People opt for AIIMS Bhopal over medical colleges like MAMC, KGMC, UCMS, and VMMC because of their personal preferences and have no grudge against these colleges. The two main reasons why someone would choose AIIMS are because of the AIIMS tag and their readiness to work hard for PG entrance exams.
Academically, all the aforementioned colleges are at the same level even in terms of infrastructure, facilities, and opportunities. Honestly, an MBBS from most medical colleges is similar with little changes. Most colleges provide a similar experience and it’s in PG that the college actually matters. Someone has rightly said that many average colleges produce great doctors while some great colleges produce average doctors. So yes, the institute matters but not to the extent that your career is hampered in any way.
Always remember Mediocre colleges can produce excellent doctors and excellent colleges can produce mediocre doctors. It’s the decision you make and the skills you acquire that make you a successful doctor and not the institute.
As an alumnus of UCMS, I will shed some light on my college.
UCMS is one of the top 10 medical colleges in India. It falls under Delhi University. The academics are good, and the college fee is affordable. The campus is good too. Various college events are organized on a regular basis.
The seniors and faculty are very helpful. It is one of the major hospitals of East Delhi, so it has a lot of OPDs. The metro station is close by, so good connectivity is offered to other parts like Chandni Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, etc.
PGIMS Rohtak is the best medical college in Haryana. It has a very big campus and a lot of OPDs.
UCMS is a better choice. But if you wish to complete your degree from Haryana, you can choose PGIMS Rohtak.
