Honestly speaking the type of doctor you become depends not on the institute you hail from but on the skill set you acquired and your own intellect. A patient does not care from which college they graduated but cares about your skills, your ability to make them believe in you, your delivery skills, and the satisfaction they get after consulting you. Your skills are more than enough to prove your talents as a doctor and your college has little to do with this the medical field is different from an MBA where the brand of the college determines your pay scale. Even average doctors manage to do well in this field owing to their ability to satisfy their patients and convince them.

So it's high time we look at the bigger picture and stop focussing on the medical college you will be completing your UG or PG from. 

The question is quite subjective and depends on your performance whilemoroaring for the entrance exams and your expectations from it. In my opinion, joining the lowest ranked medical college is not a wise decision considering the efforts you have already invested and are willing to do so more. Had I been in your place, I would have taken a back without any second thoughts 

However, if your goal was just to grab a seat and the brand value of the institute does not matter, then you can join even a low ranked college without much thought. 

Lastly, here is a piece of advice for those taking a drop year. Don’t target only AIIMS and MAMS, rather keep your option wide. Trust me India has many other reputed medical colleges too. Limiting your options will actually limit your opportunities too!

Yes, students of JIPMER have a more dynamic and thrilling college life than students of AIIMS Delhi. JIPMER students are free to explore outside the campus and students can be seen having breakfast at the beach, spending weekends in some fancy beach resort, driving through White Town with its perfect French architecture, and going for star-gazing on a clear night. They have access to world cuisine from French to Italian to Asian in beautiful restaurants. All these activities speak of the sense of freedom experienced by JIPMER students. 

However, this does not certainly mean that the college has no rules and regulations and students are left on their own. There are regulations on dress code and attendance to maintain decorum within the campus. Students follow these rules diligently. Recently they also banned students from bringing vehicles inside the campus, although relaxations were soon made.

All in all, JIPMER does provide more freedom to its students and lets them explore beyond academics without bringing down the discipline of the institute.

The best way is not to focus on any college while preparing. Let your inner self motivate you because if you don’t end up in your dream college, you will face a lot of backlash and feel mentally drained. This may hinder your growth. Always be ready to give your best. Make sure your results are improving every time and any shortcomings should be taken as motivation to work harder.

• Set specific, achievable goals for yourself.
• Create a study schedule and stick to it. Make sure to schedule breaks, as well.
• Surround yourself with positive influences.
• Reward yourself for your accomplishments.
• Stay positive and remind yourself of why you're working so hard.
• Look at the toppers of previous examinations that might motivate you. 
• Watching videos of toppers on YouTube is also a good source of motivation.
• Tell yourself, you are not preparing for AIIMS Delhi but for the next test.

 Remember that motivation is not always easy to come by, and it's okay to take a break and relax when you need it. Don't be too hard on yourself, and always keep in mind that progress takes time.

AIIMS UG students are well aware of their potential to stand out in a crowd and it is their high potential that makes them work hard again for PG. They have already worked hard to get UG admission and they know only their hard work will drive them to get PG admission. There are many perks of being a student at AIIMS Delhi. AIIMS UG students achieve that tag by working hard and working smart.

• Highly qualified faculty that provides excellent mentorship 
• A diverse patient inflow of both common and rare diseases.
• A highly competitive college environment.
• AIIMS Delhi has highly supportive seniors and you will be surprised to know that they even take lectures for us and teach clinical guidelines way before the faculties teach them. 
• The professional exams are much more challenging compared to the AIIMS PG exam. These exams have both MCQs as well as theoretical questions.
• The pedagogy adopted is modern and creative. 
• ACCC (Acute Critical Care Course), a course similar to BLS /ACLS is being launched by AIIMS faculty for MBBS students.

These are some of the reasons why most of the students to clear PG are from AIIMS Delhi. However, anyone who works hards and studies passionately can clear the AIIMS PG exam.

The life of an intern at AIIMS Delhi is full of freedom both in terms of study as well as hostel life. It’s up to you to attend the rounds, workup cases, or do no work and just study for your PG. No one will bother you either way. The least you will be expected will be to attend the OPDs and attend rounds. But if you are genuinely interested in learning, they will gladly teach you everything. 

You won’t be forced to do any clerical work or get reports/type discharges/ do other work. They let you experience an internship in the true sense of what it is, a phase to learn and not to work. 

However, when you are given the charge of certain things you learn to manage and take the lead. It’s then that the work of Doctor resonates in you. The internship experience at AIIMS Delhi leaves you with a lot of new learning msg and your personal growth as a man of opinions and humbleness
