Apart from these, all the campuses offer modern facilities and advanced digital features with good faculty members.

Allahabad University is known for its Arts faculty. In the Arts faculty, there are 15 different departments. The main campus alone takes about 2000 students each year.

The cutoff varies each year depending on different factors. However, the competition is not that tough. If you have done about 60 questions out of 150 correctly then you can easily get selected. In 2021, the required cutoff for all categories in the first round was 186. However, to get hostel accommodation will have to secure around 220 marks.

AIIMS Patna and Medical College Kolkata (MCK) both seem to have their own perks in the different areas of anyone’s interest. Here are some facts that you need to know before making any decision.

AIIMS Patna

• Many believe that AIIMS Patna is a very new college but you can not avoid the fact that it is an AIIMS. 
• Due to the same reason, it is very well recognized abroad so go for it if studying abroad is your goal ultimately. 
• Also, it is well funded therefore the infrastructure and campus are of a top-notch level. 
• The teaching faculty as well is on a better level than MCK. 
• They have got all the co-curricular activities covered too. 

Medical College Kolkata (MCK)

• MCK is not a centrally aided institute so the infrastructure lacks a bit more than that of AIIMS Patna. 
• But the environment is a very healthy one without any political interference in the college procedures. 
• The greatest perk is that it is a 180-year-old college which results in a huge alumni network. 
• Also, if you are a student from Kolkata then you fall in the state reservation quota of 50%, unlike AIIMS. 

Both the colleges are good at their own places, choose the one that suits your requirements. This will be a major step up for your career.

One of my friends has shared his experiences. He traveled by train to Allahabad from Delhi, and after reaching there, his first experience was so disappointing. He thought about how he would survive here in the next 4 years of his study. 

• First, he went to the hotel, and then he went to complete the registration process of his admission.
• When he went to the college for the registration process, a positive feeling had haunted his mind after seeing the main building of this institute.
• Registration is a big process, and he had to run from one office to another at that temperature, which made the fading of good feeling. He took lunch in the college canteen, and he said that the food was very good and cheap.
• After completing the entire process, he visited the hostel. The hostel for the first-year student is really good. But he was not permitted to stay in the hostel as the registration process of the entire student was not yet completed.

So, my friend hated the place at the beginning, but after living in this place for 4 years, everyone will love this place. Besides, the student will also get a bag of memories in their 4 years of study.
