- Eligibility for the MD course is restricted to those holding the M. B. S. degree. The certification must be from a university that is acknowledged by the Medical Council of India. - Percentage criteria may vary from institute to institute. Training is attained in medical disciplines which are non-surgical in nature such as Internal Medicine, Radiology, and Pathology etc. Rank obtained in an entrance examination forms the basis for admission. - Some institutions may conduct a personal interview of the candidate.

Hi Shruti, Korean medical schools are known to be extremely tough to get into and are very rigorous. In order to begin your admission quest please visit some reputed university websites in addition to SNU and understand their admission requirements, intakes, fees, the language of instruction and so on. I will advise you to keep options open and apply to more than one university. In case of SNU, the online application process generally starts in January to Feb and the course will most likely commence from September. International applicants must give additional entrance test. A Korean Proficiency test must also be taken. Please check their website for more information.

Hi Pooja, Some of the best universities in Australia for pursuing medical sciences are University of Melbourne, Monash University, University of Sydney, The Australian National University Medical School (ANUMS), University of Adelaide, and University of Queensland among others. Admissions to undergraduate medical programs are done through UMAT - Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test. Overall, a higher first class is preferred, medical programs are highly competitive. Gaps are not something that is favoured by Australian universities but a good profile will make a difference. Please check with the universities directly regarding the admission requirements.

Well, I think I can answer your question since I too faced the same scenario years before.I'll try to keep it short and simple.
Image of a Doctor: You can do a lot of social welfare work. You are kind of god wherever you live. You will be in the good book of many people. Respect will follow you everyday everywhere. There is no doubt about it.
Image of an engineer: You will not find respect, you will have to earn it by doing something worthy and extraordinary. You are just an individual. You may or may not get a chance to work directly for the welfare of the people. Chances are less. But let me tell you any social service is worthy of respect and honor. But the medical servants own a little more because they are people who save lives.
Personal life of a doctor: It is hectic, painful and stressful. Imagine yourself fighting death every day and saving lives and sometimes failing which takes a toll on you. It scrapes away your soul unless you are strong hearted. Hospital is not a fun place.You have to have a lot urge in you to become a doctor and must be willing to sacrifice your fun, pleasure many a time. As for the money, you will start earning at a later age and can keep earning until your old age. You have to be a lot more studious, diligent and hard working.
Personal life of an engineer: It is all fun & pleasure and doesn't have to be under a Damocles sword all the time. You know your negligence or failure won't be taking a life. Besides engineering life is very enjoyable. You can give time to your family.You will be capable of earning early of the age and can also earn at par with a doctor.
PS: I have written all these keeping in view you don't waste your life in either case and I have judged from a common platform.
Besides, you must understand yourself what you want and what you are willing to sacrifice whatever the cost.
