VMMC offers 170 seats for the MBBS program whereas MAMC offers a total of 250 seats. While both VMMC and MAMC are very renowned colleges, the first year at VMMC is still quite stress-free whereas MAMC adheres to a strict curriculum.
VMMC offers a top-notch infrastructure with modern equipment and supportive staff. It has one of the largest government hospital complexes in India along with Asia’s largest OPD. On the other hand, MAMC also offers decent infrastructure and facilities on campus for students’ overall well-being.
The primary reason for aspirants to choose VMMC is the Internal PG reservation. Since VMMC is affiliated with IP University, UG students (MBBS) are eligible for an internal PG Quota and can secure MD/MS seats at VMMC.
It is advisable to choose VMMC to avail the benefits of reservation for PG courses. Although, MAMC doesn’t provide any reservations for PG courses. Students graduating from MAMC are equipped with a strong academic foundation and can be highly competitive.
I will give you some details about the boys’ and girls’ hostels at VMMC.
There are two boys’ hostels and one girls’ hostel at VMMC. The two boys’ hostels are- Old Boys’ Hostel and New Boys’ Hostel. The hostels offer AC facilities, and you can decorate your rooms as per your wish.
There is no curfew system in the hostels. A water cooler and purifier are available for each floor, and you’ll get an uninterrupted power supply. Local students have to wait for months before getting a hostel room.
Let me tell you about these hostels in detail-
Old Boys’ hostel and Girls’ Hostel:
New Boys’ Hostel-
The VMMC hostels are quite good, and the campus is filled with greenery. You will enjoy your hostel life at this college.
Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two colleges-
Based on these parameters, I would recommend you join VMMC for your MBBS. But even UCMS is a good college.
As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.
According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.
There are other advantages of choosing VMMC over the other two colleges, besides its internal PG quota.
First of all, Safdarjung hospital gets really good funding. In the last six years, it has built two new buildings (one Emergency and one Superspeciality). VMMC offers a decent college environment, just like other colleges. The internal PG quota is definitely a big advantage. To get internal medicine at MAMC, you’ll need around AIR 350. On the other hand, at VMMC, you’ll get it with AIR 9000.
This advantage might be diluted as more colleges get added to IPU. Regardless, you’ll be offered a great hospital, and a good college. Between MAMC and UCMS, the former has a locational advantage.
So, here is why you should choose VMMC over MAMC and UCMS.
Usually MAMC is the first choice of aspirants. But, a good number of students choose VMMC over MAMC despite getting really high ranks, and having a Delhi state quota. The reasons for this decision are-
Thus, I would recommend you choose VMMC for your MBBS degree.
VMMC offers two kinds of MBBS seats- Subsidized and Non Subsidized.
The annual fee for subsidized seats is around Rs. 37,000. On the other hand, for non-subsidized seats, it is around 1.25 Lakhs. The internship stipend is around Rs 26,300 per month.
VMMC is a prestigious medical institution, and the best place to fulfill your dreams. It is growing at a rapid rate.
The life of a medical student at VMMC is very hectic and full of chaos.
Overall, the college environment is peaceful with occasional fun activities.
No, VMMC MBBS students do not have secured seats for PG in VMMC. Here is how the internal quota of the university works
Once the students complete their UG course from their college, they're eligible for the internal quota of PG seats of their University and not the specific college. This means that the internal quota is for the university and not the college. In your case, the internal PG quota belongs to IPU and not VMMC. So, Students of all the colleges under IPU are eligible for IPU PG seats.
Earlier there was only VMMC (UG) under it, Mao PG seats were easily available in VMMC and RML, so the seats were kind of secured. But with more and more colleges under IPU, the PG quota of IPU too has lost much of its value.
So, the VMMC MBBS students don't have secured PG seats.
Yes, you can definitely enter VMMC for a tour.
It is a government owned institution, so you can visit the campus and have a look at its facilities. You can also catch a glimpse of AIIMS across the road from the Terrace Garden. But some areas like the library may be restricted for outsiders. You’ll require permission to enter classrooms and dissection halls.
You’ll love the green and beautiful campus of VMMC. It is especially mesmerizing in the evenings.
