Which college should I choose: IMS BHU or KGMU Lucknow?

It is suggested that you go for IMS BHU over KGMU Lucknow. Here are some reasons to support this statement. IMS BHU is a central institution, while KGMU is under the State Government. It has only 100 students while KGMU has 250 students. The competition is balanced when there are lesser students. It has an internal PG reservation (50%) while KGMU has a State reservation (50%). IMS BHU being central offers more Stipend (INR 23,500) as compared to KGMU (INR 7500). If you prefer western culture you will like Lucknow more than Varanasi. Though this varies among everyone. KGMU has a rural service bond of 2 years for UG which is the major drawback. However, ithas a better-maintained campus than IMS BHU. Overall it can be said that both are brilliant in academics. The campus should not matter much. As these choices could vary from person to person. So choose based on your priorities.

Which is better, SMS, Jaipur or KGMC, Lucknow?

Both are equally good when it comes to resources or rankings. But, KGMC is slightly better in the number and extent of cases. It is also quite ahead of SMS Jaipur reputation-wise. It is on the way to becoming one of the top autonomous medical institutions of excellence. It is ranked 10th for medical by NIRF 2020. SMS Jaipur is ranked 27 in NIRF 20. You can even compare the paygrade here to AIIMS. The only other comparable college is AIIMS to KGMC. I have a few friends at KGMC and they vouch for the college. Based on the interactions I had with them, I will suggest that you choose KGMC.

In what order would you rank MAMC, KGMU, AFMC. IMS BHU, CMC and Grant Medical College?

According to the reviews online by the students of these colleges, here’s what the ranking seems to be like: KGMU has mostly been ranked among the top 5 institutions in India. It usually maintained its place in rank 2 or 3. This institution is 125 years old with proper educational experience. AFMC is a very disciplined institution with strict rules and codes of conduct, as it has direct affiliation with Armed forces. Though being well reputed, in academics and exposure it might lag behind. MAMC, Grants Medical College (GMC) and IMS BHU are at a similar level. Some students claim MAMC to be slightly better than AFMC. GMC is very popular in and around Maharashtra. IMS-BHU is autonomous; it has the reputation of BHU tagged along which is beneficial. CMC is amongst the oldest medical colleges, but their severe lack of proper facilities in this college and political disturbances have tarnished its reputation. Therefore it is suggested you either go for KGMU or MAMC, as they will provide you with the required exposure and opportunities.

Which is better: Grant Medical College or King George's Medical University or Seth GS Medical College?

This choice majorly depends on the student and his preferences. Seth GS: If you prefer studying a lot probably most of the time then opt for Seth GS. They have a highly qualified staff and caters to KEM Hospital. You will be studying amongst some of the brightest minds. The hostel and accomodation facilities are the only problem, due to its location. GMC: If you want to enjoy your college life, Grant Medical College (GMC) will be good for you. It has the largest campus in Maharashtra. GMC conducts the best cultural fests and events, be it sports, art or academics. This provides great exposure. The staff here is also highly qualified just like KEM. Students here tend to lean towards the extracurricular activities more than the studies. The campus has 2 boys hostels and 1 girls hostel enough to provide lodging for all the students who apply. The hostel provides facilities like hot water, pure drinking water, beds, tables, etc. Most people will claim that KEM is better for your career. But at the end of the day you also need some extracurricular activities to engage in and avoid the monotony.
