Why did you chose AIIMS Bhubaneswar over AFMC Pune?
My sister left AFMC for AIIMS Bhubaneswar not because the institute was better but because she had several personal reasons that led her to the decision. In fact, AFMC l has a better campus and better facilities than AIIMS Bhubaneswar, however, it also has a commitment to serve the armed forces. This may hinder your growth to an extent.
Our family was completely against her going to Pune for studies and most importantly working in the forces for a lifetime. She appeared for the interview and the beauty of the campus encompassed her, after which she enrolled herself. However, the 7 days window period which allows you to exit within 7 days taught here a lot. She realized that she won’t be able to cope up with the hectic life among students who were mostly from army backgrounds. The overall environment was very rigid with millions of rules and regulations. Our father decided to get her out do AFMC and enrolled her in AIIMS Bhubaneswar which was much rarer than our home.
Now, as a student of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, she is truly satisfied with her quality of college life though she sometimes looks back at the missed opportunity to serve the country. But seeing her family more satisfied with Bhubaneswar she knew she had taken the right decision.
How are the hostels in AIIMS Bhubaneswar?
The hostels at AIIMS Bhubaneswar are strong, well built, and well maintained.
The UG and PG hostel rooms are almost equal in dimension but PG hostels are facilitated by attached bathrooms.
Boys will be accommodated as double occupants whereas a 2 BHK flat will be given to 3 girls. After 1 year, you will be provided single rooms.
Once you have the room, it is your responsibility to maintain it and properly take care of it without any damage. You will be provided with all the necessary facilities.
If you have options to pursue an MBBS in AIIMS Bhubaneswar or JIPMER, Puducherry, which college would you prefer now?
Both JIPMER and AIIMS Bhubaneswar are equally good in terms of infrastructure and academics. While JIPMER has a magnificent campus, AIIMS Bhubaneswar buildings are more modern because of recent construction. Overall, there aren't many differences between the 2 institutes. The academics, infrastructure, and hostel facilities are somewhat similar. but if I was in your place, I would have chosen JIPMER, Puducherry for UG over AIIMS Bhubaneswar. While this may surprise many, I have logical reasons to support my stance. The one solid reason why I chose JIPMER was the beauty and the places to explore.
- The breakfast shops in Auroville
- The Rocky Beach with moonlight shimmering on the water.
- The Le Cafe
- Villa Shanti
- Villa Helena, Celine’s Kitchen, DisDis&Co, Satsunga, Le Club, Rendezvous, Villa Krish, Coromandel Cafe, and many more.
- A pretty resort, Ocean Spray
While some might find it illogical to prefer a certain institute just because of the restaurants near it, for me it certainly is a valid point. As a medical student, it’s very important to take breaks and these beautiful places will surely take you to a different world.
However, JIPMER is suitable only for UG. For PG, AIIMS Bhubaneswar is the best option because the language barrier is a major problem in the South.
Overall, JIPMER is an excellent option for UG while AIIMS Bhubaneswar can be preferred for PG,

Which is better, Maulana Azad Medical College, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, or Bhopal?
All three medical colleges; Maulana Azad Medical College, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, and AIIMS Bhopal are great institutes offering top-quality education. But AIIMS as a brand is better than MAMC considering the better college environment it offers. Nowadays, Bachelor's degree is more like a qualifying degree, and the better tag you are associated with the better branch value your degree holds. It’s exactly why institutes like IIT & AIIMS are preferred as they give you a varied outlook on the prospects of your career and provide better exposure.
As an AIIMS student, you will have better exposure to research, innovation, management, entrepreneurship, etc. This opens doors for more careers than just a normal clinician. The only two major drawbacks it has are
- Huge patient inflow: The best centers in America focus on quality over quantity.
- Lack of PG reservations
JIPMER is a great institute, even better than MAMC. However, the location, language, and culture barrier might be an issue for North Indians.
MAMC’s high intake is a major drawback of the institute with a student population as high as 250. Even the best faculty won't be able to manage 250 students in one go.
Considering all options, AIIMS is the best option for you!
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.
How fun is your life being in AIIMS Bhubaneswar or do studies just overburden it?
Bhubaneswar is a lovely city and the campus is tranquil and beautiful, unlike the hustle and bustle of life at AIIMS Delhi. As you enter, you will see a blue-roof hospital. Next, you will have an orientation program that lasts for 10 days. Here is a year-wise glimpse of life at AIIMS Bhubaneshwar.

- The 3rd-semester witnesses many fun events and you will be busy with a number o events lined up like Annual Day, Ganesh Puja, and Durga Puja Vacations.

- Overall, the second year is more relaxed than the first year.
3rd Year :
- This year is probably the most laid-back year

- There are no evening classes

The life of a student is how he fashions it and there is no fixed lifestyle. Some spend their days in the library reading while some prefer going out and exploring things for fun.
