AIIMS Rishikesh : A hidden gem

AIIMS Rishikesh, being a prestigious institution, generally offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers foundational principles as well as specialized areas within the medical field. This includes theoretical knowledge, practical training, and clinical exposure. Even in 1st year we are exposed to clinical connections in what we are studying which makes it easy to integrate forwards but also increases the load a little bit There are exams happening monthly with 2 end Sem exams, apart from the mains, aswell as vivas weekly, which makes u keep up with the syllabus

We have a 1-and-a-half-year internship in the college itself apart from 1 month of rural posting. YOU can even take extensions if you need to do an elective or prepare for PG exams. It compensates you well, roughly 23k a month if you are lucky

For UGs, the fee is typically structured per annum and may include tuition fees, registration fees, examination fees, hostel charges, etc. The complete cost is roughly 12,000 rs including above except examination fees and mess fees. I am not that aware about the financial assistance available but u can get information on the website of college

The campus life is the best, it's beautiful, scenic and there are certain spots if u come here that give the best view of the hills. They provide gyms in campus aswell with affordable prices along with it basketball court, badminton courts, tennis and volleyball courts aswell. The college fest is called pyrexia and is just perfect, along with it various clubs having every hobby u want

The 1st year hostel rooms aren't great like told before, you have common bathrooms which are cleaned everyday luckily. The registration process is pretty quick so is the roommate assigning. The meal quality is better than other colleges for sure, even providing extra stuff

The admission process was lengthy mainly because of the medical Examination, which takes some time but it helps u explore the college aswell. I go it through the NEET exam which in general category cut off roughly 1000 rank wise.

Faculty to student ratio is 1:20 roughly in all departments till 3rd year which is pretty good as it helps talk to one or the other teachers easily, even to the HODs without prior permission. The faculties portfolio is also impressive, most of them graduating from top institues aswell as have alot of research papers published
