Most of the students prefer AIIMS Rishikesh over other AIIMS because of its location. It is a very peaceful place, appropriate for an educational institution.

AIIMS Rishikesh is also known to offer the best facilities for the students. The course curriculum and overall academics are more or less the same in every AIIMS. But One thing that makes it stand out among the others is the professional exam conducted by them for the students. These tests are in the form of MCQs, which is an Objective paper.

These are some things that make AIIMS Rishikesh better than the other AIIMS. Analyze every detail before getting admission to any college.

AIIMS Jodhpur is better than AIIMS Rishikesh if you are looking for PG degree. It offers more seats for PG programs. There are 103 seats at AIIMS Jodhpur while AIIMS Rishikesh has 74 seats.

In terms of faculty and patient load too, AIIMS Jodhpur is better. You will be offered good lab facilities. The labs are well-maintained and equipped with the latest instruments.

Every student gets single room accommodation in the hostel.  The mess facilities and food quality are better than any other medical college. 

You should opt for AIIMS Rishikesh. It is more developed and offers better infrastructure. It runs super specialty courses. AIIMS Rishikesh also has a better faculty base compared to AIIMS Patna.  It has a fully functional hospital with 24*7 emergency, more than 26 operation theaters, CCU, ICU, and NICU. Also, it has 3000+ opd.

Among all peripheral AIIMS, AIIMS Rishikesh has the highest number of PG seats.

In Medicine, your branch preference matters more than the institution. It is so because Engineering and MBA graduates are able to switch their domain, doctors have to stick to their specialty. 

It is suggested that you continue with MD general medicine rather than opting for MD emergency medicine at AIIMS Rishikesh. Here are some reasons why:

• Independent Practice (entrepreneurship), which is also possible with emergency medicine, if you have enough financial resources to come up with an ICU setup.
• Super-specialization in areas such as gastroenterology, endocrinology, neurology, cardiology, rheumatology, and even critical care (emergency medicine).
• Unlike emergency medicine, general medicine is a well-developed branch whereas emergency medicine is still in its very beginning in India. 
• Other specialties such as anesthesia, pulmonary medicine, several diploma courses from unrecognized institutes such as Medvarsity, ISCCM Courses, Master in Emergency Medicine (MEM), etc. compete for emergency physicians posts.
• Most of the critical care HODs are MD general medicine and DM critical care or FNB critical care.

The only reason to join MD emergency medicine is if you want to practice emergency medicine without dedicating extra time after MD.

If you don’t have any personal preference, choosing MD Gynae at AIIMS Delhi will be better. OBG has good facilities. AIIMS Delhi has excellent monitoring facilities and nursing backup. It witnesses many high-risk pregnancy cases. The department offers services such as minimally invasive surgery, preventive & operative oncology, and general gynecology. 

Other than the traditional academics, the department organizes various CMEs, live workshops, and seminars in all fields. OBG-AIIMS is associated with programs such as WHI (Women’s health initiative) program, HRCC (High-Risk Reproduction Centre), and WHO center for research in Reproduction. 

All of these AIIMS are on equal levels with one another. Infrastructure, faculty, and facilities are remarkably similar, so don't undercut any of them. So, excluding these, make your decision based on personal factors.
