In what order would you rank MAMC, KGMU, AFMC, IMS-BHU, CMC & Grant Medical College?
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.

Which is better for neurosurgery, CMC Vellore or AIIMS Delhi?
To pursue a specialization as complex as Neurosurgery, AIIMS is definitely the best choice. CMC Vellore is also a leading medical institute but the brand and credibility of AIIMS are unmatched.
A few highlights of the institute that makes it worth choosing are
- AIIMS has a well-adapted system, a huge patient load, modern technology, renowned consultants, and well-equipped theaters.
- AIIMS has a well-managed patient management protocol and executes the latest techniques in its surgical practice.
- AIIMS provides an excellent cadaveric training facility with frequently conducted cadaveric courses.
- AIIMS also has animal training labs where you can expertise on your microsurgical skills.
- Delhi, the capital of India is the huh of everything. A city life, opportunities, hangout places, and coaching institutes.
- Surprisingly enough, CMC Fees are much higher than AIIMS even though the salary at AIIMS is more than double of CMC.
Again, I don’t consider CMC any less but the above points are in strong favor of AIIMS.

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.

What is an explanation for the sponsorship procedure for admission in CMC Vellore?
You can be sponsored only by the organizations mentioned in the sponsorship list. Moreover, being a Christian is not enough and even Catholics are treated equally to non-Christians when applying. From what I know, CMC is run by a group of churches and if you apply via one of these, you have a good chance of getting sponsored.
The truth is these are just formal guidelines and to be sponsored all you need is genuine passion to serve the community. If you are passionate about social service your grades and even religion won't be a hindrance in your path. I have seen many exceptional cases, so what stops you from becoming one?
