Can I prefer AIIMS Patna over IGMC Shimla considering Patna as a city in Bihar?
Yes, AIIMS Patna is definitely a better choice than IGMC Shimla because no matter how much natural beauty you will experience in Shimla, being a state college you will have the disadvantage of bonds.
AIIMS Patna on the other hand is an institute of National Importance that has been growing leaps and bounds over the past 11 years. The best part is that these new AIIMS are expected to grow more in the future while the state colleges maintain a similar situation.
AIIMS Patna will offer the best facilities and infrastructure and you will be guided by the best faculty. AIIMS Patna has a much more diverse student body than state colleges and the experience will be surreal as you are a part of the group. So I feel if you are against Patna because of the city or location, trust me as a medical student you will have no time to explore the city, and mostly your day will be spent inside the campus. So why miss the AIIMS tag!
Is it true that the second generation AIIMS (Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Jodhpur, Patna, Raipur, Rishikesh) are suffering from lack of faculty and hightech medical instruments for MBBS UG course?
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.
Is AIIMS Patna located on the outskirts of the city? Does it have malls and restaurants nearby and if not how much time would it take to reach main city and airport or station?
Owing to its massive size (134 acres), AIIMS Patna was built a little away from the main city. However, there are connectivity issues and many facilities are available that keep it well-connected to the city. There are many recreational places too that one can explore apart from studying
- A number of restaurants are built right outside AIIMS Patna such as Cafe’7, Second Wife Kitchen and Cafe, Champaran Meat House and Restaurant, etc.
- Recently, a new Monginis Cake Shop outlet has also opened outside AIIMS Patna
- At a distance of 5 km from the campus, a very good market and a new mall is there in Phulwari Sharif.
- At a distance of 7.5 km, many malls and restaurants can be found in the area of Anisabad situated around 7.5 km from AIIMS Patna.
Transport issues are rare as a shared auto-rickshaw ride costs 10 rupees to Phulwari Sharif and 20 rupees to Anisabad from AIIMS Patna. Additionally, you can book Ola cabs and Rapido bike taxis. The campus enjoys good connectivity to the city and airport. Also, it just takes around half an hour to reach Gandhi Maidan. Recently, the elevated highway has started functioning making things much easier.
AIIMS Patna Vs AIIMS Nagpur which one should I pick in USMLE prep point of view? Are there students in AIIMS Patna preparing for USMLE?
Students from AIIMS, as well as State Colleges, prepare for USMLE. Medical colleges don’t help you with USMLE preparation, you have to work for it yourself.
But it does help to have batchmates and seniors who are preparing for the same. Also, a good record in extracurricular activities and research work will make for a strong application.
AIIMS Patna and AIIMS Nagpur, both have candidates preparing for their USMLE. However, AIIMS Patna was established in 2012, while AIIMS Nagpur, in 2018. Therefore, AIIMS Patna allows for more exposure and networking opportunities with seniors and alumni as compared to AIIMS Nagpur. Professors at AIIMS Patna are very encouraging in terms of research work participation by the students, and from the Batch 2020, students have to perform, in their 3rd or 4th year, one compulsory project.
Thus, AIIMS Patna has a few advantages over AIIMS Nagpur in USMLE preparation. However, at the end of the day, individual efforts and dedication are what matter the most.
