Is it worth choosing AIIMS, Raipur over Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College, Raipur for an MBBS?

I would personally recommend you choose AIIMS Raipur over Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Medical College. Although there are many reasons that have gotten me to this conclusion, I will list down the core reasons that will help you make up your mind. 

Pros-

• AIIMS Raipur is a central institute that lays more emphasis on quality education.

• You don’t have to sign any bonds

• You get to meet a better crowd. This is because AIIMS Raipur constitutes the cream of medical students. Whereas in Pt. JNM, people who are not selected in other colleges usually get admitted.

• The infrastructure is equally good in both colleges. But the hostel facilities are horrible in Pt. JNM.

• The DKR super specialty hospital is the pride of AIIMS Raipur.

• AIIMS Raipur is house to a full-fledged sickle cell research institute

• AIIMS Raipur also has an advanced Cardiac Institute and a new regional cancer center building

Cons-

• The patient load at Pt.JNM is comparatively less than that at AIIMS Raipur This helps you protect your quality over quantity agenda. This is also a must needed skill for every doctor.

• Pt. JNM has an extensive aluminum base whereas AIIMS Raipur lacks in this aspect.

• The faculty at AIIMS Raipur is understaffed. Whereas at Pt.JNM the faculty is experienced and also satisfies the MCI criteria.

I hope the points helped you reach a decision.
