Yes, why not? I know that it's obvious sometimes to think like that as everybody has gone through some comparisons during their admits in specific colleges. But at the same time we all know that one has to strive hard even for a single mark as the cut off gets closed when you lose that one mark. But then, all the students who have been struggling along the way to Crack CET, and couldn't get an admit from GMC, just because they lagged behind by few marks and took exams such as PMT or separate CETs, are not by any means less in caliber.

It's just a perception or rather a stereotypical thinking regarding students who are unable to make up to the GMCs and get admits from private medical colleges. They are merit holders too. It does not make any difference. As long as you know your potential and you know that you have been striving hard to gain knowledge and skill too but things didn't work the way you wanted so basically, it doesn't matter! No patient is going to ask you about your schooling. You are ultimately going to be tested for your knowledge and the skill. A good doctor can be produced from any school. Many private colleges have enough beds and great facilities that some government medical colleges in the same region are unable to provide.

Fee structure is comparatively high, but facilities for students such as huge libraries, good staff, and you also have enough number of patients to help you build up your clinical side strongly. Moreover, you get to refer all the books which any government medical college student prefers reading. May it be a GMC or a private college, it solely depends on the person. If he/she is willing to learn and explore things around, utilize the time and make an effort to do the best, I don't think any such comparison should affect or stop them from becoming a good doctor
