Do AIIMS hostels provide separate rooms for students?
The general answer is yes. AIIMS hostels do provide separate rooms for students. But this does not apply to every AIIMS.
For example, AIIMS Delhi and AIIMS Raebareli provide separate rooms but AIIMS Raipur doesn’t. The 1st year students have to share rooms with 3-4 other students.
So it all depends on which AIIMS hostel you are in.
I got AIIMS Raipur in the 2nd round of counseling. Should I leave Seth GS for that?
Whether you should leave Seth GS for AIIMS or not can be understood only after going through a general comparison between the two:
Academics: The academics of both colleges are somewhat similar.
Lifestyle: KEM is located in Mumbai so you will have to go through the metro lifestyle which includes pollution, crowd, and an unhygienic lifestyle.
Hostel: Hostel facilities are much better in AIIMS than in KEM. Also, KEM does not provide hostel facilities to 1st-year students. The hostels in KEM are very crowded.
Crowd: KEM has a larger batch and there might be crowding.
The final decision is yours.
How good is AIIMS Raipur?
AIIMS Raipur is one of the top medical colleges in the country. It has one of the best medical faculties in India. It offers good academics and decent clinical exposure to students. There are good flow of patients in all departments, i.e. Surgery, Cardio, Medicine, Ortho, Skin, ENT, etc.
The institute offers all basic amenities. The E-library and the central library have a huge collection of books. There is 24*7 WiFi available in the E-library.
Should I choose AFMC over AIIMS Raipur or any new AIIMS?
Every AIIMS is good and not much comparable. But if you compare it to AFMC, there are some things you need to know.
Firstly AFMC has a bond of 1 cr rupees if you want to quit after MBBS. But the infrastructure of AFMC Isi is exceptionally good. It just does not provide you the basic medical facilities but trains you in shooting, swimming, working in challenging conditions, daily PT, etc. All this will prepare you for a tough future.
The best part of AIIMS on the other hand is no bond is required to be signed. AIIMS focuses on medical facilities only. The classrooms are well-designed. The library, playground, gym, and other facilities add to the overall infrastructure of the college.
I will recommend that you go for AIIMS if you are willing to pursue PG right after MBBS. AFMC on the other hand lets you pursue PG only after serving for a fixed period of time. But don’t worry, the internship offers a good amount of money.
How much is the monthly stipend in AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Patna, Raipur, and Rishikesh for an MD (radiodiagnosis)?
Rather than a stipend, students at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Patna, Raipur, and Rishikesh are offered salaries that involve the deduction of taxes. The total salary of a Junior Student both clinical and non-clinical is around INR 90000/month. After the deduction of taxes and house rent, it amounts to INR 76000/month.
These figures keep changing with time.
Does AIIMS Raipur have a uniform for first-year MBBS students?
AIIMS Raipur does not have any uniforms for freshers. However, it is expected that every MBBS student must wear a white apron with their name written on it, above the institution logo.
Although, freshers at AIIMS Raipur do not have any uniforms professors and seniors advise freshers to always be dressed formally. Boys in Formal Shirts and Pants and Girls in Kurthis with formal shoes. Doctors need to look decent, which aids in building their trustworthy among patients. Mostly, during clinical postings, students will be subjected to patient interaction. To-be-doctors need to build their image and trust with patients. Hence, freshers at AIIMS Raipur are advised to be formally dressed.
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.

Are you a student of AIIMS Raipur? If yes, how's your experience over there?
My friend is a student of AIIMS Raipur. She shared her experience of her college life there.
The campus is situated a bit far from the residential areas. The faculty is very professional and experienced. They cooperate with you throughout the medical examination process.
What catches the eye is the cleanliness of the campus. It’s exceptionally well-maintained and tidy.
The library is massive with an extensive collection of academic books. The annual fest Oriana is a fun-filled event that every student of AIIMS Raipur looks forward to. Many trips are also planned to develop good relationships between students.
My friend says her experience in AIIMS Raipur was one of a kind.
