Hey! Final year MBBS student here
I'll suggest to complete your degree beforehand Along with that you can prepare for UPSC too.
If you complete your degree
- UPSC criteria met
- You're prepared for 1 subject of UPSC exams
- You have option B
- No financial crises in future, if anything not went as planned (you can easily earn 1lac/ month as a doctor)
Just a advice for being tension free and happy years ahead
( Final call is yours, Do what will make you feel good? )

While GNM is a demanding program that requires a significant amount of time and effort, it is possible to manage both with proper time management and dedication.
