AIIMS Raipur is one of the top medical colleges in the country. It has one of the best medical faculties in India. It offers good academics and decent clinical exposure to students. There are good flow of patients in all departments, i.e. Surgery, Cardio, Medicine, Ortho, Skin, ENT, etc.  The institute offers all basic amenities. The E-library and the central library have a huge collection of books. There is 24*7 WiFi available in the E-library. 

Given the current situation, leaving AIIMS Patna for AIIMS Rishikesh or Raipur is not a smart decision. The following are the reasons: 1. Among all AIIMS, AIIMS Patna has the highest patient input (second only to AIIMS Delhi), and in medical studies, patients are your best teacher. 2. The AIIMS Patna PG entrance result is excellent, with several single-digit rankers in various entrance exams. 3. Dams (coaching for PG) has a center in Patna, so you can easily prepare for PG from here. 4. The campus is the largest of all the AIIMS, with numerous fields for casual play and hanging out. 5. A 1000-bed ward, various OTs, and a large library are just a few of the amenities available. You should choose the AIIMS closest to your home because with the minimal vacations provided to students, you will have frequent cravings to visit home yet keeping in mind that you cannot take much leave.

The hostels at AIIMS Raipur are good and very well maintained. The first year students stay in the AIIMS residential complex.  It is situated in Kabir nagar 5 km from AIIMS college Tatibandh.  All officers and doctors use this residency for accomodation. The first years are housed in a flat, in single compartment 2 rooms and another is an open room, one room is used by single students and the other one is for two students. The first year students (girls) are provided 3 Bhk flats (in AIIMS Residential complex, about three kilometres away from the AIIMS college) with two bathrooms which are shared by five girls.  Three of them are provided single rooms (2 rooms and the hall) and two of them share a room. All the basic facilities are available like 24 hour water supply, hot water, etc. The flats are clean and well maintained.  They are spacious and have two balconies. The first year students are provided a bus for transportation from AIIMS residential to the college. All students are provided single rooms from their second year onwards in the main AIIMS hostel.

It’s true that AIIMS Raipur is less preferred among the AIIMS. However, the hospital facilities and the patient load that they cater to are pretty good. Also, the campus is within the city, which is a plus point. But the campus facilities are not that good. The hostels are situated 1-2 km away from the main campus. The sports facilities on campus are also not that good. Also, there are rumors about the existence of the Naxalite community in the region. There are some of the reasons why students prefer other AIIMS over the Raipur campus.
