University College of Medical Sciences - [UCMS], New Delhi

Here are a few parameters on which one can compare the two colleges-

• Academics- UCMS has a more rigorous testing schedule, which is why its academics is considered better. On the other hand, VMMC provides you with more freedom to study the topics of your choice. For example, if you wish to apply for USMLE, you will have ample time for standard books, and extracurriculars to boost your CV. 

• Campus- The campus of UCMS is double in size. But VMMC has a safer campus where you can roam 24*7 without safety concerns. This is because of a good number of security guards dispatched throughout the college and hospital.

• Location- Unlike UCMS, VMMC is surrounded by multiple hangout places. You can visit Hauz Khas, South Ex, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Green Park, and Saket from VMMC. CP is just 30 minutes away, even by metro. 

• Hostels- UCMS offers single seater hostel rooms for all, and the rooms are more spacious as well. At VMMC, you can customize your room according to your will. I don’t know about UCMS, but VMMC hostels have no curfew timings. NBH (New Boys’ Hostel) has good rooms, surrounded by greenery.

• Hospital- Safdarjung Hospital is better than GTB. It has the largest OPD in Asia, so you’ll have ample cases to learn. There’s a large number of PG seats at Safdarjung.

• Societies- VMMC has a dance society (Neocracy), a music society (Kehrawa), a fashion society, a sports society and a dramatic society (Kaivalya). I am not aware of the societies at UCMS. 

Based on these parameters, I would recommend you join VMMC for your MBBS. But even UCMS is a good college. 

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. 

Among the three option mentioned, PGIMER and RML hospital is the best option for doing an MD in General Medicine. It offers great exposure and academics. The spectrum of cases, facilities available, quality of care offered is exceptional. Other than Oncology, you will have exposure to all subspecialties.

UCMS is almost in the same range. However, it has a locational disadvantage. Other than that the spectrum of cases and academics offered at the institute is quite good. 

VMMC is also a decent option. But it has a high patient load. Academics are really poor and you will have to go out of your way to learn things. 

The best way to determine the ‘better’ college is to go through the highlights of both LHMC and UCMS

LHMC:

1. Its location in CP gives it an edge over UCMS.
2. The first-year curriculum is more rigorous than that at UCMS preparing students for future challenges.
3. LHMC has a wide variety of fully functioning societies and many competitions and fests help to make the campus life lively.
4. 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.
5. The SLMs or the Student Leadership Mission is a body comprising professors and students who join to raise awareness about sex, contraceptives, tobacco, organ donation, etc 
6. No gender stereotypes because it’s an all-girls college.
7. It’s Fest, Splash is better than UCMS Fest Ripple.

UCMS:

1. The curriculum is less rigorous so that students can dwell deeper into the subjects. Students are given a lot of holidays frequently.
2. UCMS has active and functional societies as well. Its most famous drama society, Manchayan, has participated in various colleges.
3. They have a bigger campus area which has a decent metro connection. 
4. It’s a Coed college so the exposure and crowd diversity is better.
5. 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. 

Without any second thoughts, go for UCMS. The academic ambiance is almost the same at both the colleges and both of them are highly reputed. Here are a few additional benefits of choosing UCMS over KGMU

1. You will not have to go through the rural bond
2. Generally, colleges in Delhi are far better than the colleges in UP. So as 50% of seats in NEET are reserved for State counseling admission to UCMS will be far easier.
3. Under the UP system, extra merit is given to those who have worked in PHCs for state counseling making it difficult for a fresher. Delhi doesn’t have such a policy.
4. Life outside campus is fun both in Delhi and Lucknow. Lucknow is known to have excellent food places while Delhi is the capital city. 
5. UCMS allows its students to attend the festival of various other Delhi colleges including AIIMS's Pulse.

Overall, both colleges have their strengths and weaknesses so choose wisely!

The best college for you depends on your priorities and goals. First, you need to figure out what exactly you are expecting from your degree and college. My sister had similar options as yours and she was looking for a safe location and easy commute, offering decent social life and good societies. She analyzed the pros and cons of each of these colleges and even contacted the seniors of these colleges. Here is what she derived regarding each college

• LHMC: The institute is famous for its prime location, brand name, and its safe all-girls environment. Its infrastructure has been renovated recently and its DU tag is very helpful. However, the patient load is less compared to other teaching hospitals in Delhi and if you live close by, you won't be given a hostel room either.
• UCMS: Being a co-ed college, it offers better exposure, hostel facilities, infrastructure, and an amazing patient load. This college too is under the DU and has some amazing societies and fests. However, its primary drawback is its location which is often considered unsafe, especially for girls.
• RML: Thistoo is co-ed and has a good location. It is considered to be the best medical college in Delhi after AIIMS and VMMC. Its IPU quota and newly established infrastructure are what sets it apart from the other two colleges. However, being new, it may be lacking in terms of reputation, alumni, and quality of fests. 

The academics are almost similar in these 3 colleges, so consider other pros and cons and make a wise choice.
