AIIMS established in 2012 are mostly compared on secondary factors such as location, proximity to home, language, and reputation of the college among top rankers. Basically, it is personal preferences that make one AIIMS better than the other for someone. The cutoff and rankings should not only be taken into consideration while comparing and it is advisable to look at the bigger picture. During the early years of establishment, the top rankers preferred Jodhpur to Patna because of Bihar’s poor reputation. The subsequent batches followed the trend blindly and today too, AIIMS Jodhpur is preferable to AIIMS Patna. AIIMS Jodhpur is preferred by students from north or west India owing to the less distance from home. Additionally, the primary coaching belt lies in Kota and Delhi, making AIIMS Jodhpur a much preferable choice. Both the AIIMS pose no major language issues.
AIIMS Jodhpur enjoys a good location being an international tourist location, so you will get to experience a better college life than Patna, one of the dirtiest cities in India. The quality of life will be better for Jodhpur students.
So your first option should always be AIIMS Jodhpur followed by AIIMS Patna.
During NEET UG Counselling, a lot of candidates prefer AIIMS Bhopal over AIIMS Jodhpur for MBBS if not able to get a seat at AIIMS Delhi. Both AIIMS Jodhpur and AIIMS Bhopal are equally good colleges and amongst the top-ranked ones in the country.
One major reason why students opt for AIIMS Bhopal over AIIMS Jodhpur is due to the location of AIIMS Bhopal and its larger connectivity than AIIMS Jodhpur. AIIMS Bhopal is located in Central India and the state it is located in, i.e. Madhya Pradesh. The hostels at AIIMS Bhopal are as good as AIIMS Jodhpur, however, has much more freedom. The city of Bhopal also gives one more reason for students to join AIIMS Bhopal.
AIIMS Jodhpur is a bit far from the main city and the connectivity also is not as good as AIIMS Bhopal. There is also less freedom for students as the campus and the hostel wardens are extremely strict as well.
Thus, the location and connectivity of AIIMS Bhopal is one big reason why rankers prefer AIIMS Bhopal over AIIMS Jodhpur.

MBBS from any AIIMS is equally good and anyone who claims otherwise has false information or hasn’t been exposed to the facilities of these peripheral AIIMS.
As for the high-tech medical instruments, UG MBBS does not require such equipment and the course is conducted mostly through clinical exposure and not research work. For this, we need enough cadavers, well-furnished labs, OTS, and well-maintained lecture theaters.
Every AIIMS provides these top-notch facilities and has excellent infrastructure that promotes a healthy academic environment. The quality of the infrastructure is further proved by the pic below
What you see here is a modular OT and a high-tech faculty that is present only in institutes of national importance because of funding from the government.
AIIMS faculty recruitment is unique and thus it’s not easy to take in just anyone as a teacher here. Moreover, the faculty shortage does not affect the quality of education.
The results of all these AIIMS and the successful doctors they have produce are a testament to their worth and credibility that is almost the same as AIIMS Delhi.
Here are some important points to consider if you are going to choose JIPMER for your MPH:
National Health Programs, and Health Management. The second year includes the advancement of all the first-year subjects. The subject of Health Promotion is also studied in the second year. There is no focus area or specialized study.
For MPH from AIIMS Jodhpur-
These points will help you in your decision-making. In the end, the decision completely depends upon individual preference.
Some of the advantages of studying at AIIMS Jodhpur are academics at the same level as Delhi colleges, brilliant faculties, access to library and e-library, ragging-free campus, well-furnished single accommodation rooms, and decent mess food.
Disadvantages of AIIMS Jodhpur are its remote location and no outdoor life. Academic pressure leaves little room for enjoying college life.
Both AIIMS Rishikesh and AIIMS Jodhpur are at the same level in terms of the quality of education offered, infrastructure, and research culture. What sets them apart is the college life experience they offer and the students they attract because of their locations. The PG results prove the credibility of both the institutes so choose one based only on your personal preferences.
AIIMS Jodhpur has a slightly better cutoff than AIIMS Rishikesh as most of the toppers are from Rajasthan and end up choosing AIIMS Jodhpur over AIIMS Rishikesh. This shouldn't be seen as a differentiating criterion.
I am inclined towards AIIMS Rishikesh because of 2 core reasons. The newly launched MCG pattern for all its exams that help you prepare for NEET PG and its splendid location in the lap of mother nature. So it is best to stick to your decision and don’t opt for upgradation.
Both the AIIMS Jodhpur and Bhubaneswar are reputed medical colleges with similar curricula and facilities. Usually, students consider the proximity to home while making this decision. That being said, most North Indians prefer Jodhpur while South Indians prefer Bhubaneswar.
The other factor people consider is the nature of college life offered by these. Jodhpur is a tourist heritage city with a very hot climate whereas Bhubaneswar is a capital metro with a pleasant climate. Had I been in your place, I would have always chosen AIIMS Bhubaneswar over AIIMS Jodhpur. Here’s why
I don’t mean to demean AIIMS Jodhpur especially when it has the best sports facilities among all AIIMS. Ultimately it’s your decision to make!
