Questions Asked On VMMC, New Delhi

I will give you some details about the boys’ and girls’ hostels at VMMC.

There are two boys’ hostels and one girls’ hostel at VMMC. The two boys’ hostels are- Old Boys’ Hostel and New Boys’ Hostel. The hostels offer AC facilities, and you can decorate your rooms as per your wish. 

There is no curfew system in the hostels. A water cooler and purifier are available for each floor, and you’ll get an uninterrupted power supply. Local students have to wait for months before getting a hostel room.

Let me tell you about these hostels in detail-

Old Boys’ hostel and Girls’ Hostel:

• These have decent two-seater rooms. Final-year students and interns get a single room for themselves.
• Each room has only a single cupboard. The rooms aren’t very spacious, but aren’t cramped either. 
• People of the same batch share the same floor. 
• Washrooms aren’t very clean but are functional and bearable. 

New Boys’ Hostel- 

• It is located across the road, in front of Gate 7, just 400 meters away from the main campus. You may get this hostel from 4th-5th sem. It has larger rooms and a greener campus. Final year students get a single room. 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students get two-seater rooms. The rooms have an attached balcony. 

The VMMC hostels are quite good, and the campus is filled with greenery. You will enjoy your hostel life at this college.

As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.

• Location- It is true that UCMS is located in the periphery of Delhi, and its surrounding is not as developed as that of VMMC. Regardless, the location of UCMS offers most of the facilities required for a good college life. You can access Cinepolis, PVR and Big Cinemas from here, reach CP in 20-30 minutes by metro/private vehicle, and catch a metro from Jhilmil metro station to explore Delhi/NCR. 

• Campus- UCMS has a beautiful campus, the best among Delhi medical colleges. It has a huge central field where you can play cricket, basketball, football, etc. Boys get single seater hostel rooms from the first year itself. The campus has two 24*7 canteens, a book shop from where you can access all your medical books, an ATM, and a post office.The hospital has undergone renovation, and looks new and well managed.

• Academics- UCMS offers excellent academics. The faculty is skilled and teaches with sincerity. The Histology Lab in the Anatomy department is really good. 

• Extracurriculars- UCMS has a sports society, a western dance team, a theme choreography team, a dramatics team, a musical society, a literary society and a medical education unit. You can join any of these.

According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.

VMMC offers two kinds of MBBS seats- Subsidized and Non Subsidized.

The annual fee for subsidized seats is around Rs. 37,000. On the other hand, for non-subsidized seats, it is around 1.25 Lakhs. The internship stipend is around Rs 26,300 per month. 

VMMC is a prestigious medical institution, and the best place to fulfill your dreams. It is growing at a rapid rate.

The life of a medical student at VMMC is very hectic and full of chaos. 

• It's one of the largest and oldest hospitals in India with Asia's largest OPD so you cannot ignore the heavy crowd during the day. However, after 4, the crowd subsides and you will see the campus is actually beautiful.
• Its central location has its pros and cons. You have many places to shop around and hang out with friends. But the flip side is it has less area for sports facilities although there are badminton and volleyball courts.
• There aren’t any strict attendance policies and the academic workload depends on you alone. Some prefer studying right before exams while some can be seen always engrossed in studies. 
• The college has very approachable and helpful professors.
• The Colleen promotes extracurriculars through cultural societies like Dance, Street play, Music, Fashion, etc. 
• The mess operates 24/7 and serves fresh and hygienic food. Girls’ mess is much better than boys.
• The seniors are very friendly and guide you throughout your first year. They give you books, and previous year's papers and also help you with every trivial matter.
• The college is ragging free. 

Overall, the college environment is peaceful with occasional fun activities. 

No, VMMC MBBS students do not have secured seats for PG in VMMC. Here is how the internal quota of the university works

Once the students complete their UG course from their college, they're eligible for the internal quota of PG seats of their University and not the specific college. This means that the internal quota is for the university and not the college. In your case, the internal PG quota belongs to IPU and not VMMC. So, Students of all the colleges under IPU are eligible for IPU PG seats. 

Earlier there was only VMMC (UG) under it, Mao PG seats were easily available in VMMC and RML, so the seats were kind of secured. But with more and more colleges under IPU, the PG quota of IPU too has lost much of its value.

So, the VMMC MBBS students don't have secured PG seats. 

Yes, you can definitely enter VMMC for a tour. 

It is a government owned institution, so you can visit the campus and have a look at its facilities. You can also catch a glimpse of AIIMS across the road from the Terrace Garden. But some areas like the library may be restricted for outsiders. You’ll require permission to enter classrooms and dissection halls. 

You’ll love the green and beautiful campus of VMMC. It is especially mesmerizing in the evenings.
