Questions Asked On MAMC, New Delhi
I am now in MAMC Delhi. Should I drop this year to get into AIIMS Delhi? I am sure to get selected next year.
AIIMS Delhi and MAMC Delhi are both the most reputed colleges in terms of academics and placements. AIIMS Delhi offers limited 125 seats annually which makes it really competitive to get admission. Although it is equally competitive to get into MAMC, the college offers a total of 250 seats annually for the MBBS program.
Both institutions have well-experienced faculty, infrastructure and strong curriculum. Admission at AIIMS Delhi is not guaranteed unless one goes through counselling and secures the seat as AIIMS doesn’t offer management seats.
MBBS curriculum is the same in both colleges. Hence, the college tag doesn’t matter however, everything is dependent on your skills, knowledge and learning during your internship posting where you utilize all your theoretical knowledge into practice.
It is advisable for you to continue your education at MAMC without dropping out and wasting one year. Make the most of the resources available and you can always continue your PG studies at AIIMS Delhi by clearing INI CET. Also, AIIMS Delhi conducts INI CET twice a year i.e. January Session and July Session which provides you with an opportunity to appear at your desired time.

Why should one choose VMMC over MAMC?
VMMC offers 170 seats for the MBBS program whereas MAMC offers a total of 250 seats. While both VMMC and MAMC are very renowned colleges, the first year at VMMC is still quite stress-free whereas MAMC adheres to a strict curriculum.
VMMC offers a top-notch infrastructure with modern equipment and supportive staff. It has one of the largest government hospital complexes in India along with Asia’s largest OPD. On the other hand, MAMC also offers decent infrastructure and facilities on campus for students’ overall well-being.
The primary reason for aspirants to choose VMMC is the Internal PG reservation. Since VMMC is affiliated with IP University, UG students (MBBS) are eligible for an internal PG Quota and can secure MD/MS seats at VMMC.
It is advisable to choose VMMC to avail the benefits of reservation for PG courses. Although, MAMC doesn’t provide any reservations for PG courses. Students graduating from MAMC are equipped with a strong academic foundation and can be highly competitive.
Should I choose VMMC over MAMC and UCMS just because of its PG benefits?
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.
How is the girl's hostel of (MBBS) MAMC Delhi?
Here are some girls' hostels allotted to MBBS students of MAMC Delhi
- Old Girls Hostel (OGH): This hostel has ripple occupancy rooms with decent bathrooms and below-average mess food. This hostel also has curfew timings of around 11 PM.
- New Girls Hostel (NGH): This has been newly made with better and modern faculties and single occupancy rooms with a small balcony. The bathrooms were better in terms of sanitation, hygiene, and water supply. The curfew timings are better and students are expected to come back by midnight. This hostel has a Girls’ Common Room, a nice place for group studying and eating.
- Interns Hostel: This is the worst hostel in terms of construction and building. Most girls are allotted double occupancy rooms and the rest have the same rooms as single-seaters. The rooms were congested with no balconies and ACs were not allowed.
Overall, MAMC girls' hostel facilities aren't very good but you will make a lot of friends there and create amazing memories.
If someone is getting Maulana Azad Medical College and all AIIMS, other than AIIMS Delhi then what should that person choose?
This answer may vary from person to person but Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) is a well reputed and much older institution. Hence it has years of educational experience. On the other hand the AIIMS are relatively new and require a lot to learn and develop to be considered at par with MAMC.
MAMC:
- You can totally rely on the things taught here. As all the classes are taken by some of the experienced teachers.
- Their years of experience provide proper guidance on how to approach any situation.
- They have a gigantic campus, attached to notable hospitals like - Lok Nayak, GB Pant and Guru Nanak Eye Centre.
- There is a 50% DU quota for PG admissions.
- They have a batch size of 250 students, which at times could feel crowded.
- Being in Delhi, it has access to many good coaching institutes.
- Getting proper accommodation may take time.
Other AIIMS (except New Delhi):
- Campus is almost new and has well equipped labs and equipment.
- Almost everyone gets a hostel from day one and hostels are really in good condition.
- Batch size is small.
- Faculties are a mixture of new and experienced professors.
- AIIMS Patna does not offer any PG courses.
- Except AIIMS Bhubaneswar and Bhopal, other AIIMS do not offer PG degree in all courses.
- AIIMS Guntur and Nagpur function from their temporary campus.
- Many departments in other AIIMS are not fully functional.
- There is less accessibility to good coaching institutes for PG preparation.
- There is no 50% institutional quota.
Therefore, MAMC, overall, is much better and reliable as an institution. MAMC promises certainty. So it will be better if you go for MAMC. AIIMS Bhopal, Bhubaneswar , Jodhpur and Rishikesh are developing fast, but AIIMS Patna, Raipur, Nagpur and Guntur are still lagging behind.
Which college is better for an MBBS: the MAMC or VMMC?
Usually MAMC is the first choice of aspirants. But, a good number of students choose VMMC over MAMC despite getting really high ranks, and having a Delhi state quota. The reasons for this decision are-
- VMMC is much newer than MAMC, UCMS and LHMC. Thus, it offers a modern and fully air-conditioned infrastructure.
- Workload for the first 1-2 years is much lighter.
- There are only semester-end exams. Despite this, the education quality is top notch.
- VMMC offers the benefits of an internal PG quota.
- The batch strength is smaller. This facilitates better interaction with peers and professors.
- Safdarjung Hospital has the largest OPD in Asia with a dedicated Specialized Burns Unit. So you’ll get more opportunities to learn during postings and internship. There is an entirely separate Sports Injury Centre as well.
- The hostels are air conditioned, and the girls' hostel has no curfew. The library reading room remains open 24*7.
- VMMC is located in the heart of South Delhi. The best hangout spots like HKV, Dilli Haat, Promenade are all located at a close distance. SN market and South Ex are just 5 minute drive away.
Thus, I would recommend you choose VMMC for your MBBS degree.
Which is better, AIIMS Bhopal or MAMC?
It’s not difficult to choose one between the two as I would always give preference to MAMC over AIIMS Bhopal.
- AIIMS Bhopal was recently infamous for its lack of faculties
- AIIMS Bhopal has a poor study plan and its curriculum is poorly structured
- The AIIMS tag is not helpful at all for this branch.
Considering the above points, MAMC is the best choice for you. The faculties are highly qualified and it also delivers good quality education.
So we can say one-day AIIMS might become a prime institute but right now it doesn't look to be in a very good condition
Which college should I choose, MAMC or JIPMER?
Both these premiere Indian institutes are academically at par with each other. But you should consider these points when choosing between the two-
- JIPMER is located in Pondicherry and has no airport connecting it to metropolitan Indian cities. For the nearest airport, you’ll have to travel all the way to Chennai.
- Pondicherry is much safer though. You can walk alone in the evenings without any fear.
- JIPMER is much bigger than MAMC. Also, JIPMER provides top notch hostel facilities, at par with private colleges. Its campus is very well maintained as well.
- The JIPMER campus is so huge that students use scooties and bikes to travel from one block to another.
- MAMC offers more variety for North Indian meals.
- At MAMC, patients speak Hindi. At JIPMER on the other hand, Tamil is the dominant language. So there is some communication gap initially, but one learns to manage with time.
- Delhi offers a better city life, more malls and better movie theaters. Pondicherry is a calm and serene place with beautiful beaches. There aren’t huge shopping malls and big multiplex theaters over there, but you’ll be mesmerized by its natural beauty.
Both the colleges are equally excellent. You must choose between them based on your personal preference.
