Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two colleges-
Based on these parameters, I would recommend you join VMMC for your MBBS. But even UCMS is a good college.
As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.
According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.
There are other advantages of choosing VMMC over the other two colleges, besides its internal PG quota.
First of all, Safdarjung hospital gets really good funding. In the last six years, it has built two new buildings (one Emergency and one Superspeciality). VMMC offers a decent college environment, just like other colleges. The internal PG quota is definitely a big advantage. To get internal medicine at MAMC, you’ll need around AIR 350. On the other hand, at VMMC, you’ll get it with AIR 9000.
This advantage might be diluted as more colleges get added to IPU. Regardless, you’ll be offered a great hospital, and a good college. Between MAMC and UCMS, the former has a locational advantage.
So, here is why you should choose VMMC over MAMC and UCMS.
Among the three option mentioned, PGIMER and RML hospital is the best option for doing an MD in General Medicine. It offers great exposure and academics. The spectrum of cases, facilities available, quality of care offered is exceptional. Other than Oncology, you will have exposure to all subspecialties.
UCMS is almost in the same range. However, it has a locational disadvantage. Other than that the spectrum of cases and academics offered at the institute is quite good.
VMMC is also a decent option. But it has a high patient load. Academics are really poor and you will have to go out of your way to learn things.
The best way to determine the ‘better’ college is to go through the highlights of both LHMC and UCMS
LHMC:
UCMS:
Both colleges are similar in terms of academics, degrees awarded, and functional societies so choose the one that aligns with your preferences.
Medical students from all these colleges are quite decent. They are normal people studying at reputed institutions. I have good friends in MAMC and LHMC.
It is in fact society that puts an extra burden on these people. They are expected to be social all the time. But this expectation is very unrealistic.
It is not right to put labels on these individuals. Their busy schedule should not be confused with egoistic behavior.
MAMC M.B.B.S. The Fee is INR 4,445/Yr. It offers various programs at low fees compared to other medical colleges. The hostel fee is around INR 500/- per month and the mess charges are around INR 2000–2500 per month.
If you belong to a financially weak background, then you can teach alongside your M.B.B.S. as the pay for tuition in Delhi is very good.
Without any second thoughts, go for UCMS. The academic ambiance is almost the same at both the colleges and both of them are highly reputed. Here are a few additional benefits of choosing UCMS over KGMU
Overall, both colleges have their strengths and weaknesses so choose wisely!
The best college for you depends on your priorities and goals. First, you need to figure out what exactly you are expecting from your degree and college. My sister had similar options as yours and she was looking for a safe location and easy commute, offering decent social life and good societies. She analyzed the pros and cons of each of these colleges and even contacted the seniors of these colleges. Here is what she derived regarding each college
The academics are almost similar in these 3 colleges, so consider other pros and cons and make a wise choice.
The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload.
Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.
So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.
