People opt for AIIMS Bhopal over medical colleges like MAMC, KGMC, UCMS, and VMMC because of their personal preferences and have no grudge against these colleges. The two main reasons why someone would choose AIIMS are because of the AIIMS tag and their readiness to work hard for PG entrance exams.
Academically, all the aforementioned colleges are at the same level even in terms of infrastructure, facilities, and opportunities. Honestly, an MBBS from most medical colleges is similar with little changes. Most colleges provide a similar experience and it’s in PG that the college actually matters. Someone has rightly said that many average colleges produce great doctors while some great colleges produce average doctors. So yes, the institute matters but not to the extent that your career is hampered in any way.
Always remember Mediocre colleges can produce excellent doctors and excellent colleges can produce mediocre doctors. It’s the decision you make and the skills you acquire that make you a successful doctor and not the institute.
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.
Based on the above points, make your own order of preference. Determine your priorities and then rank the colleges as per your needs.
VMMC attracts a major crowd of NEET toppers. It is the most chosen college after MAMC. There are several reasons why many people choose VMMC over KGMU.
Mandatory rural service is the biggest disadvantage of KGMU. Those planning for a PG/superspeciality especially find this service period unnecessary and time-consuming. Moreover, VMMC is located in Delhi. This makes it more favorable. Though I personally feel Lucknow offers almost every facility. Internal PG reservation also works in the favor of VMMC.
KGMU is ranked much higher than VMMC. The education at KGMU is much better too. Despite this, VMMC is preferred because of the above reasons.
Here are a few parameters to compare GMC Mumbai and VMMC-
Both GMC Mumbai and VMMC are good institutions. However, VMMC is a better choice according to me.
VMMC Delhi is better than AIIMS Jodhpur. It offers better research opportunities and networking opportunities. It also ranks higher than AIIMS Jodhpur. NIRF 2021 ranked VMMC 18 for Medical. It also has a 50% internal PG reservation.
Located in the nation's capital, VMMC offers better networking opportunities. Compared to Jodhpur, Delhi will offer a better college experience.
In my opinion, the aforementioned institutes can be ranked in the following manner
MAMC>VMMC>PGIMS
Here are some strong reasons for this order
So choose wisely after weighing the pros and cons of both colleges.
Among the three option mentioned, PGIMER and RML hospital is the best option for doing an MD in General Medicine. It offers great exposure and academics. The spectrum of cases, facilities available, quality of care offered is exceptional. Other than Oncology, you will have exposure to all subspecialties.
UCMS is almost in the same range. However, it has a locational disadvantage. Other than that the spectrum of cases and academics offered at the institute is quite good.
VMMC is also a decent option. But it has a high patient load. Academics are really poor and you will have to go out of your way to learn things.
