AIIMS Delhi, Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, and Jodhpur are considered the top 4 AIIMS. All these 2012-established AIIMS are somewhat similar in terms of infrastructure and academics. The lab facilities are more or less accustomed. These institutes have minor differences like sports and recreational activities which in reality don’t matter considering the fact that you are a medical student and everything apart from studies is secondary.
I would like to conclude by saying that the most important factor to consider while choosing an AIIMS should be the distance from your home or hometown.
