It won't be right to talk about other institutions that offer Neurosurgery, but as one of my friends studied at NIMHANS, I will be able to share some details about it, analyzing which you can make your choice.

• Being a referral centre, NIMHANS receives lots of patients.
• The OPD’s will run up to modest hours in the evening and with cases ranging from PIVD to brainstem gliomas. 
• The casualty will have a dedicated trauma team that receives 100–150 trauma cases per day, ranging from mild concussions to SAH.
• OT will run on all working days or all days in case of emergencies. 
• The surgeries include aneurysmal clipping to functional surgeries such as DBS or functional hemispherectomy.
• There will be academic programs throughout the week including general classes to journal clubs.
• The main focus falls on clinical work, so you will get a lot of raw material to work with to gain clinical knowledge.
• If your interest lies in research, there are competing people there also, to encourage and guide you.

Ultimately, it is your duty to gather information from the cases, and what you learn from each of them after completing the clinical work. Always be ready to face any situation and work a hectic schedule.
