Life at AIIMS Delhi cannot be compared to other AIIMS as it is the mother AIIMS and will always be a notch better than others. Also, its location plays a major advantage in giving you the best college-life experience.
After AIIMS, what was fulfilled by expectations of a dynamic college life was AIIMS Jodhpur. It certainly is heaven for food lovers and has many watering openings every now and then. For everyone, there is a set criteria for a good college life and for my sister, it was one that gave her freedom and academics on the same plate. AIIMS Jodhpur ended up as the best choice fulfilling both criteria.
AIIMS Jodhpur offers a splendid college life second only to AIIMS Delhi.
My sister got selected for all the 3 aforementioned institutes and was confused for a long time before making her final decision. She weighed the pros and cons of all the 3 institutes; IMS BHU, AIIMS Bhopal, and AIIMS Jodhpur, and realized that IMS BHU has the benefit of internal PG reservation but was very lacking in terms of hostel facilities. That was a factor she wasn't willing to overlook so she looked upon AIIMS Bhopal and got to know about its fast-paced development and excellent hostel facilities.
Here is a glimpse of the medical college
This is the AIIMS Bhopal hostel that provides well-furnished single rooms to its students.
AIIMS Bhopal seemed to be the most promising option for her and she was excited to experience the freedom there and ended up choosing it. As for you, you can consider your proximity to home as a crucial determining factor. If you hail from UP, IMS BHU can be a suitable choice for you else AIIMS Bhopal and Jodhpur are excellent options.
AIIMS Bhopal is a prestigious medical institution set up under the Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY). Carrying forward the AIIMS legacy, AIIMS Bhopal aims at improving the standards of the medical field in India. Being funded by the central government, it certainly gives an edge to many State Govt Medical Colleges. Here are a few parameters to consider
Getting a seat in AIIMS is a miracle. MGM is also a good medical college. It is one of the oldest medical schools in Asia and was converted into the present medical college in 1948.
AIIMS Jodhpur is very popular for its hostels and its hostels are one of the major features which set it apart from other government medical colleges in India. AIIMS Jodhpur has well-built and maintained hostels with all major modern facilities and amenities.
AIIMS Bhopal hostels are also well-maintained and have good infrastructure. The hostel rooms at AIIMS Bhopal have good furniture, with around 3/4th of a wall fitted with wooden furniture. The rooms are equipped with all the amenities such as a bookshelf, table, chair, bed, mattress, drawer, and table. There are no attached washrooms but the common washrooms are also very clean and hygienic.
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.
All the institutes are good at providing the best academics to the students. AIIMS Bhopal was established in 2012 in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, and is renowned for its infrastructure and campus. You will be given excellent placement support and an extra add-on to the AIIMS tag. The hostel facilities are pretty good, as they respect the privacy of students and offer a single room for everyone. The work culture, faculty support, college environment, and rich alumni network are commendable. They play a major role in increasing the potential of every student through their effective academic structure. So AIIMS Bhopal is the better option than BHU and KGMC.
Despite being a new AIIMS, Bhopal has witnessed s steady growth in the USMLE environment with several students clearing MLE every year and bagging residency spots.
Roughly, 5-15% of the AIIMS Bhopal batch prepares for USMLE and the ratio is similar to other top colleges. However, the past few years have witnessed a decline in the number of students preparing for USMLE due to other popular exams like PLAB, AMC, and Germany as well.
So it can be said that AIIMS Bhopal has an environment that directly helps you prepare for these exams and the seniors are encouraging enough. It’s highly advisable to get your clinical electives sorted out in your MBBS years only because as an intern you will not get any leave for this.
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.
The hostel facilities at AIIMS are quite good. The rooms are complete with an outward-facing personal balcony. They provide all required furniture, i.e. a wooden cot with a big sliding drawer underneath, a study table, a three-drawer mini self, and a low side table. There are shelves for your books and an elaborate cupboard for all your belongings too.
I have a few pieces of information on life at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. My friend is a second-year M.B.B.S. student there and shared her experience of her first year.
Life at AIIMS Bhubaneswar is always chirpy and dynamic and you won’t ever feel out of place or bored. There is a great balance between academics and extracurriculars to give you the perfect college-life experience.
