Pursuing MD/MS in India after completing your MBBS is called Residency and for the exact same thing, the exam in the US is USMLE. In order to get into John Hopkins after an MBBS,
On average, JHU takes 1-2 international students every session for Residency from all over the globe. There is no fixed procedure for exceptional cases. Most AIIMS students working in JHU complete their residency in the US and worked extraordinarily hard to join elite institutes like JHU as doctors.
Honestly, the South Indian food served in Pondicherry cannot be tolerated by North Indians for long because they are not used to the spices and the tamarind. But the bright side is, that Pondicherry has some amazing places serving North Indian and continental food.
I don't think food is a major obstacle for a North Indian MBBS student at JIPMER. Here is what the food at Pondicherry looks like.


The above pic shows scrumptious Bread and Chocolate, Auroville. The restaurants in Pondicherry are amazing so food should be your last concern here.
As a North Indian, my friend faced some major language issues, especially at the time of applying for ward leave. Her worst experience was the RHC posting during her internship. She had to interact with people in rural areas who spoke a more complex version of the language.
Overall, North Indians might miss their food and interact with their locals but not regret choosing JIPMER despite that!
Yes, there is an unofficial annual trip for MAMC 1st year students, usually after the end of 1st Professional Examinations in the month of August. The trip is the perfect break from the tiring exams and is highly looked forward to by the freshers. This trip was initiated by the seniors who also accompanied students on the trip.
However, since the trip is unofficial, the students have to bear all the expenses of travel, stay, adventure activities, and meals.
My friend was a first-year student at MAMC and his batch was taken on a trip spanning Saattal-Mukteshwar-Nainital. They started the journey with a bus and soon reached their first destination. Instead of staying in hotels, they set up tents surrounded by lush greenery and lakes and waterfalls. They even organized a campfire and played all sorts of games. Many adrenaline freaks also took part in adventure sports like Rock climbing, Rappelling, Kayaking, flying fox, etc.
Overall, it was an amazing experience and I recommend going on the batch trip once with your batchmates.
The internship scenario at VMMC is quite disappointing and tiring. The number of patients is so huge in all the departments and interns have to work more than required to get the work done. Their focus is not to learn new procedures but to complete the work and go. Here is the department-wise scenario
Overall, through the internships, you will get confident at least in minor tasks, and gain a lot of hands-on experience.
There are no college-sponsored trips in AIIMS Bhopal but the students plan a trip there to get a break from their studies and explore many places. AIIMS Bhopal has a beautiful location with a river, a hill station, and a waterfall in close proximity to the campus. My sister was a batch of 2019 and here are a few trips she made with her batchmates
In addition to these trips, students of AIIMS Bhopal frequently visit Malls and nearby markets.
AIIMS Patna is one of the premier medical institutes in India, and completing an MBBS from there can offer several benefits. Here are a few:
AIIMS Patna has top-notch infrastructure and campus facilities that enhance the overall learning experience.
Every college is good in one or the other aspects. Its location, faculty, and infrastructure are the main factors that determine a college's priority. The following list contains the colleges in order of priority based on their pros and cons.
Pros:
BHU: No requirement to sign a bond
Seth GS: Located in Mumbai with the best academic structure
KGMU Lucknow: The location and academic structure are perfect.
Other AIIMS: No need to sign any bond and the fee structure is affordable. AIIMS tag can help you with USMLE purposes.
Cons:
BHU: Located in Varanasi, it lacks the facilities of metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai
Seth GS: Mumbai is expensive and a bond of 1 year needs to be signed
CMC Vellore: You will have to learn Tamil as it is located South India. The fee structure is pretty expensive.
Other AIIMS: They are usually not located in a good location except for Bhopal and Bhubaneswar.
The preferred order as per the pros and cons can be - BHU> AIIMS> KGMU> Grant> Seth GS> CMC Vellore
One college can be good for you but bad for others. This is because your own needs determine which college is best for you. So choose wisely.
All three insulations, AIIMS Patna, KGMC Lucknow, and Grant Medical College, Mumbai, are well-respected in the field of medicine and have a strong reputation for providing quality education and training to students pursuing an MBBS degree.
AIIMS Patna is known for its top-notch infrastructure and other campus facilities and good academics. It’s the most preferable AIIMS after Delhi. KGMC Lucknow is also a decent college though I am not aware of its infrastructure. GGMC Mumbai on the other hand is the best option of the three. Here is why
The above list is not exhaustive and there are many more points as to why GGMC is a better choice than AIIMS Patna and KGMC Lucknow. Ultimately, it’s your call to make. If you are after the AIIMS tag, go for AIIMS Patna but if you want to enjoy your life along with decent academics then JJ would be the best choice for you.
My friend shared her first-month experience as an MBBS student at LGMC. The initial days were very gloomy because almost everyone who failed to make it to their dream schools landed in LHMC. Also, the all-girls setting was somewhat new and difficult to adjust to after studying in co-ed all her life. However, soon everything started to become normal. She still vividly remembers how well her first dissection went. She made friends and their best hanging spot became the Statue of Lady Hardinge. All kinds of snacks from tea to noodles were available here.
The seniors were surprisingly more friendly than expected and introduced juniors to various societies and extended parent-like support. Ragging did not exist even in the smallest form making the campus very safe. She witnessed her seniors organizing functions efficiently making her realize the all-girls environment gave more opportunities to girls here than a co-ed college would ever give.
It was a month later that she realized that LHMC had never been her dream college or even her batchmates but the college warmly accepted everyone and would help her achieve her dream

A day in the life of an MBBS student at AIIMS Bhopal looks like this
Once the classes are over, you can do whatever you watch. Different students can be seen doing different things like playing games, studying, hanging out, watching movies, and other activities.
Life at AIIMS Bhopal is the right mix of fun and studies. Some students love exploring their books while some want to explore beyond. You are free to study whatever and from wherever you want. Such a sense of freedom is quite surreal.
