In my opinion, IMS BHU is a better option than KGMU Lucknow. Here are a few strong reasons to support my opinion
Both the colleges are excellent in their own way but if I had to choose one, I would have chosen IMS BHU.
Being a central institute is not important, it's about the scope of learning offered at a medical school.
AIIMS Rishikesh is a central institute, so it has a better administration. However, KGMU offers much more practical knowledge to its students. MBBS is all about gaining practical knowledge. The number and types of patients received by KGMU is very high. As you enter your clinical years, you’ll realize the importance of these things.
AIIMS Faculties are better administered than state faculties. However, MBBS is about your own efforts and approach towards studies. Teachers can only guide you, the hard work is your job entirely. So faculties aren’t much of a concern. Moreover, KGMU also has highly qualified faculties.
I would say KGMU is better than all the other AIIMS, except AIIMS Delhi.
The medical colleges paying the highest stipend are AIIMS, KGMU, SGPGI, and RMLIMS. The 7ty pay commission was implemented in August 2019. From the information I gained from various sources, the Gross salary at KGMU is about I NR 106K per month for junior Residents. The inhand salary of a JR at KGMU after deduction of TDS, is 95K given that you are not living in the hostel.
Usually, residents in state colleges receive 40–50K per month, which is very low considering the workload of junior resident doctors. So, compared to that KGMU pays its JRs pretty well.
Life as a medico at KGMU Lucknow is very vibrant and unexpectedly fun. You will enjoy your time here thoroughly and create some amazing memories.
So life here is very dynamic and fun!
It is suggested that you go for IMS BHU over KGMU Lucknow. Here are some reasons to support this statement.
Overall it can be said that both are brilliant in academics. The campus should not matter much. As these choices could vary from person to person. So choose based on your priorities.
Both MAMC and KGMU are top medical colleges in India. However, MAMC has a slight location advantage over KGMU and is also known to have a better environment for medical education.
Here is a brief comparison of these colleges based on common aspects
So, KGMU is a good option if you dont make it to good medical colleges in Delhi.
KGMU has some of the best hostel facilities among UP government medical colleges. First-year students are allotted a new C.V. hostel for boys and a V.L. hall for girls.
New C.V.
This hostel has double occupancy rooms and has the best facilities.
The rooms are well-maintained and hygiene is maintained through regular cleaning and moping of washrooms. The food served in the mess is average. Here is what the New C.V. hall looks like
T.G. hostel
Second-year boys are transferred to the T.G. hostel which is 1–2 km away outside campus. The hostel is an 8-story apartment-like building. The hostel has single occupancy rooms for everyone with a recreation room. The recreation room has pool tables and T.T. Tables, a 2 dumble and one barbell gym, and a canteen. This hostel has average cleaning facilities. This is what the hostel looks like
S.P. Hostel
For the remaining years, the students are allotted are S.P. hostel on the campus itself. It's a huge hostel with double occupancy rooms. It has amazing sports facilities like a badminton court, gym, a T.T. room and an attached ground and basketball court with it.
PG students are allotted the Nehru P.G. hostel, Gautam Buddha, and Mahamaya hostel which offers a lavish and comfortable hostel lifestyle.
Overall, despite being a government college, KGMU has excellent hostel facilities.
My sister is a student at KGMU so this answer is based on her experience only.
Overall, KGMU is an excellent medical college at par with AIIMS.
Life at KGMU can be better understood through pictures

Holi Celebration
Overall, it will be an amazing experience. The initial days might seem challenging but once you adjust to the environment, the fun begins!
I will try to answer your query and provide some additional information.
After the top most colleges- AIIMS, PGI, JIPMER, NIMHANS and SGPGI, these are the colleges you should try for- Medical colleges in Delhi are the best choice. Out of these, MAMC is the most desirable. It is followed by VMMC, LHMC and UCMS. Then come the medical colleges in Mumbai. KEM is a top medical college, followed by Sion and Grant. Colleges of Kerala and Madras are at par with one another. But Madras Medical College is the best among these. AFMC and CMC Vellore are great for patients, but not so much for the students.
Thus, MAMC is a great choice. I do not possess much knowledge of KGMU and IMS BHU, so I haven’t talked about them.
