states. It has excellent professors with many years of experience, and you will have no linguistic difficulties if you return to Hyderabad. Other issues to consider include safety and security, hostel conditions, ragging, and so on. It has more affiliated hospitals than AIIMS, New Delhi, providing us with more exposure to new cases and patients.

AIIMS Raipur is a nationally renowned institution with an adequate funding system. You will also be marked with the AIIMS tag. Extracurricular activities abound in central institutions. This college's professors are also experienced. Here, research and other programs are encouraged. Because AIIMS uses a semester system rather than a yearly system, failing will not appear on your final report. It also has more cultural diversity, given that people from all over India will be attending AIIMS. The hospital and college infrastructure is also superior to that of Osmania.

Why Choose Osmania Medical College?
