MBBS is one of the top career choices in India. Students from different economic backgrounds aim to become doctors, and take science as their subject in the 12th class. Preparing for MBBS itself is a rigorous process. Getting into medical college in India is not easy for any of the students preparing for it. In India, the exam is undertaken by the aspirants for securing admission in medical colleges. The students are required to have studied science with Physics, Chemistry and Biology in the 12th class. NEET is considered one of the toughest exams to crack in India. But students willingly take the exam, and also prepare rigorously for the exam. The main issue, however, has been the admission in the medical colleges. Even with the NEET qualification, one may not get into their preferred medical college and this really creates difficulty for the students. Similarly, the high cost of pursuing MBBS, which spans over 5 years, and costs lakhs of rupees, cannot be afforded by everyone. Therefore, the students in search of quality education opt for MBBS abroad. For these students, Russia becomes one of the top destinations for pursuing MBBS abroad.
However, there are students who often join MBBS due to peer pressure and there is obviously high risk of failures in the MBBS study as well as profession. A lot of people pursue preparation for a medical career after taking biology due to the lack of career options. However, that is not the reality at all. Apart from MBBS there are a plethora of courses related to medicine which are not MBBS, yet they are highly economic and also have good job options.
The issue with MBBS aspirants is that they never tend to look beyond being doctors, therefore there is always confusion and a lot of misconceptions, that really hinders the progress of the biology students.
1. Alternative Medicine:
Apart from MBBS, there are a plethora of courses related to medicine that one may explore. One may have heard about a lot of various types of medicinal studies like homeopathy, Unani, Ayurveda and more recently gaining popularity, fields like Naturopathy. The courses for these are as follows:
BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery)BUMS (Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery)BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathy and Surgery)BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yoga Sciences)
There are different durations for all of these courses and these options are available in India and abroad. In India, the course duration of BAMS is of 4.5 years whereas for BUMS, BHMS, BNYS is of 5.5 years each and NEET qualification is required. NEET qualification is mandatory if one wants to pursue a career in these fields. These courses have been in existence for a long time now and gaining popularity over the years. These are all interesting fields of study and practice in the domain of alternative medicine. There are government as well as private institutions for that with decent affordable fees and a good work environment. One should not worry about employment because this field is open for all. Similarly, for research and other related studies, there are good grants and funding for that.
