Are you confused about what to do after MBBS in India? With so many options, we don’t blame you. While some start practicing medicine right after their MBBS, others choose to specialize in a particular field.  \nIn a diverse field like medicine, it is crucial to choose the right specialization for a fulfilling career. You can pursue an MD/ MS degree, maybe even a diploma or DNB degree that can aid in your career growth. The course duration for MD/MS is three years. You can opt for a diploma if you want a shorter route, which will earn you a degree in just two years. DNB, on the other hand, takes three years to complete.  \nIt is important to note that one has to clear an entrance exam (like NEET PG) to be eligible to get a post-graduation (PG) medical seat.  \nIf you wish to practice as a Physician, chose MD that is generally considered to be a simple yet straightforward route by many in the Medical  \nCommunity. It will help you reach a wide range of patients.  \nMS, on the other hand, requires one to possess excellent physical and mental attributes as it requires both disciplines to work in harmony during practice. It is also not for the faint of heart.  \nApart from MD/ MS, you can also pursue diploma courses. Note that diploma courses don’t command the same recognition from medical institutions that MD/ MS and DNB degrees provide.  \nYou can also consider doing a DNB. Diplomat of National Board (DNB) is a program by the central government that offers PG courses on various  \nmedical specializations. However, very few actually get through the course as DNB exams are tough to crack.  \nIf you wish to pursue your higher education abroad, you will have to clear the respective entrance exams. If one chooses to pursue PG medical courses in the USA, he/ she will have to pass the USMLE exam. For the UK, it is PLAB, while Australia requires PG medicine aspirants to clear AMC.  \nWhile you make your decision, it is crucial to research the respective field and gather advice from first-hand sources before you commit. It is also vital that you choose an area that is in line with your passion and curiosity. This will prove to be satisfying in the long run.  \nMD (Master of Medicine)  \nClear Entrance Exams  \nGet selected in Counseling  \n3 Years Course  \n• MD Aerospace Medicine  \n• MD Anatomy  \n• MD Anesthesiology  \n• MD Biochemistry  \n• MD Biophysics  \n• MD Community Medicine  \n• MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy  \n• MD Emergency Medicine  \n• MD Family Medicine  \n• MD Forensic Medicine  \n• MD General Medicine  \n• MD Marine Medicine  \n• MD Medical Genetics  \n• MD Radiotherapy  \n• MD Respiratory Medicine  \n• MD Microbiology  \n• Nuclear Medicine  \n• MD Paediatrics  \n• MD Palliative Medicine  \n• MD Pathology  \n• MD Pharmacology  \n• MD Psychiatry  \n• MD Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation  \n• MD Physiology  \n• MD Sports Medicine  \n• MD Immuno-Hematology and Blood transfusion  \n• MD Infectious Diseases  \n• MD Tropical Medicine  \n• MD Hospital Administration  \n• MD Radio Diagnosis  \n• MD Health Administration  \n• MD Geriatrics  \n• MD Pulmonary Medicine  \nMS (Master of Surgery)  \n• MS ENT  \n• MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology  \n• MS Ophthalmology  \n• MS Orthopaedics  \n• MS General Surgery  \n• MS Traumatology & Surgery  \n• MS Otorhinolaryngology  \nFor MD, MS, MCh (6 years) & Post Graduate Diploma courses, the Qualifying Examination  \n• NEET PG/ NeXT (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test / National Exit Test) is the Single Eligibility Cum Entrance Examination for admission to MD/ MS/ PG Diploma Courses which will include the following:  \n1.
