GMCH: 1 Answered Question
What should be the preference order, GMCH Chandigarh, VMMC Delhi, AIIMS other than Delhi, CMC Vellore?
I chose VMMC Delhi over the other three options (GMCH Chandigarh, AIIMS (other than Delhi) & CMC Vellore) for my MBBS.
According to me, the order of preference should be:
- VMMC Delhi
- GMCH Chandigarh
- AIIMS (other than Delhi)
- CMC Vellore
My reasons for this preference order are:
- VMMC, GMCH, and AIIMS are government colleges with minimal MBBS fees.
- These three do not have a mandatory bond period.
- VMMC Delhi and GMCH Chandigarh are better than AIIMS (other than Delhi) due to their internal PG reservation system.
- VMMC is a better choice than GMCH because of its location. VMMC is located in Delhi because of which it offers better opportunities. Also, the hospital of VMMC is bigger and VMMC offers more internal PG reservation as compared to GMCH.
Due to these factors, I would suggest you opt for VMMC Delhi for your MBBS course.
