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.

Which AIIMS is better excluding AIIMS of new Delhi?
AIIMS Delhi is no doubt the best medical institute in India. However, given the extremely high cutoff and competition for admission to AIIMS Delhi, it is quite difficult for a student to get into AIIMS Delhi for popular courses like MBBS and B.Sc Nursing.
Apart from AIIMS Delhi, one can opt for several other AIIMS across the country which have a lesser cutoff and competition. Choosing the better AIIMS totally depends on multiple factors such as the individual preference of the student, infrastructure, location, hostels, etc.
Based on rankings, AIIMS Jodhpur is the second-best ranked AIIMS after AIIMS Delhi followed by AIIMS Bhubaneswar, AIIMS Rishikesh, AIIMS Patna, and AIIMS Bhopal. AIIMS Jodhpur has been ranked 13th in India by NIRF 2023 followed by AIIMS Bhubaneswar and AIIMS Rishikesh at 17th and 22nd positions, respectively.
AIIMS Jodhpur is one of the most developed AIIMS with an excellent infrastructure. The institute has a beautiful campus with a good patient load. It is equally popular for extra-curricular activities. AIIMS Jodhpur hostels are another big reason to choose the institute owing to the facilities provided. Similarly, AIIMS Patna, Bhubaneswar, and Bhopal are other top AIIMS for students with a very good patient load and excellent faculty. The hostel rooms are quite good with proper hygiene and comfort.

Can I get some pics of AIIMS, Delhi hostel rooms?
Sure, here are a few pics personally clicked by my cousin who was a student at AIIMS Delhi.

How was your first day at AIIMS Delhi?
My friend shared her first-day experience at AIIMS Delhi which came out to be extremely unexpected and weird. She reached her department (surgery) and the professors briefly introduced the field. A professor guided the students throughout the campus. He enquired about their accommodation and told them they have to stay at the hospital 24/7.
He went on to tell how hectic their lives are about to become and there will be days they won't be able to get any sleep or food. He advised the students to always carry their food and stay hydrated.
He told them about the AST or the AIIMS Standard Time which is 15 minutes ahead of the entire world. He further directed the students to the Ward and introduced them to the Senior Resident. On reaching the ward, 3 seniors were assigned to the group to guide them further. The students were assigned work that continued till evening.
My friend's roommate asked him if he wanted to join him for a campus tour to which he eagerly agreed. The walk through the campus was never ending as there were so many things to see. They spotted a barber salon on the campus and a coffee spot. There was also a 24/7 library and a late-night ice cream tuckshop.
Overall first day at AIIMS is unpredictable with a lot of surprises that might leave you anxious. But the excitement of making it into the dream college overshadows all such anxieties!
How does AIIMS Delhi treat a student who has cleared the AIIMS entrance exam on the 3rd attempt?

AIIMS Delhi just admits around 350 students over the period of 5 years leading to a family-like bond among all students. No one is outcasted or made to feel inferior just because of the number of attempts they took to clear the entrance. What matters is that eventually, you managed to get into AIIMS Delhi which in itself is a great feat.
It's better you discard such negative thoughts and focus on your studies with positivity.

Today she has almost completed her degree and is on the verge of achieving her dream!
