You can check the 2023 NEET UG cutoffs for AIIMS Rishikesh in detail. This will give you an idea of the admission requirements at the institution.
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.
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.
AIIMS Rishikesh is considered one of the best new AIIMS for several reasons. Some of these include:
The highly rigorous campus life combined with the best academics and faculty makes AIIMS Rishikesh one of the best medical colleges!
If you don’t have any personal preference, choosing MD Gynae at AIIMS Delhi will be better. OBG has good facilities. AIIMS Delhi has excellent monitoring facilities and nursing backup. It witnesses many high-risk pregnancy cases. The department offers services such as minimally invasive surgery, preventive & operative oncology, and general gynecology.
Other than the traditional academics, the department organizes various CMEs, live workshops, and seminars in all fields. OBG-AIIMS is associated with programs such as WHI (Women’s health initiative) program, HRCC (High-Risk Reproduction Centre), and WHO center for research in Reproduction.
I refuse to believe that the quality of education in AIIMS is any less than in AIIMS Delhi. AIIMS Rishikesh is one of the fastest-growing AIIMS and has so much potential. Like everybAIIMS, it has its unique curriculum that is updated frequently to meet the needs of the students. Some unique aspects of the AIIMS Rishikesh curriculum are
Overall, AIIMS Rishikesh gives equal importance to research and education and this doesn't mean its quality of education is any less than other AIIMS.
Life at AIIMS Delhi cannot be compared to other AIIMS as it is the mother AIIMS and will always be a notch better than others. Also, its location plays a major advantage in giving you the best college-life experience.
After AIIMS, what was fulfilled by expectations of a dynamic college life was AIIMS Jodhpur. It certainly is heaven for food lovers and has many watering openings every now and then. For everyone, there is a set criteria for a good college life and for my sister, it was one that gave her freedom and academics on the same plate. AIIMS Jodhpur ended up as the best choice fulfilling both criteria.
AIIMS Jodhpur offers a splendid college life second only to AIIMS Delhi.
The only word that can describe the exposure and academics at AIIMS Rishikesh is excellent, my brother had the absolute delight of attending the live shoulder arthroscopic workshop held in 2018. He was impressed by the clinical exposure there. The world's most learned surgeon Dr. Sanjay Desai and the entire Orthopaedic department is expert in arthroscopic surgery. These clinical trials are conducted frequently under the esteemed guidance of the renowned surgeon and Professor Ravi Kant.
The institute has high-Tech facilities with around 20 laminar airflow OTs where all the joint replacement surgeries are conducted. AIIMS Rishikesh is the only Orthopedic department in India offering MCH in Orthopedics. The institute has a huge patient inflow with all modern facilities. There are no reservations in AIIMS for PG.
Yes, there are guest houses available for parents in AIIMS Rishikesh, Bhopal, and Jodhpur.

AIIMS Rishikesh is definitely better than PGIMS Rohtak. It's one of the fattest developing medical institutes and is reaching new heights every year. Every year, more PG seats are added, maximum in all peripheral AIIMS. With the appointment of the new director, many top-notch facilities have been added and the accommodations have been improved considerably.
AIIMS Rishikesh has one of the best blood banks in India and has some of the rarest machines in the country. Its Radiology department has an MRI of 3 Tesla and a CT scan of 256 slices which is only available in a few places in India.
The institute is funded by the Central Government and is located in Rishikesh, one of the most beautiful cities in India. It has some of the best faculties that focus a lot on MBBS students. The institute has several STS projects and intra-mural projects.
So, definitely choose AIIMS Rishikesh over PGIMS.
