During NEET UG Counselling, a lot of candidates prefer AIIMS Bhopal over AIIMS Jodhpur for MBBS if not able to get a seat at AIIMS Delhi. Both AIIMS Jodhpur and AIIMS Bhopal are equally good colleges and amongst the top-ranked ones in the country.
One major reason why students opt for AIIMS Bhopal over AIIMS Jodhpur is due to the location of AIIMS Bhopal and its larger connectivity than AIIMS Jodhpur. AIIMS Bhopal is located in Central India and the state it is located in, i.e. Madhya Pradesh. The hostels at AIIMS Bhopal are as good as AIIMS Jodhpur, however, has much more freedom. The city of Bhopal also gives one more reason for students to join AIIMS Bhopal.
AIIMS Jodhpur is a bit far from the main city and the connectivity also is not as good as AIIMS Bhopal. There is also less freedom for students as the campus and the hostel wardens are extremely strict as well.
Thus, the location and connectivity of AIIMS Bhopal is one big reason why rankers prefer AIIMS Bhopal over AIIMS Jodhpur.
AIIMS Bhopal hostels are decked with the latest amenities and single occupancy rooms are provided to all its students. However, the first-year students get double occupancy rooms to initiate socializing among the students. The infrastructure is world class and the best faculty is recruited by the college. Singly occupied room with balcony.
Here are a few facilities provided by AIIMS Bhopal that makes your stay there comfortable and memorable
All these facilities make AIIMS Bhopal a prestigious institute preferred by many medical aspirants.
My cousin from Kerala was in a similar dilemma and had to choose between Calicut and AIIMS Jodhpur. Eventually, she went for AIIMS Jodhpur and stated a few reasons that encouraged her to take this decision.
All in all, my cousin was impressed by the hostel facilities of AIIMS Jodhpur and loved the fact that she would be getting a single room with an attached balcony and bathroom!

Among the new AIIMS, AIIMS Bhopal tops the list of libraries as well as other facilities.AIIMS Bhopal has a modern-day library which is the best you can avail yourself of. If you need some strong points to believe this, I have listed them below:
The massive library of AIIMS Bhopal covers 3 floors and has centralized air conditioning.
The entrance to the library has a sensor-installed automatic door.
A fully digitalized scanner has made issuing and returning books a hassle-free process
The library also has desktop computers for browsing the Internet And reading eBooks.
Hardcopies of Novels, Short Stories and Biographies are also Available.
The first floor is for general reading. The second floor is for Medical and Nursing books. It also has a Conference Room for practicing Presentations, Discussion Room, and a Room Dedicated to Research Related Stuff. The third floor constitutes the e-library, Individual Reading area, and Computer Section.
Free Wi-Fi facility is available on all 3 floors
The top floor has Study Pods each with its own LAN Port and 2 Charging Port.
On every floor, there is a washroom and a water cooler
Trust me once you step inside this library, you will not want to go back.
Both VMMC and AIIMS Bhopal are well-respected institutions in India and both have strong programs in medicine. In terms of faculty, both institutions have highly qualified and experienced faculty members. However,
These points clearly hold AIIMS Bhopal higher than VMMC, but I would still suggest you go for VMMC. AIIMS Bhopal may be better in terms of hostel, faculty, and infrastructure advantages but the most important factor for choosing a college is its location. Delhi offers better opportunities in terms of salary as well as other prospects. Delhi hospitals like Safdarjung Hospital have the highest pay scale for PG residents. Being in Delhi, you can work hard and get into a better hospital or college by Delhi quota for PG.
Ultimately I feel location should be given the highest priority while choosing a college and that being said, VMMC is the best option for you. However, the best choice for you will depend on your personal preferences and goals.
I had the opportunity to visit AIIMS Bhopal as I was meeting a friend who called me to the library to discuss something. AIIMS Bhopal, well known for its beautiful infrastructure has a central library which has about 3 floors.
However, I found that the library lacked enough variety of books and should be stacked with better books. Overall, AIIMS Bhopal Library is a beautiful and peaceful place to study.
AIIMS Bhopal students are allotted a single-seater room from the second year i.e. the 3rd semester. In the first year, AIIMS Bhubaneshwar MBBS students are assigned rooms based on their gender.
Boys are assigned double-seater rooms with an attached washroom, whereas girls are assigned single-seater rooms from the first day.

MBBS from any AIIMS is equally good and anyone who claims otherwise has false information or hasn’t been exposed to the facilities of these peripheral AIIMS.
As for the high-tech medical instruments, UG MBBS does not require such equipment and the course is conducted mostly through clinical exposure and not research work. For this, we need enough cadavers, well-furnished labs, OTS, and well-maintained lecture theaters.
Every AIIMS provides these top-notch facilities and has excellent infrastructure that promotes a healthy academic environment. The quality of the infrastructure is further proved by the pic below
What you see here is a modular OT and a high-tech faculty that is present only in institutes of national importance because of funding from the government.
AIIMS faculty recruitment is unique and thus it’s not easy to take in just anyone as a teacher here. Moreover, the faculty shortage does not affect the quality of education.
The results of all these AIIMS and the successful doctors they have produce are a testament to their worth and credibility that is almost the same as AIIMS Delhi.
