Honestly, I feel the better hospital for surgery depends on the doctor rather than just the institute. CMC Ludhiana is a charitable organization so lacks top-notch facilities like the availability of medicines within the premises. However, the dedication level of the doctors is high and the expenses are similar to other hospitals like DMC, etc. The best part about CMC Ludhiana is the doctors aren't after monetary gains but rather choose to serve the community. They dont practice medicine privately and only attend to the patients in Hospital OPD.

DMC on the other hand is run by Doctors on sales Target or Commissions. The hospital has excellent facilities and highly experienced doctors. However, sometimes the patients are recommended to undergo surgery even when it is not an emergency just to earn money. Moreover, almost every doctor here pursues private practice.

So, there is a drastic difference in the work environment of both institutes. I feel you should trust the doctor personally rather than the institute because both have good and bad cases. The treatment costs of almost all the private hospitals are similar to the government hospitals like PGI or AIIMS etc.

So choose wisely!

Both CMC Ludhiana and KMC Manipal are prestigious institutes well-known for their excellence in the medical field. However, you might want to consider the following points of differences while choosing one of these colleges

• Academics: CMC Ludhiana fares better in terms of quality of academics as it has a highly dedicated staff and the facilities are also top notch. KMC Manipal too is quite decent academically.
• Infrastructure: KMC Manipal has better infrastructure than CMC Ludhiana as it has well-maintained buildings and a lush green campus while CMC Ludhiana is situated amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
• Location: This is a personal factor especially if you prefer staying close to home or not.
• Fees: CMC Ludhiana's first-year fees are around INR 6.6 Lakhs while KMC Manipal MBBS Fees for the first year are INR 17.8 Lakhs which is almost double that of CMC Ludhiana.
• Patient load: CMC has a good patient flow with more indoor and outdoor patients. 

Overall, I feel both the colleges are unique in their own way and you won't regret joining either of these colleges.

Both GMC Patiala and CMC Ludhiana are well-respected colleges in India. Both offer excellent education and resources for students. 

Let's consider the following aspects:

• Fees : GMC Patiala is a government college so it charges much lesser fees around INR 1.74 Lakhs (First Year) in contrast to CMC Ludhiana which charges around INR 6.6 Lakhs for the first year.
• Academics : The academic environment is more or less the same. CMC Ludhiana has a smaller batch size so the student-to-teacher ratio is pretty good ensuring personal attention to each.
• Clinical exposure: CMC Ludhiana because is a multispeciality hospital and has a better patient load and diversity in cases. Sometimes even government colleges refer cases to this hospital.
• Hostels : CMC is a private college so its hostel facilities and overall infrastructure are definitely better than GMC Patiala. CMC Ludhiana students get a single room from their first year. 

However, the only drawback is that CMC Ludhiana is located amidst the hustle and bustle such that one has to cross the main road to reach the hospital from the hostel.
