Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) is definitely better than every other AIIMS. Though there are chances for AIIMS to grow in the next 3-5 years. But opting AIIMS over MAMC is really not recommended.

• MAMC has a huge patient load. But you need to remember that a huge influx of patients does not mean a huge amount of knowledge but it means more commotion.
• AIIMS are made to be tertiary care centers and to receive rare and quality cases. Hence the patient inflow is low.
• MAMC has PG reservations, which are yet to start at AIIMS.
• MAMC also gets the locational advantage, being in the heart of the city.
• The batch size here is huge, about 250, which sometimes becomes problematic.
• They have a better and more experienced faculty than AIIMS.
• Due to the pandemic clinical classes are held in the seminar rooms with just 10 students and a faculty. This lets the students interact with the teacher properly.
• A small group of students is also easier to manage by a teacher.
• Also the best thing about MAMC is its fees. It is much less than that of AIIMS.
• An MBBS course is around INR 11,000 at MAMC.

MAMC being a more older and experienced institution has provided its students with some of the best opportunities. But that does not mean that AIIMS is lagging behind. As it is also growing and providing students with the appropriate amount of exposure.

All of these AIIMS are on equal levels with one another. Infrastructure, faculty, and facilities are remarkably similar, so don't undercut any of them. So, excluding these, make your decision based on personal factors.

Remember that it is a common misconception that Raipur is unsafe and least developed. AIIMS Raipur is a wonderful institute that none of you regret attending. They have also achieved some outstanding results in PG. So give it some thought and join any of the institutes you want.
