What attracted you the most towards AIIMS Delhi?
AIIMS Delhi is the dream college of many medical aspirants. My brother although, an average student dreamt big and always wanted to make it into AIIMS Delhi. What attracted him to AIIMS Deli was his friend's brother who had an AIR 19. In school, his friend would casually tell him how his brother is preparing for PMT but one day when he actually saw both of them on television after clearing the exam, he was determined to follow the same path. He realized by dreaming big, one can actually achieve it.
He started preparing relentlessly for AIIMS but due to personal reasons failed to achieve the bare minimum and thus was not eligible to appear for the AIIMS preparation test. This disheartened him and he went through depression. Soon he realized that giving up is not the solution and only his big dream can motivate him to stand up again.
Can you tell me the perks of being at AIIMS Delhi to motivate me in these last few days of preparation?
The major perk of being at AIIMS is the AIIMS tag you will get associated with for the rest of your life. In addition to that the highly qualified teachers and huge campus with splendid facilities make it worth the hype.
It’s rightly said, some things cannot be described through words. That being said, I will let the following photos do the work and convince you to prepare for getting into AIIMS Delhi
I hope the beauty of the institute compels you to give your level best and get admission here.
How is internship (after MBBS) in AIIMS, Delhi?
Internship at AIIMS Delhi is considered to be one of the most prestigious and competitive internships in India. It offers an opportunity for MBBS degree holders to gain hands-on experience in various medical specialties and subspecialties. The internship program at AlIMS is known for its rigorous training and diverse patient population. However, internship at AIIMS is more relaxed in comparison to other medical colleges. In other colleges, as an intern, you will have to be on duty for the entire shift, and night shifts are also compulsory.
The posting in the major departments is very flexible with a lot of relaxation on the interns. All he is required to do is be present during the ward rounds, OPD, and sampling procedures and that's it. Sometimes, however, AIIMS Delhi interns are posted in the village for around 3 months which is a very challenging experience. There, they are required to run the PHC.
Overall, an internship at AIIMS Delhi is a beautiful learning experience with a minimal workload.
Which MBBS college will be better if I have to go for USMLE after AIIMS Delhi and top Delhi colleges?
Honestly, I believe that more than the institute it is your caliber and dedication level that decides if you will be able to crack USMLE. The AIIMS tag definitely helps but is not the sole medium through which you can crack USMLE.
Here is a shining example that proves my theory. Dr. Nikhil Munshi neither did his MBBS from any AIIMS nor a Delhi college yet managed to crack USMLE. He completed his medical degree from Maharaja Sayajirao University, followed by an internship and residency in internal medicine at Shri Sayaji General Hospital and Maharaja University in India. After completing an oncology fellowship at Johns Hopkins Oncology Center, he became a professor of medicine in the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, as well as an attending physician at VA Boston Healthcare System and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. His journey proved that even an average college can produce excellent doctors and vice versa. What you should focus on is yourself and not the institute.
So we can say that studying at AIIMS or Delhi colleges like MAMC gives you an upper hand at USMLE for sure but are not necessary for the same.
Does JIPMER PG require different preparation than that of AIIMS/NEET PG?
Here are some things you should know about JIPMER PG exam and related prep-
- Solve previous year question papers; they do play an important role.
- JIPMER paper has a good number of questions from previous AIIMS/NEET PG papers.
- The paper has a bit more concept oriented and problem-solving type questions than the NEET-PG paper, similar to the AIIMS exam. It will test how deeply you know the concepts.
- It is a computer based exam, so you’ll get a lot of image based questions.
- The JIPMER PG exam is quite difficult, so prepare well.
I hope this information will help you prepare well for the entrance.
Does the facilities provided in AIIMS Delhi and all other AIIMS like institutes are same?
I have a friend who was a student at AIIMS Patna and she shed some light on the facilities there. Here are a few facilities that are common in both AIIMS Delhi and AIIMS Patna.
- Every student of AIIMS Patna is allotted a single room right from the 1st year.
- AIIMS Patna also allows the installation of AC with a minimal yearly fee
- You can renovate your rooms to a certain level by changing and installing custom shelves and almirahs.
- AIIMS Patna has the second-highest OPD patient inflow after AIIMS Delhi.
- There isn’t any language barrier as most patients and professors speak Hindi.
- Students are encouraged to take up research projects under the guidance of Professors.
- There are no restrictions regarding night timings.
- Every student can access the Gym
- Free WiFi with a really good speed
There are many aspects wherein AIIMS Delhi gives an edge to AIIMS Patna and other AIIMS.
- AIIMS Delhi has excellent sports facilities including a swimming pool, tennis court, and a basketball court.
- AIIMS Delhi has the most diverse peer groups as students from all over India prefer it over other AIIMS.
- AIIMS Delhi provides the much coveted urban life with an abundance of malls, markets, cafes, and restaurants.
Overall, the basic facilities provided in AIIMS Delhi and other AIIMS are somewhat similar with minor differences only.
What is it like to be a PG in the radiology department of AIIMS Delhi?
In the initial days, it will take time to adjust to your specialty as you go from UG to PG. The drastic change in the field might seem challenging and it will take time for you to adapt yourself to the field. Radiodiagnosis is a field in which you had zero exposure at the UG level.
- AIIMS Delhi Radiology Department has a great academic environment providing excellent exposure to its students.
- Both diagnostics and interventional fields of the department are well established with a highly qualified faculty base.
- The course gives you enough time to involve in extracurricular activities
- PG students receive a monthly stipend of around 90K.
- The department is laid-back and calm with many opportunities to relax and enjoy life.
- The faculty is highly cooperative and the seniors are always ready to assist you.
Overall, the life of a PG student in the Radiology Department of AIIMS Delhi is very relaxing and the only flaw is the lack of hands-on experience with the patients.
What research can one do in AIIMS Delhi as an MBBS student?
The research work is not influenced by the institute you belong to rather it’s your hard work, talent, and determination that comes to count. No doubt, AIIMS has some top-notch ongoing research every time, but research work can be done from any institute. I have seen many AIIMS students work with labs at IIIT, IIT Delhi, NCBS, IISERs, and labs abroad. Every research opportunity can be availed just by the click of an email.
The primary step is to analyze where your interest lies and look up to a professor who is conducting research in the same. Contact him and convince him of your abilities and passion. As a bonus, you can take part in research electives or summer schools in your field which will add to your overall learning experience.
Some might find it difficult to do research work alongside their studies but remember your hard work will not go in vain. But it’s important to note that as a UG student, research should be solely based on your interest and not something you are doing out of boredom or as a formality.
Which is better for an MS in General Surgery: AIIMS, JIPMER or PGI?
Surgery can’t be read and understood. Also, no matter the number of simulations you run through, practicing on a human body is very different.
Now, with their limited number of beds, these institutions perform complex surgeries through protocol defining procedures. As a resident at these, you won’t perform many surgeries. Also, you’ll have a limited exposure to trivial diseases. On the flip side, you’ll witness some of the best surgeons at work, and access top notch technology. To master surgery, you’ll have to become an SR at these institutions.
But at a decent government college hospital, the volume of patients is very high. As a result, you’ll be pushed into the OT. So you’ll get good practice, under proper supervision. However, at these colleges, protocols take a back seat. You’ll have to compromise with low funding as a resident at these institutions.
I would personally recommend going for a decent government college. But you should choose according to your own preferences.
