Question Answer

Ques. Which one should I opt for AIIMS Delhi Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) or KGMU M.B.B.S.

● Top Answer By IronIrisIllusion on 13 Apr 26

Ans. AIIMS Delhi clearly stands out when it comes to internships and career outcomes. The medical internship begins in the 5th year, offering students hands-on experience with seasoned doctors and access to state-of-the-art equipment, plus a lucrative stipend of around Rs.30,000, which is among the highest in the country. KGMU , while reputable, doesn’t quite match the extensive clinical exposure and resources available at AIIMS. The curriculum at AIIMS also emphasizes a high level of clinical training from early on, making graduates more competitive in the job market. If you're aiming for an exceptional medical career with robust internship opportunities, AIIMS Delhi is the better choice; however, if you prefer a more relaxed environment and a solid education, KGMU can still be a good fit.Read more

Ques. Is choosing AIIMS Delhi MBBS over KGMU MBBS a good decision? Is MBBS in AIIMS Delhi worth the fees

● Top Answer By SyntheticSunsetSoul on 06 Apr 26

Ans. AIIMS Delhi clearly stands out when you compare it to KGMU for MBBS. The fees at AIIMS are ridiculously low at around Rs.5,856 for five years, while KGMU's fees can be significantly higher, impacting the overall financial burden. With AIIMS, you also get a top-notch curriculum, extensive clinical exposure from the 5th year, and a generous stipend of Rs.30,000 during your internship, giving you excellent ROI. Plus, the campus life and faculty credentials at AIIMS are hard to beat. If you can get into AIIMS Delhi, it's definitely a smarter financial choice, especially if you're serious about a career in medicine. KGMU might be a decent option if you live nearby and prefer a different environment, but for the best value for money, AIIMS is the clear winner.Read more

Ques. I have an option to choose from GMC/GSMC, Mumbai and KGMU lucknow for MBBS. Which college should I opt for?

● Top Answer By Akriti Gupta on 30 Sept 23

Ans. I will try to answer this query as per my limited knowledge. As for GMC, its teaching standards have declined. The classes aren’t as rich as in previous times. Even the study culture isn’t as good now. Only the brand name remains. Because of this, GSMC is currently much better ranked than GMC. So if you are from Lucknow, choose KGMU over GMC Mumbai. MBBS is quite stressful, and homely support does a lot for mental health. Both GSMC and KGMU are good medical colleges. Choosing between these is a bit difficult. Research on the condition of PG reservation at Maharashtra colleges, and Provincial Health Services (PHS) rule in UP. This will help you make a better decision. Both GSMC Mumbai and KGMU are excellent choices.Choose between the two based on various factors that I have listed above. Read more

Ques. Which is better to join for an MBBS, GMC Patiala, GMC Mumbai, Seth GS Medical College, KGMU, or GMCH Chandigarh?

● Top Answer By Advaith Bhaskar on 30 Sept 23

Ans. Based on the opinions within the medical community, I will provide some information on these colleges- GSMC- It is a highly renowned college. High rankers in UG and PG entrance choose it for pursuing their medical studies. Clinical teaching is very good over here. Grant Medical College Mumbai- It is one of the top 10 medical colleges of India. But its fees have skyrocketed recently. The campus is not in a good shape too. However, this college is one of the only 5 colleges whose degrees are approved in Singapore. So if you plan to pursue your PG abroad, a degree from GMC Mumbai will open the doors of Singapore for you. KGMU- It is one of the best medical colleges in North India, and especially UP. It is well reputed, and the campus is really good. The infrastructure is top notch, better than most government colleges. The teachers are decent, and the students are hardworking. You’ll get a good clinical exposure over here. For an outsider though, adjusting to the UP culture might be a little difficult at first. I don’t know much about GMC Patiala and GMCH Chandigarh, so I won’t comment on these two. Make sure to choose a college with hardworking students. Good company will motivate you to study harder and excel in your field. Food and language barriers aren’t much of a problem in the long run. Read more

Ques. Which college should I join for an MBBS, KGMU or AMU (I can pay for the 2-year bond at KGMU)?

● Top Answer By Sagar Dikshit on 26 Sept 23

Ans. The best way to determine the right college for M.B.B.S. is to analyze the pros and cons of these colleges individually KGMU Pros Ikr of the highly ranked medical college ranked 45 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023 by NIRF. It’s located in a more developed and bigger city and has a huge beautiful campus. Offers excellent clinical exposure It has a 50% state PG quota It receives huge funds from the state government. KGMU Cons It’s a State medical college It’s pay scale is quite less in comparison to Central colleges It has less number of pg seats The college has caste-based reservations. Students are required to serve the rural service bond JNMC AMU Pros It’s a central government institute so has better pay grades as compared to state colleges There is a 50% internal reservation, with no caste boundaries Internal are also eligible for external seats so if you get a good rank you can easily get a seat in the open category. It has a better UG-PG seat ratio You don’t have to serve any kind of service bond Better academic ambiance and clinical exposure. A completely ragging-free campus JNMC AMU Cons There is no state quota in the PG Does not have a very good reputation so receives less funding. Aligarh is not a big city as compared to Lucknow. Considering the above points, choose wisely!Read more
