You need to take into account B.Y.L. Nair Ch. Hospital & Topiwala National Medical college, Mumbai! It has almost joined shoulders with the KEM hospital. It has inaugrated its new hospital wing, boasts of 4 depts with ISO:9001 Certification including ICCU, Psychiatry dept, plus it has a capacity of almost 1700 beds today,
look at the ambience too, the campus! The psychiatry & forensic department are one of the finest in the whole country! Pls do consider its achievement… Thanks

Hi! Im sorry but it seems you haven’t considered other two medical colleges from mumbai. One as mentioned by dr kirti, Topiwala Nair Medical College and the other one which is always overflowing wit patients and extreme heavy workload ie Medical College At Sion, Mumbai. JIPMER’s lost respect among students from our country when hopeless postgraduate students were caught helping students durin AIPG before few years. It shows the quality of that college and students. Let it be. But please do consider all facts while listing the institutes. Thanks.

Hey and one more thing. Kindly consider fees that institutes ask for while puttin on lists. Its because medical institutes like MANIPAL ask for too much fees for various courses. I’ve heard they ask for around 5lak to 6lak per year and then also think its too cheap! Whats the use of such institutes where they want only riche rich people? Or other words they are selling studies at cheaper(?) rates. :). Rather this is true about all medical colleges from karnataka. I dont have personal fight wit that states but the fact. Maybe im unaware of other institutes asking for so much money. No hard feelings. Anyways. You’ve done nice work about getting lists of institutes.

Where is Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi. It is definitely above KGMC, Manipal and all your list below Manipal. It is definitely in top 5, may be the second or third best in India…and u do not even have it in your list? It is the first college to be picked up in All India CBSE PMT counselling.

Grant also……
The two doctors have not metioned it…it’s also in Mumbai bhai.. thodi to kadr kar lete…
I don’t know too much but eMedicine ranks it 3rd even before AIIMS… and yes, it is prestigious at least more than Manipal…
It’s alright… the comment doesn’t need any moderation…tumhe kya lagta hai?? Manipal wale mujhe maarenge???….
