AIIMS Bhubneswar is better. The institute offers good academics. There are weekly examinations in the first year. All the labs are equipped with latest instruments. The campus has an air-conditioned library with a reading room. 

The campus has good sports facilities. There are basketball courts, badminton courts,s and tennis courts. Many sports and cultural activities are organized throughout the academic year. Chiasma is the annual college fest. 

AIIMS Bhubaneswar is considered better in the following areas:

• It has a better student-faculty ratio. 
• The campus has newly established buildings, hostels, gyms, sports grounds, etc. 
• AIIMS Bhubaneswar gives more importance to the research. The college completes the course in time.
• It also has a brand tag with consistently good results in post-graduation. 
• Bhubaneswar offers a better city life compared to Cuttack.
• The student crowd is very competitive because top rankers from all the states come here and they have no State reservation.

The reasons for SCB being better are:

• It is one of the oldest medical colleges in the country with the best faculty and a strong alumni network.
• It has the largest medical library with a separate library for UG and PG students. 
• More than 3000 patients attend the OPD daily. Many patients are being referred from AIIMS BBSR to SCB also. Hence exposure to patients is huge.
• The cricket ground is maintained by OCA, Basketball court, badminton court, swimming pool, indoor games facility and gym are very good.
• New hostels are provided, AC classrooms have been set up too.

These are some of the facts that you should know about both institutions. The decision of choosing the college depends completely on you. Choose the one that suits your requirements.

Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) is definitely better than every other AIIMS. Though there are chances for AIIMS to grow in the next 3-5 years. But opting AIIMS over MAMC is really not recommended.

• MAMC has a huge patient load. But you need to remember that a huge influx of patients does not mean a huge amount of knowledge but it means more commotion.
• AIIMS are made to be tertiary care centers and to receive rare and quality cases. Hence the patient inflow is low.
• MAMC has PG reservations, which are yet to start at AIIMS.
• MAMC also gets the locational advantage, being in the heart of the city.
• The batch size here is huge, about 250, which sometimes becomes problematic.
• They have a better and more experienced faculty than AIIMS.
• Due to the pandemic clinical classes are held in the seminar rooms with just 10 students and a faculty. This lets the students interact with the teacher properly.
• A small group of students is also easier to manage by a teacher.
• Also the best thing about MAMC is its fees. It is much less than that of AIIMS.
• An MBBS course is around INR 11,000 at MAMC.

MAMC being a more older and experienced institution has provided its students with some of the best opportunities. But that does not mean that AIIMS is lagging behind. As it is also growing and providing students with the appropriate amount of exposure.
