Both VMMC and AIIMS Bhopal are well-respected institutions in India and both have strong programs in medicine. In terms of faculty, both institutions have highly qualified and experienced faculty members. However,
These points clearly hold AIIMS Bhopal higher than VMMC, but I would still suggest you go for VMMC. AIIMS Bhopal may be better in terms of hostel, faculty, and infrastructure advantages but the most important factor for choosing a college is its location. Delhi offers better opportunities in terms of salary as well as other prospects. Delhi hospitals like Safdarjung Hospital have the highest pay scale for PG residents. Being in Delhi, you can work hard and get into a better hospital or college by Delhi quota for PG.
Ultimately I feel location should be given the highest priority while choosing a college and that being said, VMMC is the best option for you. However, the best choice for you will depend on your personal preferences and goals.
I had the opportunity to visit AIIMS Bhopal as I was meeting a friend who called me to the library to discuss something. AIIMS Bhopal, well known for its beautiful infrastructure has a central library which has about 3 floors.
However, I found that the library lacked enough variety of books and should be stacked with better books. Overall, AIIMS Bhopal Library is a beautiful and peaceful place to study.
AIIMS Bhopal students are allotted a single-seater room from the second year i.e. the 3rd semester. In the first year, AIIMS Bhubaneshwar MBBS students are assigned rooms based on their gender.
Boys are assigned double-seater rooms with an attached washroom, whereas girls are assigned single-seater rooms from the first day.
Attaching a few pics for your reference

It’s not difficult to choose one between the two as I would always give preference to MAMC over AIIMS Bhopal.
Considering the above points, MAMC is the best choice for you. The faculties are highly qualified and it also delivers good quality education.
So we can say one-day AIIMS might become a prime institute but right now it doesn't look to be in a very good condition
AIIMS Bhopal is a pretty decent institution.
The faculties of all departments are very dedicated, and the academics are the best among new AIIMS. The campus environment is studious. The college students perform quite well in exams like USMLE, and the college displays good results in various competitions. The hostel facility is quite good. The mess facilities are pretty decent, and single seater rooms are provided for students. Also, the hostel rooms have high speed LAN connections.
Thus, AIIMS Bhopal is doing decently well at present.
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.

The academic schedule of an MBBS student of AIIMS Bhopal is like any other medical college. In fact, AIIMS Bhopal is slightly less rigid when it comes to academics as compared to other AIIMS.
A typical day at AIIMS Bhopal is scheduled in this manner
Overall, AIIMS Bhopal has a balanced campus life and isn’t very hectic.
