My cousin from Kerala was in a similar dilemma and had to choose between Calicut and AIIMS Jodhpur. Eventually, she went for AIIMS Jodhpur and stated a few reasons that encouraged her to take this decision.

  • Despite being good, Kerala colleges cannot match the standard of AIIMS which in itself is a brand.
  • AIIMS are in the development phase which means that they are only going to get better while the Kerala colleges are old and have stagnant growth.
  • Being old, Kerala colleges lack the modern hostel and sports facilities that are available in the new AIIMS. 
  • The internship period in government colleges is challenging leaving no time for PG preparation while AIIMS has a relaxing internship period giving students enough time to study during the night and evening.

All in all, my cousin was impressed by the hostel facilities of AIIMS Jodhpur and loved the fact that she would be getting a single room with an attached balcony and bathroom!

Expert Answer

It all depends on your priorities. Both are elegant universities. One has been around for decades, while the other is newer but has been centrally funded and logistically developed.

AIIMS Advantages:

Good infrastructure, high-quality academics, and low fees. If you prefer a little privacy, single-room hostels are available. AIIMS exams and curriculum are up to date (taking students' wishes into consideration). You are not required to follow university-imposed rules and schedules (the director is in power, and students can easily approach him). It has a lot of funding and research opportunities. A clean and well-kept hospital, Better anti-ragging policies, no campus politics, and other such issues.

Calicut Medical College Advantages:

It has a well-known atmosphere (climate and language), homely food and delicacies, a little less loss in terms of academics, and campus politics if you like that sort of thing. CMC Calicut is more familiar to the general public than AIIMS Raipur. Cultural festivals such as Onam, Diwali, Eid, and Christmas are far more organized.
