Hi Esha,
Most of the students think that once we enter a medical college, we just have to treat patients and don't have much dynamic career options like other professions. That is certainly not the case. MD/MS/Diploma - This is the most commonly chosen path after MBBS for people who wish to continue with their medical career.
You can pursue post graduation in various specialties like internal medicine, general surgery, obs. & gynecology, pediatrics, etc. For this you need to give AIPGMEE exam, held in December every year. There's no need to mention about the scope of this field as specialist Doctors are the need of the hour. MD/MS are

Traditionally, those who do not get admission in MBBS, go for BDS. But now a days, there is a huge scope for BDS if you can have your own clinic with modern equipment. Plain MBBS will not do unless you follow it up with MD/MS. If you compare salaries in hospitals, MBBS will always get higher remunerations compared to BDS. The thing that matters the most is college from where you pursue your medical program be it BDS or MBBS. Either go for any good govt college or private universities like Santosh University,
JIPMER ,Pondicherry etc. Good luck!

Hi Gunjan,
It has always been the policy of the Indian government to have more general physicians who can work in villages and not specialists. They want more foot soldiers and not more generals. Not only the number of PG seats is low, the subject wise distribution is very awkward. One state has more than 100 PG seats for anesthesia, other has less than 10 seats for Pediatrics. I do not know if there is any advance planning by MCI or Government about the number of specialists' requirement 3 years down the line. Same is the problem with post PG courses. Supply does match with the demand in society, production is insufficient , unbalanced

Hi Parul,
Surely MBBS, because quality of education of B.Tech is not even comparable with MBBS. There are lakhs of B.Tech seats available, but very limited number of MBBS seats. That explains everything , i assume. Better degree means which is more in demand. According demand supply theory whose quantity available is less is in more demand and vice versa.

Hi Parul,
Absolutely not. Reservation system is a curse, especially in higher education. The reservation should be based on family income only. This not only frustrates general people but also compromises the quality of education. This also causes division between students. Every logical person understands the side effects but there is nobody to tie the bell in the cat's neck!

Hi Parul,
It isn't costly, Medical, education in India, especially in govt colleges is well within the reach of the middle class. In fact, the annual fees of a govt college in Andhra Pradesh is ten thousand rupees only. And then there are "merit" seats in private colleges, for which students shell out 60k to 1.5 lakhs. The expensive seats are those that are sold by private colleges under management quota. They charge donations of half a crore rupees besides the annual fee.

Hi Gunjan,
Getting admission in a good medical or engineering college is a big cause of worry for students while parents get a heart attack looking at the hefty capitation fees. With pressure of 12th standard marks and the money involved, the whole process is quite intimidating for the students. In Indore, the price of an MBBS seat ranges from Rs 30 lakh and 35 lakh while a PG seat stands between Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore. The most preferred branches are radiology, orthopedics, dermatology, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology.
