Which AIIMS is better in India out of the 7 AIIMS, other than AIIMS Delhi?
All the AIIMS are almost on the same level with differences only in the quality of one or the other departments. As a whole, all AIIMS are in the same league. however, these minor differences have resulted in people preferring one over the other. The top preferences after AIIMS Delhi are Jodhpur, Bhubaneshwar, and Bhopal.
- Students have misconceptions about AIIMS Patna and AIIMS Raipur in the quality of the crowd it welcomes. They also consider these cities as underdeveloped and very lacking.
- AIIMS Rishikesh is infamous for having very strict rules and regulations. On the contrary, Rishikeshs surreal ambiance is one of the major reasons people prefer it over other AIIMS. But it's a fact that Rishikesh has the most rigid hostel rules in addition to the railways' connectivity problem.
- The language and food problem in AIIMS Bhubaneshwar results in a major communication gap between students and patients speaking typical Odiya.
- AIIMS Jodhpur has a less diverse peer group in comparison to other AIIMS as South Indians cannot adjust to its harsh weather conditions.
- AIIMS Bhopal has a perfect blend of everything; no language barrier, diverse peer group, urban lifestyle, and great connectivity. All these make AIIMS Bhopal the first preference.
Ultimately, all AIIMS have equally good facilities and academic environments and the ultimate choice depends on what you are looking for in your dream college.

Which college is better for an MCh Neurosurgery AIIMS Delhi or NIMHANS?
This is very difficult to differentiate, as both of them are hugely notable for Neurosurgery. But like every other institution, they also have their fair share of pros and cons. Let me discuss some facts about both the institutes, analyzing which you can make your final decision.
- AIIMS has given many good Neurosurgeons. It has a high credibility value.

- NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute.
- It has got NBRC - Neuro-Biology Research Centre which provides proper infrastructure for research and technology advancement.
- There is no difference in the quality of work, patient management protocol, etc. at both institutes.
- The only thing bothering the students of AIIMS is the increase in faculty members. This divides the surgical work and less share comes on part of residents.
- NIMHANS has fewer faculty members as compared to AIIMS.
You can also choose the college favoring your location. North Indians generally opt for AIIMS while South Indians will go for NIMHANS.
Ultimately, it depends on the student’s choice, because both the institutions are equally good. But a university name does not matter, it might give you the first push but after that your training and your work will speak for themselves.

Both AIIMS and NIMHANS have been excellent institutes for neurosurgery. Both the institutes have their unique strengths and weaknesses. It’s better to weigh the pros and cons before coming to a final decision.
AIIMS Delhi
- AIIMS has given birth to elite neurosurgeons and enjoys a great level of credibility and global recognition.
- The neurosurgery department has top-notch infrastructure and all the modern facilities you could ask for.
- There is a dedicated trauma center, in addition to cadaveric training and research facility, neurosurgical education and training school, and an animal dissection lab.
NIMHANS
- NIMHANS is a dedicated mental health and neurosciences institute.
- It has an NBRC - neurobiology research center which provides necessary resources for research and technology advancement.
Both AIIMS Delhi and NIMHANS are equally good in terms of the amount of work, patient management protocol, and infrastructure. The only issue at AIIMS Delhi is the increasing staff as a result of which the surgical work gets divided and residents get less work. NIMHANS on the other hand has a lesser faculty count which does not necessarily mean more work.
Ultimately, it’s your performance that determines your success and not your institute. Institute just lays down the stepping stones for your future.

Can I get a seat at AIIMS Delhi if I start now?
Honestly, you won’t be able to get a seat at AIIMS if you start preparing now. You required an AIR within 100 in NEET, one of the most difficult exams for UG in India.
However, if you have studied for AIIMS previously and had taken a drop year then there are still chances. Give it your all and start studying passionately.
In most cases, however; it’s difficult to start from the beginning and get a seat unless you are a genius who gets 4-5 hours of sleep only and employs the best resources.
I have seen various people get admission with just a preparation of 4 months. Miracles do happen, all you need to do is believe in yourself and start preparing right away without wasting a single minute here.
Do students of AIIMS Delhi get opportunity to go to US UK during MBBS?
Yes, I’ve been to both the US and UK during my MBBS years at AIIMS New Delhi. But unless the students secure a research grant from ICMR, the trip is not sponsored. This means that they have to pay the expenses from their own pocket.
For a research grant, you’ll have to get a good research work done and present it to ICMR in a conference. Through a research grant, you’ll travel to the US or UK without having to spend a single penny.
On the other hand, electives to Oxford, Harvard, Hopkins are self-funded by the students. They go abroad for their electives during vacations. But this is highly discouraged by the administration as it results in loss of classes. Most students manage by missing a few classes or getting their internship extended in the later years.
