AIIMS Raipur is already a leading figure in the field of medical education. This is a result of its top-notch infrastructure and elaborate teaching methods. It satisfies modern-day demands and your life will completely change if you opt for this college to pursue an MBBS. I have enumerated some points to convince you of the same:
You will be spending your first year at the Kabir Nagar Campus. This campus has lush green surroundings with a very clean environment. You will love your time here.
The hostel facilities are remarkable. Boys get a 2BHK flat with 3 boys in a flat whereas girls get a 3 BHK flat with 5 girls in a flat.
The college building comprises 3 floors with all the facilities you need to become a good medical student.
The hygiene here is notable.
AIIMS offers excellent sports facilities like an indoor badminton court, volleyball (outdoor) basketball, 3–4 tables for table tennis, a football/cricket ground, and a mat for kabaddi.
The annual fest Oriana is the cherry on top. You will have a once-in-a-lifetime experience here.
So yes, your life will definitely change for the better if you opt for this college.
I am a former resident of Chhattisgarh and can comment on this question easily. Well, the biggest reason why students don’t prefer Raipur despite it having great facilities is that most people consider it unsafe for students. The whole of Chhattisgarh is believed to have been dominated by “Naxalites".
However, this is just a misconception as Naxalites are there only in Bastar, Dantewada district, and in the Manpur-Mohla-chowki-chhuriya regions of Rajnandgaon district. Additionally, Naxalites don’t attack common citizens and are only after politicians and policemen. Also, the government is taking measures to eradicate them completely.
Unlike the general opinion, Chhattisgarh is absolutely safe for students so you can consider it for your studies and rest assured.
I am a student at AIIMS Raipur, so I will try sharing some advantages of joining my institution.
I wouldn’t recommend AIIMS Rishikesh over Patna or Raipur. The only favorable thing in regard to AIIMS Rishikesh is that it is located in the lap of nature. But over the years, its hype has somewhat died down partially because of constant issues with the administration. Also, the other AIIMS have seen an increase in their PG seats. AIIMS Patna and Raipur have excelled in other areas, and made up for their lack in terms of location.
The main hospital building of AIIMS Raipur was recently completed, and all the major departments have been shifted in the same. The faculty at AIIMS Raipur is as good as any other AIIMS, and academic excellence is given utmost priority. The attendance system is a bit strict, but it is totally up to the AIIMS standards.
The Trauma and Emergency is top notch at AIIMS Rishikesh, but that is of less importance for an MBBS student. The patient load has increased at AIIMS Raipur over the years. The students of AIIMS Raipur can join various cultural, literary and sports clubs. This helps in overall development and extracurricular achievement.
Thus, I would recommend AIIMS Raipur as a good institution for an MBBS, but even AIIMS Patna is a good choice.
If you are confused between AIIMS Patna/Rishikesh/Raipur and Medical College Kolkata, you should study the pros of both colleges. Then you can make a decision on which pros to avail yourself of.
Pros of AIIMS
The infrastructure is modern and has present-time facilities
The fees are very affordable around INR 5800 for 5.5 years.
The fact that you are AIIMS alumni is in itself valuable.
The internship offered by AIIMS has a high stipend of around INR 23500.
Pros of Kolkata Medical College
The most significant feature of this college is the Internal State Reservation Of PG Seats.
It’s a very old college, established in 1835. As the saying goes Old is Gold. The faculty is more experienced here.
Being a metropolitan city, Kolkata has a lot to offer in terms of amenities.
The deciding factor should be your own convenience and abilities. The final decision is yours.
MBBS from any AIIMS is equally good and anyone who claims otherwise has false information or hasn’t been exposed to the facilities of these peripheral AIIMS.
As for the high-tech medical instruments, UG MBBS does not require such equipment and the course is conducted mostly through clinical exposure and not research work. For this, we need enough cadavers, well-furnished labs, OTS, and well-maintained lecture theaters.
Every AIIMS provides these top-notch facilities and has excellent infrastructure that promotes a healthy academic environment. The quality of the infrastructure is further proved by the pic below
What you see here is a modular OT and a high-tech faculty that is present only in institutes of national importance because of funding from the government.
AIIMS faculty recruitment is unique and thus it’s not easy to take in just anyone as a teacher here. Moreover, the faculty shortage does not affect the quality of education.
The results of all these AIIMS and the successful doctors they have produce are a testament to their worth and credibility that is almost the same as AIIMS Delhi.
No, it is a very big misconception that students at AIIMS Raipur are ragged. One of my friends studied there and he never faced any sort of disrespectful behaviour or acts.
Therefore, AIIMS Raipur is totally ragging free. They have strict laws that will be implemented if found guilty of ragging.
The first-year students of AIIMS Raipur are made to stay in AIIMS Residential Complex which is about 1 km away from the campus. There is a bus that will take you to and fro from the campus.
For boys-
A 2BHK flat with a bathroom, kitchen, and toilet
One room with 2 beds and hall with one bed
You are provided with a study table
The rooms are clean and spacious with a gallery attached to get some fresh air
A maximum of 3 boys share the flat.
For girls-
A 3BHK flat with bathroom, kitchen, and toilet
3 rooms for individual girls and a hall with two beds for 2 girls
A maximum of 5 girls are made to stay together
Security is good with female security guards always guarding the girls' hostel 24×7.
Mess facilities-
Mess facilities are available at Kabirnagar itself. Food is prepared on the main campus and delivered to the hostel at Kabirnagar.
Breakfast, snacks, and dinner are provided in Kabirnagar, and lunch is provided on campus.
The hostel facilities at AIIMS Raipur are pretty good. In the second year, you get an individual room on campus.
The hostels at AIIMS Raipur are good and very well maintained.
The first year students are provided a bus for transportation from AIIMS residential to the college. All students are provided single rooms from their second year onwards in the main AIIMS hostel.
Both AIIMS Patna and AIIMS Raipur are good and bad in their respects.
Here are a few points about AIIMS Patna-
INFRASTRUCTURE

On the other hand, even AIIMS Raipur is as good a choice. AIIMS Raipur is ranked at 49th position in the NIRF India Rankings 2022:Medical.
Choose according to your preferred location. Both institutes will offer you immense knowledge and expertise.
