I fail to understand why you are even considering a drop year when you can get into the most reputed medical college in India, PGIMS Rohtak. It is second second-best college in Haryana and its Mecial ranking by NIRF was 49 out of 50 in India 2023. It is a reputable medical college in India, and getting a seat there is a great achievement.
The institute boasts of excellent placements and being a government college it has several advantages too. My friend was a gold medalist at PGIMS and is currently a doctor at AIIMS Delhi. His career is in full bloom and half the year he is outside India attending conferences.
So, taking a drop year when you have the option of joining PGIM SRohtak is not wise at all.
PGIMS Rohtak is an amazing choice in terms of campus life, academics, facilities, and hostel. It’s known to have some of the most talented faculty members. Their teaching modules are unique. The labs are well-equipped and the practical classes are quite intriguing. Students learn something new every day.
Regular seminars and competitions are organized to implement the theoretical knowledge of the students. ARMSCON, a national-level conference, is organized every year in mid-October.
PGIMS has a huge campus with excellent sports facilities. There is also provision of hostel and mess facilities but don’t raise your expectations high.
Overall, life at PGIMS Rohtak is pretty good although you might have to adjust a bit.
The daily routine at PGIMS Rohtak depends on the ongoing events, class schedule, class tests, and your interests. One of my close friends shared his routine as a 1st year MBBS student at PGIMS Rohtak
His day began around 6 in the morning. He liked jogging for about 45 minutes in the huge playground after which he would go for Babubhai's tea.
He would take a bath by 7:30 AM and then have tea again in the mess.
By 8:00 AM he would get ready for college and head to the mess for breakfast. After breakfast, he would reach the college at 8:50 AM. Sometimes the ECE Physiology classes start at 8:00 AM so the mess starts at 7:00 AM.
The duration of the first batch of classes is 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Usually, the following schedule is followed
From 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, 2 lectures each of 1 hour mostly of Anatomy and Physiology or Biochemistry take place.
The lunch break starts from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The food served is delicious.
Next, a practical class of either Anatomy or Physiology or AETCOM takes place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The class schedule also keeps changing but you got the idea.
4 p.m. marks the end of the day for the students. You can do whatever you want. Some students like to visit the market to buy groceries while some prefer sleeping. Some play sports while some bookworms spend their time in the library. Dinner is served around 8:00 PM after which students head to their rooms. This pretty much sums up my daily routine at PGIMS Rohtak.
I will always recommend you to choose PGIMS over AIIMS Madurai mainly because PGIMS is a very old Institute established as early as 1959 while AIIMS Madurai is a new college and will take time to establish itself. Moreover, students of AIIMS Madurai have to study along with students of Ramanathapuram Medical College.
So, I will suggest you not to run behind the AIIMS tag.
One of my friends chose to pursue medicine from PGIMS Rohtak. The academic ambiance and the passion of the students here motivated him a lot. He felt like the college had become his second home. He learned many new things every day. He enjoyed studying Anatomy and the Art of dissection although he struggled initially. He was always regular to the lectures.
He feels extremely lucky to be a part of PGIMS Rohtak which brought him one step closer to his dream.
