RANKING OF MEDICAL COLLEGES BY PMT GURUMANTRA

PMT Gurumantra, a website launched by the medical students of Vardhman Mahavir Medical College AND AIIMS  provides you with the list of top medical colleges, which was prepared after consulting the medical students all across India. There are plenty of magazines and websites which can provide you with the list of top medical colleges across India. They claim that their survey is based on education facilities and research opportunities provided by the institution but it is usually seen that they include some of the private colleges in the list too which don’t seem to fit in.
We, at PMT Gurumantra, have prepared the list after ample research and discussion with the students of those particular colleges. We have taken following parameters to prepare the list:
ü College Infrastructure
ü Internal PG (as in AIIMS,VMMC & IMS-BHU)
ü Hospital Infrastructure
ü Average number of patients visiting the OPD per day
ü City (Delhi = Mumbai > State Capital > Cities >Town
ü State (North-East < South / North < UP/Bihar< MP < Maharashtra < RAJASTHAN<Gujarat<DELHI)
ü Recognition of State P.G. seats (in most of the colleges in MP, P.G. seats are not recognized)
ü Bond for rural posting (in Maharashtra)
ü Faculty
ü Past academic record
ü Hostel facilities (you are going to spend the most unforgettable 5 1/2 years of your life here!!!)
ü Ragging scenario – yes it is still prevalent in many colleges in UP and Bihar; but it’s fun in rest of the colleges.
ü Fees (lowest in AIIMS, MAMC, LHMC & UCMS)
ü Recreation Facilities – sports, culture, literature – AIIMS and AFMC are the colleges where you would get ample opportunity to groom your interests and passion.
ü Attendance – yes! Not now, but once into college you would realize that you should have chosen a college where regular attendance is not a compulsion – here too AIIMS leads the list.
It is clear how our ranking would be different from the others because they take research and hospital facilities to be the only criteria. They fail to realize the importance of these small but significant factors. It is also important to note that the ranks which these magazines give should not be and actually I must say, are not followed while choosing the college, the reasons being:
 
Ø AFMC is ranked 2nd by these magazines but no student getting under 1000 rank in AIPMT goes for it. In fact many students prefer taking less known medical colleges in B grade towns of MP, UP and Bihar instead of AFMC. Even some students getting selected in AFMC only prefer taking a drop than joining it.
 
Ø VMMC is seen nowhere in the list but is the fourth college to be filled in AIPMT counselling after MAMC and simultaneously with UCMS and LHMC.
 
Ø Manipal and many private colleges have been included in the list but no one prefers it over any government medical college.
 
Ø They don’t take into account the Internal PG factor which is the most deciding factor while choosing a medical college.
 
Moral of the story is that don’t believe in such lists prepared by any magazine or news channel.They include the names of some selected colleges for the sake of earning some bucks.
It should also be noted that a single list of top medical colleges can never serve as a priority list for a single student. Hence we have prepared a priority list which would help you to select the college of your choice according to your needs and preferences.
1. AIIMS,NEW DELHI
Everyone knows it is the first choice for every medical student.
But students from southern states can choose in between JIPMER (better) and CMC Vellore if they don’t want to remain away from home. JIPMER has Internal PG advantage on its side and is better known as AIIMS of the south . Internal PG advantage is not there in its northern counterpart i.e. AIIMS ; hence if you are very studious types and would not mind missing out the fun being in AIIMS, then undoubtedly, JIPMER is a smart choice.
Similarly, for those who belong to the eastern region, who are very studious type, who love attending lectures, who don’t care about the ‘delhi factor’ , who like and can easily acclimatize in the city of Banaras, for them IMS-BHU can be a smart choice because of a large number of Internal PG seats. Although the people would consider you a big fool but in my view, you would have made a smart choice by selecting BHU because if you are talented enough to crack AIIMS then you will easily manage to get a PG course of your choice because here you will face limited competition and that too from those who were far behind you in the competition. Also the college has good faculty and good infrastructure. But it would be difficult for the North Indians to adjust here, particularly if you have AIIMS as an option, so avoid it if you do not fulfil the above criteria. Go for AIIMS.
2. MAMC=JIPMER
Excellent faculty, Excellent academic record, good infrastructure, cheep education, delhi city as well as the Delhi PG advantage makes it the first choice in AIPMT counselling. It has been a trend always and every student follows it blindly. Same rules apply here – Southern candidates should better choose JIPMER and among the North Indians, those who care for their PG seats can choose in between VMMC and BHU in preference to MAMC.
3. VMMC =BHU
 
VMMC
 
BHU
Ø New college
 
 
Old and well known Institute, now considered as the Institute of National Importance
Ø Delhi city advantage.
Cinema halls, discs, cultural fests of plenty of college, PG coaching, good exposure, near home, well connected, good food etc. There are many more such advantages which I cannot disclose here.
 
Banaras city – unfriendly and unfavourable conditions; though the campus is free from the ill effects of the city
Ø Excellent Hostel facilities.
 
Hostel is good, you can live comfortably.
Ø Safdarjung Hospital is the largest tertiary care hospital under Health Ministry.
 
Hospital has good Infrastructure
Ø Practically no research work
 
Active research work
 
 
4. UCMS = LHMC=CMC VELLORE
While University College of Medical Sciences is usually chosen by the boys, LHMC (Lady Harding Medical College) is only for the girls. No internal PG but Delhi PG advantage.
 
5. AIIMS BHOPAL/RISHIKESH/JODHPUR
NEW COLLEGES WITH AIIMS TAG AND BEST FACULY HANDPICKED BY ALL INDIA.
NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND FUTURE PG RESERVATION IN AIIMS.
 
 
 
6. seth gs (Mumbai)=GRANT MEDICAL COLLEGE
Note: Seth GS, Mumbai has very good infrastructure and is excellent in academics, hence it used to be the 3rd choice of students but because of the bond restriction, it should be avoided now.
GRANT also has very good infrastructure and is excellent in academics, but because of the bond restriction, it should be avoided now. Still you can consider if you want to study in a good medical college.
 
7.KGMC, Lucknow = GMC, Chandigarh=SMS,jaipur
Ø Good colleges; city advantage.
Ø KGMC particularly good in academics and research but UP disadvantage.
Ø Choose on the basis of location
 
 
 
8.BJMC,AHEMDABAD
PG ADVANTAGES
 
 
9.AFMC
Consider it only when you can acclimatize in the Armed Forces and can tolerate such a degree of discipline or if you belong to the army background. There is also bond restrain and you would have to give a sum of Rs.35 lakhs if you don’t want to serve in the army after completing the course. Otherwise, it is undoubtedly one of the best medical colleges in the country with excellent infrastructure, academics, recreation and sports facilities and many other benefits – the greatest one being a lieutenant and serving the army and that too with a handsome salary and allowances.
But strictly speaking life is not as good as it appears to be. You can easily leave it as the option and prefer any other college instead.
 
 
10.Rest all the colleges are similar(CHOOSE ACCORDING YOUR LOCATION)
After all the main colleges have slipped from your hands, you are free from the confusion. After it, all the colleges are similar and have no special benefits as such. Hence, here city and the state factors come to play. Choose the college which is nearest to your home. But avoid UP, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, North east unless it’s your home state.
 
Over all list of the top Medical Colleges
1. AIIMS,new delhi
2. MAMC,new delhi=JIPMER
3. VMMC=BHU
4.UCMS=LHMC
5.AIIMS BHOPAL=AIIMS RISHIKESH=AIIMS JODHPUR

    Sir , I’m in great dilemma..please help me. I am from patna and have secured air 927 in NEET 2013. I’ve got pmch patna in first round counselling..and most probably will get GMC Mumbai in 2nd counselling. I know that’s better than pmch but as I’m from Bihar should I head to Mumbai. Cause I’ve heard about their anti bihari sentiments. Reply soon.

  6. Majaz Ahmad says:

    Sir, I need your urgent help. I have a confusion. I attended counselling of AIIMS, and I got AIIMS patna. and probably I will also be getting VMMC after counselling. I am just stuck > i need to know what I should do, I mean AIIMS TAG is a very impressive on one hand and VMMC is very very good on the other. Both have advantages of their own. I have very less time to decide. AIIMS admission is on 5th august and VMMC counselling is on 31st august. I need your urgent help. Please reply me or please help me by mailing me your suggestion. My email ID is “myselfmajaz@gmail.com”

  7. Majaz Ahmad says:

    Sir, I am getting AIIMS Patna. But I can even get VMMC, Just help me here. I am very very confused. Should I prefer VMMC? will it be a good decision? I mean people are saying that how can I not see the great AIIMS tag, AIIMS regulations, faculty and a very new infrastructure and a fresh start under aiims patna and others. I mean yes, a fresh start is a good sign where errors of institution can be teken in care from previous inceptions and can be minimized. I have read your views and the way you helped each and everyone of us. I hope you will help me very much here…
    waiting for your reply
    Majaz

  8. molly gupta says:

    sir can i please know what is the pg advantage in new aiims like bhopal…..is it so that certain percentage of pg seats b reserved for aiims students …can u give any authentic source (like aiims website or brochure) of this information… thanks

  9. Saini P says:

    Sir my son has been selected(MBBS 2013) in AIIMS Jodhpur. However he is more interested in Grant Medical college or Seth GS Mumbai.Kindly suggest which one is good

    • Rahul Chawla says:

      Grant and Seth GS both are very good but they have bond issues….and salary in PG is not much. AIIMS Jodhpur has AIIMS tag attached and it will have PG advantage. So, we advice students to prefer AIIMS.

  10. sonal gandhi says:

    sir, i also want to ask betwwn lhmc and ucms which 1 should i choose.

  11. nikita says:

    sir, is there any specific reason for placing vmmc before ucms and lhmc…and if given the choice between ucms and lhmc which one should i choose?

  12. AMAN PRASAD says:

    Though the new AIIMSs have excellent faculty and infrastructure but why should these colleges be chosen against other colleges with good academic records?
    I also heard that anatomy classes at some of the institutes (Patna) are being held at some other medical colleges. What I mean is that the AIIMS Tag should not be our only motto.

    And according to you what should be the prefence list of an AIIMS aspirant for the AIIMS-like institutions? Also tell me what was yours.

    Another question, are the AIIMS faculty good enough to students of reserved category?
