Would you rather take the lowest ranked semi pvt medical college somewhere in India or take a drop and get AIIMS MAMC Delhi? Why?

Honestly, there was a time when I was so focused on getting into AIIMS Delhi that I would have even skipped MAMC for it. But looking back now, I think no college or hospital deserves that much stress. Plus, a few years here or there really shouldn't make a big difference for you or anyone else.

I'd definitely take a drop to get into AIIMS MAMC Delhi. The experience and exposure you get there are unmatched. The faculty is top-notch, and the curriculum is designed to give you real-world applications in medicine. Plus, the fee structure is so affordable at around 2500 per year, which makes it accessible for everyone. The one-year internship after MBBS at Lok Nayak Hospital is also a huge plus, providing hands-on experience that you won't find in lower-ranked colleges. Honestly, the reputation of MAMC opens so many doors for your future career.

I think the choice really comes down to how well you feel you did during your prep time and what you're hoping to achieve in the final exam. If I believed that going to the lowest ranked semi-private college wouldn't reflect the hard work I put in and my score wasn't lining up with my usual mock test results, I wouldn't be happy with that option and would likely opt to take a year off to try again. However, if my main aim was simply to secure any medical seat, regardless of the college, I'd go with the one I got.

Here's a lesson I learned a few months after taking the NEET: if you're turning down a spot at a lower ranked college, don't focus solely on getting into AIIMS or MAMC Delhi. Instead, aim for getting into a top 10 or top 20 college. India has many well-respected medical schools. I say this because right after the NEET, when I realized I missed my chance at AIIMS Delhi, I considered giving it another shot in 2021. Looking back, I wonder what was going through my mind!

I think I'd choose to take a drop and aim for AIIMS MAMC Delhi. The quality of education there is exceptional, and the professors are highly qualified. With the curriculum focused on practical skills and the opportunity for a paid internship, it makes a big difference in your learning experience. The low fees of around 2500 per year also make it financially viable. Plus, being part of a college with such a strong reputation can significantly boost your career prospects in the medical field.

Honestly, I'd rather take the lowest-ranked semi-private medical college than take a drop for AIIMS MAMC. The pressure to get into such a prestigious college can be overwhelming, and the competition is insane. Even if MAMC has great faculty and low fees, I feel like the stress during the NEET preparation is not worth it.

I’d rather start my journey in a college where I can balance my studies and life without the constant stress of preparing for a highly competitive entrance exam.
