Questions Asked On LHMC, New Delhi
How is life in LHMC?
LHMC is an amazing place to spend the best days of your life. She met some exceptionally talented students and made awesome friends in a short period of time. She absolutely loved how the seniors were so cooperative and introduced them to societies bringing all like-minded people together. The teachers at LHMC are not addressed as Sir or Maam, rather they are called Di.
The city life here is even better and you can always sneak out to have delicious food at Connaught Place or go for a late-night walk around CP. There are concerts around the year and many festivals and club events make the overall campus life dynamic.
So, life at LHMC is very vibrant and exciting!
What are the benefits of doing an MBBS from LHMC?
My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC. Also, the all-girls setting was somewhat new and difficult to adjust to after studying in co-ed all her life. However, soon everything started to become normal. She still vividly remembers how well her first dissection went. She made friends and their best hanging spot became the Statue of Lady Hardinge. All kinds of snacks from tea to noodles were available here.
The seniors were surprisingly more friendly than expected and introduced juniors to various societies and extended parent-like support. Ragging did not exist even in the smallest form making the campus very safe. She witnessed her seniors organizing functions efficiently making her realize the all-girls environment gave more opportunities to girls here than a co-ed college would ever give.
It was a month later that she realized that LHMC had never been her dream college or even her batchmates but the college warmly accepted everyone and would help her achieve her dream.
Which is currently better - LHMC or UCMS?
The best way to determine the ‘better’ college is to go through the highlights of both LHMC and UCMS
LHMC:

- No gender stereotypes because it’s an all-girls college.
- It’s Fest, Splash is better than UCMS Fest Ripple.
UCMS:
- The curriculum is less rigorous so that students can dwell deeper into the subjects. Students are given a lot of holidays frequently.
- UCMS has active and functional societies as well. Its most famous drama society, Manchayan, has participated in various colleges.
- They have a bigger campus area which has a decent metro connection.
- It’s a Coed college so the exposure and crowd diversity is better.

How was your first month at LHMC as an MBBS student?
My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC.

Which college is better, LHMC or RML?
I don’t know much about RML/ABVIMS, but I can highlight a few points about LHMC-
- Clinical Exposure- RML offers more clinical exposure for medicine and surgery. This is why half of LHMC postings are conducted at RML. However, LHMC is one of the best in India for Gynae and Paeds. Moreover, LHMC has opened a new academic block, a new OPD block, and new super specialty blocks in recent years. This will increase clinical exposure at LHMC.
- Infrastructure and location- LHMC campus is small yet beautiful. It is located in CP, and well connected to the rest of Delhi NCR via metro.
- DU quota- As an LHMC student, you’ll get a DU quota for PG studies in MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS. IPU has a huge number of PG seats, but the competition is quite high.
Both RML and LHMC are top medical colleges in Delhi. As a student of LHMC, I can assure you that our college provides ample growth opportunities.
I joined LHMC this year instead of any peripheral AIIMS I could have got. Now everyone is saying they will be better in a few years and I'm freaking out now?
No, you certainly made the right choice by choosing LGMC over any other peripheral AIIMS. I have seen many medical aspirants run after the AIIMS tag and choose a peripheral AIIMS only to regret it later. Only the ones that have been established for about 5–6 years are worth taking admission in.
In my opinion, it’s better to go for a medical college that has a legacy of more than 10 years as it will be better academically, environmentally, and even in terms of the campus life it offers. Choosing LHMC will expose you to better opportunities especially because of its prime location in CP. Moreover, it also has Delhi Quota for MD. The clinical exposure is also unmatched and the internship opportunities will be plentiful.
So, put your worries to rest as you have made a wise decision by choosing LHMC over a peripheral AIIMS.
What are the major differences between LHMC and MAMC?
Both LHMC and MAMC have a similar quality crowd and even the location is similar. In fact, LHMC is just 2 km away from MAMC. MAMC however, is nearer to the metro station.
LHMC takes postings seriously. The girls are given a lot of freedom so LHMC not being a co-ed hardly affects the quality of their campus life in any way. In fact, it makes it better because of the unimaginable freedom.
Both the colleges have a decent academic ambiance. LHMC is well-known for its OB-GYN and Pediatrics departments. Girls get a lot of hands-on experience and are trained excellently under the guidance of experienced faculty.
A true and literal comparison between these colleges can only be made after personally visiting colleges.
What should I choose between LHMC, UCMS, and RML?
The best college for you depends on your priorities and goals. First, you need to figure out what exactly you are expecting from your degree and college. My sister had similar options as yours and she was looking for a safe location and easy commute, offering decent social life and good societies. She analyzed the pros and cons of each of these colleges and even contacted the seniors of these colleges. Here is what she derived regarding each college
- LHMC: The institute is famous for its prime location, brand name, and its safe all-girls environment. Its infrastructure has been renovated recently and its DU tag is very helpful. However, the patient load is less compared to other teaching hospitals in Delhi and if you live close by, you won't be given a hostel room either.
- UCMS: Being a co-ed college, it offers better exposure, hostel facilities, infrastructure, and an amazing patient load. This college too is under the DU and has some amazing societies and fests. However, its primary drawback is its location which is often considered unsafe, especially for girls.
- RML: Thistoo is co-ed and has a good location. It is considered to be the best medical college in Delhi after AIIMS and VMMC. Its IPU quota and newly established infrastructure are what sets it apart from the other two colleges. However, being new, it may be lacking in terms of reputation, alumni, and quality of fests.
The academics are almost similar in these 3 colleges, so consider other pros and cons and make a wise choice.
