AIIMS Delhi is one of the most prestigious medical schools in India and is highly coveted among medical students. It boasts an extremely rigorous curriculum and high brand value. However, only a small batch of applicants is able to pass the MBBS exam. This is because the program is highly competitive and even the most genius minds sometimes fail to clear the exam.

Intelligence alone cannot determine your success in medical school. As a medical student, you will need hard work, dedication, and also critical for success. The professor itself is very challenging and requires a great deal of dedication, commitment, and a strong desire to help others.

The first day at AIIMS Delhi for an MBBS student is generally filled with various orientation programs and formalities. Here's what you can expect on your first day:

• Reporting to the institute: You will need to report to the institute at the designated time and location, which will be communicated to you by the administration. You will be required to carry your original documents, admission letter, and fee receipt for verification.

The program will provide you with an overview of the MBBS curriculum, including the subjects and topics that you will study during the course.

Overall, the first day at AIIMS Delhi is crucial for getting acquainted with the institute and its processes. It's important to attend all the orientation programs and complete the formalities as per the guidelines to start your MBBS journey on the right note.

AIIMS is rightfully called the Harvard of the East owing to its excellence in the field of Medical education. AIIMS has a lot to offer and not every AIIMS student makes the most out of the plethora of opportunities offered. It depends on the individual and his goals.

Here are a few aspects that make AIIMS stand out amongst other medical institutes.

• The supreme quality peer pool gives way to meaningful discussions with everyone motivating each other to grow. 
• The faculty pool is equally qualified and diverse, comprising authors of international books, leaders in research in their fields, advisors to international committees, etc
• The overall mindset of the institute is towards striving for excellence. You are left with no option but to do your extreme best and succeed.
• The patient inflow is also quite diverse at AIIMS and apart from textbook cases, you come across rare diseases too. 
• AIIMS has an annual grant of ?1200 crore. This means better infrastructure and excellent research opportunities for the students. 
• The approachable and experienced faculty combined with good funding aid in research opportunities right from the 1st year
• Many AIIMS alumni work at top international universities. This is beneficial for research electives and USMLE prospects.
• AIIMS easily fulfills the required student-faculty ratio guidelines.

With so much to offer, AIIMS is definitely worth it. Remember that it’s the hard work that counts more than anything. Many top colleges give birth to average doctors and vice versa. 

As a student of UCMS, I will try to enlighten you about my college.

• Location- It is true that UCMS is located in the periphery of Delhi, and its surrounding is not as developed as that of VMMC. Regardless, the location of UCMS offers most of the facilities required for a good college life. You can access Cinepolis, PVR and Big Cinemas from here, reach CP in 20-30 minutes by metro/private vehicle, and catch a metro from Jhilmil metro station to explore Delhi/NCR. 

• Campus- UCMS has a beautiful campus, the best among Delhi medical colleges. It has a huge central field where you can play cricket, basketball, football, etc. Boys get single seater hostel rooms from the first year itself. The campus has two 24*7 canteens, a book shop from where you can access all your medical books, an ATM, and a post office.The hospital has undergone renovation, and looks new and well managed.

• Academics- UCMS offers excellent academics. The faculty is skilled and teaches with sincerity. The Histology Lab in the Anatomy department is really good. 

• Extracurriculars- UCMS has a sports society, a western dance team, a theme choreography team, a dramatics team, a musical society, a literary society and a medical education unit. You can join any of these.

According to me, both UCMS and VMMS are good medical colleges. You can choose the latter if location is a concern to you, otherwise, UCMS is a good choice too.

Here are some girls' hostels allotted to MBBS students of MAMC Delhi

• Old Girls Hostel (OGH): This hostel has ripple occupancy rooms with decent bathrooms and below-average mess food. This hostel also has curfew timings of around 11 PM.
• New Girls Hostel (NGH): This has been newly made with better and modern faculties and single occupancy rooms with a small balcony. The bathrooms were better in terms of sanitation, hygiene, and water supply. The curfew timings are better and students are expected to come back by midnight. This hostel has a Girls’ Common Room, a nice place for group studying and eating.
• Interns Hostel: This is the worst hostel in terms of construction and building. Most girls are allotted double occupancy rooms and the rest have the same rooms as single-seaters. The rooms were congested with no balconies and ACs were not allowed.

Overall, MAMC girls' hostel facilities aren't very good but you will make a lot of friends there and create amazing memories.
