My sister left AFMC for AIIMS Bhubaneswar not because the institute was better but because she had several personal reasons that led her to the decision. In fact, AFMC l has a better campus and better facilities than AIIMS Bhubaneswar, however, it also has a commitment to serve the armed forces. This may hinder your growth to an extent.
Our family was completely against her going to Pune for studies and most importantly working in the forces for a lifetime. She appeared for the interview and the beauty of the campus encompassed her, after which she enrolled herself. However, the 7 days window period which allows you to exit within 7 days taught here a lot. She realized that she won’t be able to cope up with the hectic life among students who were mostly from army backgrounds. The overall environment was very rigid with millions of rules and regulations. Our father decided to get her out do AFMC and enrolled her in AIIMS Bhubaneswar which was much rarer than our home.
Now, as a student of AIIMS Bhubaneswar, she is truly satisfied with her quality of college life though she sometimes looks back at the missed opportunity to serve the country. But seeing her family more satisfied with Bhubaneswar she knew she had taken the right decision.
