i have around 7.5k rank should i choose kcgmc or pgims because kcgmc is in my hometown
With a rank around 7500, you may have a chance to get both PGIMS Rohtak and KCGMC Karnal depending on your category, state quota, and counselling round.
PGIMS Rohtak is considered one of the top government medical colleges in Haryana. It has better hospital infrastructure, experienced faculty, patient load, and academic exposure. It also offers more PG opportunities within the same campus after MBBS. However, competition is tougher and the environment is more intense.
KCGMC Karnal is a newer college but still government-run and developing steadily. Since it is in your hometown, you will save on hostel, travel, and living costs. Also, emotional comfort and family support may help you during stressful MBBS years. KCGMC has decent academics and clinical exposure, especially in later years.
So if you want the best medical exposure and don’t mind relocating, PGIMS is a better academic choice.
But if you prefer staying near family, comfort, and saving expenses, KCGMC is a very good option too.
Final tip: If you get PGIMS in Round 1, you can take it and try for upgradation in later rounds or choose to freeze it. But both colleges will give you a solid MBBS experience.
