As a fresher at LHMC, you’ll realize the burden of being a med student. Tests will be conducted every week, and the academics will be burdened. But it is the case with co-ed medical colleges too.

From 2nd year though, things will start to relax. You’ll make friends, and start exploring. LHMC is located in CP, so you’ll have access to all the amazing spots. Sometimes you’ll bunk postings and party all night long.

But most importantly, you’ll feel extremely proud of being a part of LHMC.

A girls’ environment does get toxic at times. Gossip culture and rumors will be quite prevalent, but you’ll learn to pay no attention to all this. You’ll develop a good dressing sense by watching others dress up so elegantly. You’ll celebrate festivals, and create endless memories with friends.

So basically, life at LHMC is anything but boring. 

The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload. 

Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.

So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.

It's rightly said, a picture speaks more than a thousand words. Here are a few pictures of the LHMC campus to give you a clear idea of the campus life and infrastructure of this college.

Your life will change for the better at LHMC. Here are a few things about this college-

1. LHMC is an emotion for its students. You might not like it here in the beginning, but slowly you’ll fall in love with this place.
2. The departments are strict for freshers and second-year students. But from the third year onwards, everything is much more relaxed. 
3. The departments are well-functioning, busy, and filled with interesting cases.
4. You’ll get ample opportunities for personality development. The college has ten societies, multiple clubs, workshops, conferences, etc. You’ll get ample chances to step out of your comfort zone. 
5. You’ll get lots of freedom here. Make sure to use it with responsibility.
6. The senior-junior interaction is good over here. Maintain good relationships with seniors, they’ll help you a lot in this journey. 

Enjoy each and every moment at this college, and make use of all the resources.

Being a day scholar at LHMC has its own pros and cons.

LHMC is located in CP, and well connected to the rest of Delhi NCR via metro. So commuting on regular days is no issue at all. Metro time is rather enjoyable. You can catch up with friends from other colleges. It is a good opportunity to finish your typing/editing work and save up some time. Metro will become an indispensable part of your daily routine.

But during exams, and particularly practicals, spending 2+ hours commuting is a waste of time. Even during theory exams, it is a struggle to travel back and forth from the college daily.

Carrying heavy books to and from the college is very hectic, one such book is Park’s and Robbins. Another thing is that you’ll miss out on a lot of fests and events. Traveling back home after the celebrations is an issue.

So yes, there will definitely be days when you regret being a day scholar at LHMC. But it is mostly during fest and exams. 

Freshers at LHMC Delhi are allotted 3 seater rooms. These are pretty average, and not spacious enough. Hostel maids don’t clean well, unless you pay them extra. So maintaining and cleaning your room will be your own responsibility. 

The hostel has common washrooms. No outsiders are allowed. Water and electricity are available 24*7. There’s no curfew timing, but you will have to sign in and out on a register near the hostel gate. 

The hostel library is in poor condition, but you can access the college library. It is quite good, and its reading room remains open for 24 hours. The mess food is bad. ACs and coolers aren’t allowed, but every room has them regardless. The campus has a paid laundry service. There aren’t any washing machines in the hostel. LHMC hostels aren’t great, facility-wise.

During hostel allotment, people from outside Delhi are prioritized. Your permanent address records will decide how quickly you get to the hostel. The farther your residence is from Delhi, the earlier you’ll get a seat. 

Even though the LHMC hostel isn’t top-notch, you’ll make endless memories over here. 

Selecting the right order of preferences is very crucial during counseling, otherwise, you will end up losing an opportunity to study at a good college. I won’t be specifying any order of preference rather will guide you to the same. 

• Affiliation: VMMC is affiliated with IP, LHMC is affiliated with DU and AIIMS is a central government institute.
• PG Reservation: VMMC has an internal PG reservation, LHMC has a PG reservation within DU-affiliated medical while AIIMS has no PG reservation at all.
• Infrastructure: The infrastructure of all the colleges is at the same level except LHMC because of being extremely old.
• Academics:  Academically, all the aforementioned institutes are similar and there are no major differences. 
• College life: Located in Delhi, VMMC and LHMC offer slightly better city life than other institutes. No doubt Jodhpur and Bhopal are also big cities but cannot be compared to the urban life of Delhi. Delhi has many places to explore and great eateries also.

Based on the above points, make your own order of preference. Determine your priorities and then rank the colleges as per your needs.
