There is a certain level of strictness and discipline in medical colleges. A medical student needs to be dedicated and disciplined to ace academics. Hence, medical colleges do maintain strict rules and regulations to train students to become better doctors in future.

It is a misconception that AIIMS Rishikesh is too strict and disciplined for students. In comparison, with other medical colleges such as MAMC, AFMC Pune and other AIIMS, AIIMS Rishikesh is less strict. However, the institution is very disciplined concerning attendance, assignment submissions and behaviour of students on campus. Some professors do not allow latecomers as a way of teaching students the importance of discipline. Sometimes, students might experience academic pressure and the campus environment at AIIMS Rishikesh will help students experience peace and serenity.

In case of any injustice, students can reach out to the study body welfare association at AIIMS Rishikesh which is dedicated to helping students.

Before I comment on the level of strictness of AIIMS Rishikesh please bear in mind that a strict and disciplined learning environment is crucial for a medical student. You cannot master the level of academics until you are confined to a strict environment.

Furthermore, it is completely a misconception that AIIMS Rishikesh is too strict and disciplined for students. I know many friends from the institute who shared different stories that did not give the impression that they are from a strict environment. If you are concerned about the discipline related to attendance and submission of assignments, well that is true but to a certain point. The teachers do not accept latecomers and they are duly disciplined. The academic pressure is sometimes intense and the administration is also a bit hard on the students. But the serene location and ambiance of AIIMS Rishikesh compensate for it all and is a good outlet for students' frustration.

The beautiful Ganges river flowing near the campus is a visual treat and the morning walks in the Barrage are soulful. You cannot miss the celebrations of various festivals which form a part of the fun-filled college life.
