Apart from these, the HOD of the respective departments/subjects will also suggest to you some reference books. You should not limit yourself to only these textbooks.
Freshers' party is the best party you will ever witness at AIIMS Delhi. It has a lot of fun, and the entire day and night are full of energy.
The program usually begins with everyone wearing formals and going in batches to watch videos of their time at AIIMS up to this point.
One of my friends is presently studying at the institute. For his Fresher’s party, the institute organized dinner which was very delicious. Following that, there was a couple of dance in which the couples were chosen at random using chits. Other activities include a ramp walk and talent round. You will be surprised to see the hidden talents of your classmates.
In the end, a normal award ceremony will be there to announce Ms. and Mr. Freshers.
If you are consistent, studying 4-6 hours daily can help you get into AIIMS Delhi. Studying 24*7 and sacrificing everything you like other than academics, isn’t necessary. You may have to procrastinate some activities like playing games or watching web series. But you can still keep 1-2 hours for doing things that you like, other than academics.
Try to stay consistent while preparing and enjoy other things too. This way studying won’t get boring.

The DM and M.sch are paid studentships rather than real courses for students. Their life is more like an employee's than a student's. Till the time you complete your degree, you will be completely under the umbrella of your consultant, and he can control you to a certain level. You are expected to report as soon as your consultant or HOD asks for you without any excuses.
Despite the huge patient inflow and diversity of cases, DM and MCH students don’t get to handle surgeries single-handedly and have to always work under the supervision of their consultants. However, instead of losing motivation, it’s best to make the most out of the institute's legacy and brand name. As a DM or MCH student, you will always be sleep-deprived, and skipping meals will become a new normal.
Ultimately the quality of life of a DM or MCH student depends on the particular individual and his circumstances.
Irrespective of the fact if you are a dropper or not, admission to AIIMS requires excellent time management skills and mastering the 4 Ds; Determination, Dedication, Discipline, and Desire. Your quality of study matters more than your quantity. Here are a few tips that will help you crack AIIMS Delhi.
Lastly, stay positive and motivated throughout!
Honestly speaking the type of doctor you become depends not on the institute you hail from but on the skill set you acquired and your own intellect. A patient does not care from which college they graduated but cares about your skills, your ability to make them believe in you, your delivery skills, and the satisfaction they get after consulting you. Your skills are more than enough to prove your talents as a doctor and your college has little to do with this the medical field is different from an MBA where the brand of the college determines your pay scale. Even average doctors manage to do well in this field owing to their ability to satisfy their patients and convince them.
So it's high time we look at the bigger picture and stop focussing on the medical college you will be completing your UG or PG from.
The question is quite subjective and depends on your performance whilemoroaring for the entrance exams and your expectations from it. In my opinion, joining the lowest ranked medical college is not a wise decision considering the efforts you have already invested and are willing to do so more. Had I been in your place, I would have taken a back without any second thoughts
However, if your goal was just to grab a seat and the brand value of the institute does not matter, then you can join even a low ranked college without much thought.
Lastly, here is a piece of advice for those taking a drop year. Don’t target only AIIMS and MAMS, rather keep your option wide. Trust me India has many other reputed medical colleges too. Limiting your options will actually limit your opportunities too!
Yes, students of JIPMER have a more dynamic and thrilling college life than students of AIIMS Delhi. JIPMER students are free to explore outside the campus and students can be seen having breakfast at the beach, spending weekends in some fancy beach resort, driving through White Town with its perfect French architecture, and going for star-gazing on a clear night. They have access to world cuisine from French to Italian to Asian in beautiful restaurants. All these activities speak of the sense of freedom experienced by JIPMER students.
However, this does not certainly mean that the college has no rules and regulations and students are left on their own. There are regulations on dress code and attendance to maintain decorum within the campus. Students follow these rules diligently. Recently they also banned students from bringing vehicles inside the campus, although relaxations were soon made.
All in all, JIPMER does provide more freedom to its students and lets them explore beyond academics without bringing down the discipline of the institute.
In AIIMS Bhopal, the hostel deadline for girls is 10 pm and for boys, there are no timings. Even for the girls, the library is open till 2 AM. There are no strict timings for both the girls and boys and they can stay out after 10 pm also. Many students do that.
From the third year, these timings and rules are even more relaxed. Until the third year, a student can have minor arguments with the warden or the guard but there will be no major issues or problems. For events also, there is no one to watch you. With the help of the student union, no one interferes in the college fests or events. They don’t keep a student under eye for 24*7 and students can be around in the hostel campus these times as late as 4 am also.
These rules are relaxed after the first year as earlier the deadline was off till 9 pm for girls. The rule of boys could not enter girls hostels and vice versa still pertains. The students can visit the PG and intern hostels at any time.
