Questions Asked On LHMC, New Delhi
How is life in LHMC?
LHMC is an amazing place to spend the best days of your life. She met some exceptionally talented students and made awesome friends in a short period of time. She absolutely loved how the seniors were so cooperative and introduced them to societies bringing all like-minded people together. The teachers at LHMC are not addressed as Sir or Maam, rather they are called Di.
The city life here is even better and you can always sneak out to have delicious food at Connaught Place or go for a late-night walk around CP. There are concerts around the year and many festivals and club events make the overall campus life dynamic.
So, life at LHMC is very vibrant and exciting!
What are the benefits of doing an MBBS from LHMC?
My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC. Also, the all-girls setting was somewhat new and difficult to adjust to after studying in co-ed all her life. However, soon everything started to become normal. She still vividly remembers how well her first dissection went. She made friends and their best hanging spot became the Statue of Lady Hardinge. All kinds of snacks from tea to noodles were available here.
The seniors were surprisingly more friendly than expected and introduced juniors to various societies and extended parent-like support. Ragging did not exist even in the smallest form making the campus very safe. She witnessed her seniors organizing functions efficiently making her realize the all-girls environment gave more opportunities to girls here than a co-ed college would ever give.
It was a month later that she realized that LHMC had never been her dream college or even her batchmates but the college warmly accepted everyone and would help her achieve her dream.
Which is currently better - LHMC or UCMS?
The best way to determine the ‘better’ college is to go through the highlights of both LHMC and UCMS
LHMC:
- Its location in CP gives it an edge over UCMS.
- The first-year curriculum is more rigorous than that at UCMS preparing students for future challenges.
- LHMC has a wide variety of fully functioning societies and many competitions and fests help to make the campus life lively.
- LGMC also holds the Medicus Conventus, an annual medical conference, conducted by Mediquest which is the official medical society of the college. Students are provided with hands-on experience in suturing, research, and many more things.

- No gender stereotypes because it’s an all-girls college.
- It’s Fest, Splash is better than UCMS Fest Ripple.
UCMS:
- The curriculum is less rigorous so that students can dwell deeper into the subjects. Students are given a lot of holidays frequently.
- UCMS has active and functional societies as well. Its most famous drama society, Manchayan, has participated in various colleges.
- They have a bigger campus area which has a decent metro connection.
- It’s a Coed college so the exposure and crowd diversity is better.
- UCMS has better hostels and students are allotted single occupancy rooms right from the first year.
Both colleges are similar in terms of academics, degrees awarded, and functional societies so choose the one that aligns with your preferences.
Which college should I opt for between LHMC and VMMC?
I am listing below the advantages of each of these colleges-
LHMC-
- It is located at Connaught Place.
- It offers the prestigious DU tag.
- LHMC has better academics than VMMC.
- It is an all-girls college, so it is safer for girls.
- You’ll get the Delhi State quota for PG seats.
VMMC-
- It is located at South Extension, near AIIMS.
- It has better infrastructure than LHMC.
- The clinical exposure is better due to the greater diversity of cases.

What is your review of Lady Hardinge Medical College?
One of my sisters is a part of Lady Hardinge College and her experience at the college has been amazing.
The college has a gigantic auditorium and administrative block, other than which there are no efficient places to talk about.
You will enjoy several outings during your stay at the college because the campus lacks a good food joint. You can also order food from nearby restaurants in Paharganj or Connaught Place. The food is nominally available in the food mess at the hostel which is not tasty.
The major downside is the infrastructure it has, as opposed to other institutes such as AIIMS, MAMC, or UCMS. The gymnasium at the college is not very well equipped. However, as per what my cousin states, it is a decent university when talking academically.
Which one is better Lady Hardinge Medical College or the University College of Medical Sciences?
Lady Hardinge Medical College is better. It is counted among the best medical colleges in the region. The teaching faculties are excellent. College seniors are supportive, they will help you provide guidance. The coursework includes weekly examinations, so students need to study regularly. This makes sure that the coursework is completed on time.
Hardinge has many societies that you can be a part of and find similar-minded people. The sports facilities and extracurricular activities offered are good as well.
What are some of the pros and cons of studying at Lady Hardinge Medical College?
Just like every other college, the Lady Hardinge has some pros and cons. One of my friends studied there, and here are some of the things she mentioned about the institution.

How was your first month at LHMC as an MBBS student?
My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC. Also, the all-girls setting was somewhat new and difficult to adjust to after studying in co-ed all her life. However, soon everything started to become normal.

How was your experience in Lady Hardinge Medical College?
One of my friends studied at Lady Hardinge Medical College. According to her, the experience in the Lady Hardinge Medical College can be depicted as such:
- First Year- The experience at the first year was not up to the mark as the syllabus, college and the city were not soothing. The only thing to like was the city Delhi and its name.
- Second Year- You can hang out more in the city and would be used to everything that happens in the college.
- Third Year- The pressure in the third year is less than that of the previous two years and the college gives a home-like feeling.
- Fourth Year- You will start having an emotional connection with the college and start to regret thinking about the time you will leave the campus.
Internship -
- The best part of college life is the time one spends during the internship.
- Staying at the hospital and campus the whole year and having outside food is the best that one can experience.
There are certain advantages of studying in Lady Hardinge College too. Being an all-girls college, it helps girls to feel comfortable, safe, and independent at any time be it 3 am. The location is just the best and has the best food outlets.
The infrastructure is good. However, the new hostel is better. The auditorium is the best place on the campus. The institute provides good academics and has all the facilities available including the labs, libraries, dissection halls, LT’s, etc.
Which college is better, LHMC or RML?
I don’t know much about RML/ABVIMS, but I can highlight a few points about LHMC-
- Clinical Exposure- RML offers more clinical exposure for medicine and surgery. This is why half of LHMC postings are conducted at RML. However, LHMC is one of the best in India for Gynae and Paeds. Moreover, LHMC has opened a new academic block, a new OPD block, and new super specialty blocks in recent years. This will increase clinical exposure at LHMC.
- Infrastructure and location- LHMC campus is small yet beautiful. It is located in CP, and well connected to the rest of Delhi NCR via metro.
- DU quota- As an LHMC student, you’ll get a DU quota for PG studies in MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS. IPU has a huge number of PG seats, but the competition is quite high.
Both RML and LHMC are top medical colleges in Delhi. As a student of LHMC, I can assure you that our college provides ample growth opportunities.
