Why is AIIMS Patna the best according to you? How's the mess?
AIIMS Patna is a prestigious medical college but like every college it has its own pros and cons. However, it’s still a highly coveted institute and the below points will tell you why
good but along with that, it has way too many flaws also.
- Single room with all the basic amenities one could ask for
- The most coveted and valued AIIMS tag
- No rural bond means no postings in villages which are usually very challenging
- Campus life is always lively with many events and competitions that help you grow as a person.
- Another glittering aspect of AIIMS Patna is its diverse student body with students from various cultures and states studying under one roof
- The infrastructure of the campus is amazing and it's huge
- The few are very few for namesake. It is INR 5856 including hostels
- It is an institute of National importance.
However, the food served in the AIIMS Patna mess is just average and sometimes it’s hard to even feel full. The hygiene levels are also low despite it being an institution of national importance.
The best way is to withdraw your mess charges and eat at the canteens Doctor's Mess or Moti Mahal which provides decent food at subsidiary rates. You can also order food from Zomato/Swiggy. The mess situation is expected to improve in the near future.

How would you compare and contrast PMCH and AIIMS, Patna for an undergraduate?
AIIMS Patna with its fast-paced growth and the AIIMS tag seems a more lucrative option than PMCH. Here are a few points of comparison between the 2
-
- Infrastructure: AIIMS Patna is a winner in this aspect as it is new and has modern facilities and design.
- Location- PMCH is situated in the very heart of Patna City just 1.5 km from Gandhi Maidan while AIIMS Patna is around 15 km from Gandhi Maidan in PhulwariSharif. However, both colleges are easily accessible.
- Hygiene- AIIMS Patna maintains a hygienic environment which is not the case for PMCH. You will be surprised to see how frequently the campus is cleaned in a day.
- Equipment: Owing to its recent establishment, AIIMS Patna has state-of-the-art lab facilities and modern equipment in comparison to PMCH.
- Faculties- AIIMS Patna has a better and more filtered faculty pool because of the rigorous faculty recruitment process of central institutions like AIIMS.
- Hostels: AIIMS Patna students get single occupancy rooms right from the first day while PMCH provides shared rooms initially.
- Peer pool: AIIMS Patna has no reservation quota and thus the peer pool is diverse and comprises the brightest students from all over the country.
- Research: In general, AIIMS colleges have better research opportunities than state medical colleges.
All in all, both are prestigious medical institutes of the country with AIIMS Patna being a much better choice.
How is an MS in surgery at Allied AIIMS Rishikesh, Jodhpur, Bhubaneswar, Raipur, Patna, and Bhopal?
General surgery at any of the AIIMS provides a lesser hands-on experience as there are so many MCh residents/Non-Academic. A surgery resident at AIIMS Rishikesh is posted in General Surgery as well as through all the surgical super-specialties. There will be a lot to learn here and the faculties are also good. Residents are made to do minor surgeries independently like Hydrocoele, Appendicectomy, etc. But in AIIMS you will just be assisting in most of the surgeries. You might be allowed to do these surgeries in the senior year although the number is very less. The institute usually handles complex cases so you might have little knowledge on general cases. The emergency cases are managed by JR and SR only. So you will get a lot of experience here.
You will be doing very minimal work on surgical super-specialties like Plastics, Surgical Gastro, Surgical onco, Neurosurgery, Pediatric Surgery, Urology et cetera. A unique aspect of AIIMS Rishikesh is its separate IBCC (Integrated Breast care center) under Dept of General Surgery which focuses on the multifaceted management of Breast cases in one place. So you will get the best hands-on experience here.
AIIMS Rishikesh General Surgery has 3 units. Each unit focuses on one or two of the organ systems like the colorectal unit, Hepato-pancreatic-biliary unit, etc.
Despite it all, I think pursuing surgery from a state college is better than the central institutes unless you are willing to do MCh in a particular branch.

AIIMS Patna has top-notch infrastructure and campus facilities that enhance the overall learning experience.
Which is better for an MBBS, AIIMS Patna, KGMC Lucknow or Grant Medical College, Mumbai?
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.

- 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

- 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.
