I joined LHMC this year instead of any peripheral AIIMS I could have got. Now everyone is saying they will be better in a few years and I'm freaking out now?
No, you certainly made the right choice by choosing LGMC over any other peripheral AIIMS. I have seen many medical aspirants run after the AIIMS tag and choose a peripheral AIIMS only to regret it later. Only the ones that have been established for about 5–6 years are worth taking admission in.
In my opinion, it’s better to go for a medical college that has a legacy of more than 10 years as it will be better academically, environmentally, and even in terms of the campus life it offers. Choosing LHMC will expose you to better opportunities especially because of its prime location in CP. Moreover, it also has Delhi Quota for MD. The clinical exposure is also unmatched and the internship opportunities will be plentiful.
So, put your worries to rest as you have made a wise decision by choosing LHMC over a peripheral AIIMS.
What are the major differences between LHMC and MAMC?
Both LHMC and MAMC have a similar quality crowd and even the location is similar. In fact, LHMC is just 2 km away from MAMC. MAMC however, is nearer to the metro station.
LHMC takes postings seriously. The girls are given a lot of freedom so LHMC not being a co-ed hardly affects the quality of their campus life in any way. In fact, it makes it better because of the unimaginable freedom.
Both the colleges have a decent academic ambiance. LHMC is well-known for its OB-GYN and Pediatrics departments. Girls get a lot of hands-on experience and are trained excellently under the guidance of experienced faculty.
A true and literal comparison between these colleges can only be made after personally visiting colleges.
What should I choose between LHMC, UCMS, and RML?
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.
Is life boring in an all girls college like LHMC Delhi?
As a fresher at LHMC, you’ll realize the burden of being a med student. Tests will be conducted every week, and the academics will be burdened. But it is the case with co-ed medical colleges too.
From 2nd year though, things will start to relax. You’ll make friends, and start exploring. LHMC is located in CP, so you’ll have access to all the amazing spots. Sometimes you’ll bunk postings and party all night long.
But most importantly, you’ll feel extremely proud of being a part of LHMC.
A girls’ environment does get toxic at times. Gossip culture and rumors will be quite prevalent, but you’ll learn to pay no attention to all this. You’ll develop a good dressing sense by watching others dress up so elegantly. You’ll celebrate festivals, and create endless memories with friends.
So basically, life at LHMC is anything but boring.
How is the life of PG residents of DELHI university colleges namely MAMC, LHMC and UCMS?
The life of a PG resident of Delhi University colleges like MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS depends on the steam they belong to. For instance, LHMC OB-GYN and Paediatrics have the highest workload while the rest of the streams have relatively lesser workload.
Almost every stream has an equally high workload in MAMC be it Medicine, Surgery, Gyn, or Paediatrics. The heavy workload teaches the students to push their limits to achieve their goals. It trains them better and also imparts knowledge. Most MAMC graduates can handle any case confidently which even some consultants with an experience of more than 20 years find difficult to manage. UCMS on the other hand offers a moderate workload for all streams.
So, choosing MAMC will give you an all-rounded experience where you will gain maximum knowledge and experience. LHMC is a great choice if you are specifically interested in OB-GYN or Paediatrics only.

This doesn’t mean that a student can dress up the way she wants to. However, it’s necessary to maintain decorum and dignity, and therefore, it’s required by a student to be dressed up neat, clean, and decently.
Being a professional college, the college doesn’t encourage messy looks or shabby clothes to be worn on the college’s campus.
In the initial/first years, the girls are retained from wearing things like slippers/chappals, dresses, shorts, or sleeveless tops. But, this rule exists only for the first-year students, and from the senior years, the students can wear whatever they want to.

How often do you regret being a day scholar at LHMC?
Being a day scholar at LHMC has its own pros and cons.
LHMC is located in CP, and well connected to the rest of Delhi NCR via metro. So commuting on regular days is no issue at all. Metro time is rather enjoyable. You can catch up with friends from other colleges. It is a good opportunity to finish your typing/editing work and save up some time. Metro will become an indispensable part of your daily routine.
But during exams, and particularly practicals, spending 2+ hours commuting is a waste of time. Even during theory exams, it is a struggle to travel back and forth from the college daily.
Carrying heavy books to and from the college is very hectic, one such book is Park’s and Robbins. Another thing is that you’ll miss out on a lot of fests and events. Traveling back home after the celebrations is an issue.
So yes, there will definitely be days when you regret being a day scholar at LHMC. But it is mostly during fest and exams.
How are the hostel facilities at LHMC, delhi? What is the probability of getting a hostel for an AIQ or G.N. candidate?
Freshers at LHMC Delhi are allotted 3 seater rooms. These are pretty average, and not spacious enough. Hostel maids don’t clean well, unless you pay them extra. So maintaining and cleaning your room will be your own responsibility.
The hostel has common washrooms. No outsiders are allowed. Water and electricity are available 24*7. There’s no curfew timing, but you will have to sign in and out on a register near the hostel gate.
The hostel library is in poor condition, but you can access the college library. It is quite good, and its reading room remains open for 24 hours. The mess food is bad. ACs and coolers aren’t allowed, but every room has them regardless. The campus has a paid laundry service. There aren’t any washing machines in the hostel. LHMC hostels aren’t great, facility-wise.
During hostel allotment, people from outside Delhi are prioritized. Your permanent address records will decide how quickly you get to the hostel. The farther your residence is from Delhi, the earlier you’ll get a seat.
Even though the LHMC hostel isn’t top-notch, you’ll make endless memories over here.
