Questions Asked On MAMC, New Delhi

It will be better to go to Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi (MAMC). Here are some reasons why:

• MAMC Delhi is considered the best medical college for students going through NEET. 
• Many top students have always chosen this college. 
• You will get to study with the brilliant minds of the country.
• The one thing every student prefers about MAMC Delhi is its course fees. It is very less as compared to SGSMC Mumbai. Your entire MBBS tuition fees will be around INR 11,000. 
• Maulana Azad Medical College is run by the Delhi Government whereas SGSMC is run by Mumbai’s Municipal Corporation.
• MAMC being situated in Delhi provides the best college life with a huge campus with an indoor-outdoor sports facility, swimming pool, gym facilities, AC lecture halls, etc. Such perks are missing in SGSMC Mumbai.

If clinical exposure and academics are considered they may be at the same level, but MAMC being under Delhi University has an upper hand.

First and foremost you should know that both MAMC (Maulana Azad Medical College) and JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research) are amazing institutes. It is bit tough to decide which college is better but still I would help you in understanding the facts on which you can decide which college to choose:

• To get into one of the colleges you have to be a good scorer in NEET which is crucial.
• Geographically, the students who want to go for North India and he/she who has a good score, approach Maulana Azad Medical College at first. As the environment is quite conducive.
• Contrast to this, those students who belong from Southern Part of India prefer JIPMER as they get the same atmosphere as their home.

But let me assure you that getting into either of the institutes is a pride for a student. And there is no other factor to say no to any of the colleges. So you can take admission in either and move forward.

It is difficult to compare AIIMS Bhopal and MAMC. The former is run by AIIMS, directly under MoH&FW. While the other is run under MCI. There is no doubt that MAMC is one of the finest medical institutes in the country. But it is quite old. If we compare the growth of the institutes then it is safe to say that AIIMS Bhopal has progressed much faster. 

NEET toppers choose MAMC. On the other hand, the AIIMS tag is also greatly valued in the medical circle. AIIMS follows a different pattern of education. While being one of the oldest medical institutes, MAMC offers a better experience level in every aspect of medical science. In near future, AIIMS will stand way ahead of the old institutes. 

Both of these are great options. Which will be better for you depends on the parameters you are using to judge these institutes.

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.

Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) is definitely better than every other AIIMS. Though there are chances for AIIMS to grow in the next 3-5 years. But opting AIIMS over MAMC is really not recommended.

• MAMC has a huge patient load. But you need to remember that a huge influx of patients does not mean a huge amount of knowledge but it means more commotion.
• AIIMS are made to be tertiary care centers and to receive rare and quality cases. Hence the patient inflow is low.
• MAMC has PG reservations, which are yet to start at AIIMS.
• MAMC also gets the locational advantage, being in the heart of the city.
• The batch size here is huge, about 250, which sometimes becomes problematic.
• They have a better and more experienced faculty than AIIMS.
• Due to the pandemic clinical classes are held in the seminar rooms with just 10 students and a faculty. This lets the students interact with the teacher properly.
• A small group of students is also easier to manage by a teacher.
• Also the best thing about MAMC is its fees. It is much less than that of AIIMS.
• An MBBS course is around INR 11,000 at MAMC.

MAMC being a more older and experienced institution has provided its students with some of the best opportunities. But that does not mean that AIIMS is lagging behind. As it is also growing and providing students with the appropriate amount of exposure.
