Usually MAMC is the first choice of aspirants. But, a good number of students choose VMMC over MAMC despite getting really high ranks, and having a Delhi state quota. The reasons for this decision are-
- VMMC is much newer than MAMC, UCMS and LHMC. Thus, it offers a modern and fully air-conditioned infrastructure.
- Workload for the first 1-2 years is much lighter.
- There are only semester-end exams. Despite this, the education quality is top notch.
- VMMC offers the benefits of an internal PG quota.
- The batch strength is smaller. This facilitates better interaction with peers and professors.
- Safdarjung Hospital has the largest OPD in Asia with a dedicated Specialized Burns Unit. So you’ll get more opportunities to learn during postings and internship. There is an entirely separate Sports Injury Centre as well.
- The hostels are air conditioned, and the girls' hostel has no curfew. The library reading room remains open 24*7.
- VMMC is located in the heart of South Delhi. The best hangout spots like HKV, Dilli Haat, Promenade are all located at a close distance. SN market and South Ex are just 5 minute drive away.
Thus, I would recommend you choose VMMC for your MBBS degree.
