Given the current situation, leaving AIIMS Patna for AIIMS Rishikesh or Raipur is not a smart decision. The following are the reasons:
1. Among all AIIMS, AIIMS Patna has the highest patient input (second only to AIIMS Delhi), and in medical studies, patients are your best teacher.
2. The AIIMS Patna PG entrance result is excellent, with several single-digit rankers in various entrance exams.
3. Dams (coaching for PG) has a center in Patna, so you can easily prepare for PG from here.
4. The campus is the largest of all the AIIMS, with numerous fields for casual play and hanging out.
5. A 1000-bed ward, various OTs, and a large library are just a few of the amenities available.
You should choose the AIIMS closest to your home because with the minimal vacations provided to students, you will have frequent cravings to visit home yet keeping in mind that you cannot take much leave.
If you are looking to compare AIIMS Raipur and AIIMS Rishikesh, here are some points to consider:
If you prefer city life with access to amenities and facilities, AIIMS Raipur might be the better option for you. If you prefer nature and peaceful surroundings, AIIMS Rishikesh might be a better fit. Consider the department and the amount of freedom the college offers before making a decision.
It is recommended that you enroll in SMS, Jaipur. The following are the benefits of SMS over AIIMS:
1. Old and well-established.
2. A higher patient load compared to non-Delhi AIIMS.
3. Arguably superior facilities.
4. You will have a state quota for the PG entrance exam, which is unquestionably important.
In terms of clinical exposure and teachers, SMS Jaipur far outperforms any of the new AIIMs.
