Himanshu Bansal's Review On All India Institute Of Medical Sciences - [AIIMS], Jodhpur

I took AIIMS entrance exam for premedical. I score around 68% in that exam. All India rank was 258. AIIMS is an apex institute for medical education so there were no need to think any other options.

The course is very much satisfying. Our institute have its own curriculum and own strategy for teaching. For research purposes we were told about many research programs like STS by ICMR, and our college also have a internal research program for students who are interested in research. Our teachers are very much supportive for research.

Yes, internship is mandatory in our college. Right now I m doing internship from our college. Our 1 year is totally scheduled for internship. Stipend is around 18000, and for skill development it is very much necessary.

We are medical student, there is much need of doctors in our country in present scenario. After MBBS we have to clear a post graduation entrance exam for post graduation. Students who will not be able to clear this exam can also join our hospital as junior resident.

Every year we celebrate our annual day. On that day many cultural activities are done. Prize distribution ceremony is also organised where medal of appreciation was given. We also organise one sports fest and one culture fest named TEJAS and ASTERION respectively. Both are intra college fest where interbatch competition is organised for various activities.

It is a govt college, fees is only 5000 rs. Which was taken in the starting of our college days. No other colleges fees is given. Hostels are free. Mess charges are 36000 per year, which include breakfast, lunch, evening snacks and dinner. There is no sports charges.

Scholarship is provided only for the students who are doing any research project in the guidance of our teachers. No other scholarship programme.

Campus life is satisfying. We have students from two courses. One is from medical and second from nursing. In MBBS batch there are 100 students and in nursing batch 60. Only girls are taken here in nursing course. So gender ratio increases. Total no. Of girls are more than boys. Student from different state, cast, religion are present here. Everyone celebrate their special festivals.

Hostel is very good. We have 10×10 feet room per person. There is no sharing of rooms. Initial 4 years bathrooms and toilets was common. But now from last 1 year we have our separate room and attached bathrooms. Food quality is not up to the mark. But I m satisfied from our food after comparing it from other govt medical college.

I am from the first batch of AIIMS Jodhpur. So as such we don't have any senior. Here we have our teachers to guide us as a senior. Teachers are very much friendly with us.

Education system is very much structured and strict. We have to go daily in hospital and college both. Generally our timings are from 8am to 4pm. But it can also extend depend on topic and teachers. Every 6 month we have to give a semester exam. That is counted as internal, after that every one year an another exam is also conducted which is count as external examination. Total marks are calculated by combining 50% internal and 50% external marks

Our counselling was done in Delhi. We were thoroughly told about the admission process. Our documents were kept there and fees was deposited. They gave the date for coming into Jodhpur for admission. And finally we came to the college accordingly. Here our administrative department told us about any extra formalities. And we were oriented for 2-3 days about our course.

Majority of the faculties are very good and skilled in their work. They had to clear an interview by the doctors of ministry and health welfare before coming in AIIMS Jodhpur. Most of the teachers are student friendly and have different innovative way of teaching.
