In the ever-evolving landscape of medical education, the journey to specialisation is a rigorous one. For thousands of MBBS graduates across the country, securing a seat in a postgraduate medical program such as MD (Doctor of Medicine) or MS (Master of Surgery) is a dream nurtured through years of dedication. MD/MS Admission in India has become increasingly competitive due to limited seats, changing admission policies, and the intricacies of entrance examinations. Amidst this complexity, Edusquare Consulting has emerged as a trusted name, guiding aspiring doctors through the intricate maze of postgraduate medical admissions.

Tips for Aspirants: How to Maximise Your Chances

1. Start Early

Begin planning your post-MBBS journey during your internship year: research specialisations, institutions, and counselling processes.

2. Take Multiple Mocks

Regular mock tests and analysis will help predict your NEET-PG performance and rank range.

3. Be Flexible

While everyone dreams of Radiology or Dermatology, consider alternate branches based on your score, interest, and market demand.

4. Understand the Counselling Process

Make informed choices. Avoid common mistakes like unrealistic preference filling, ignoring state quotas, or missing deadlines.

5. Seek Expert Guidance

Don’t hesitate to reach out to professional consultants like Edusquare. A small investment in counselling can save you from losing an entire academic year.

Challenges in MD/MS Admission in India

The dream of pursuing a postgraduate medical degree in India comes with its share of hurdles:

1. Intense Competition

Over 2 lakh aspirants compete for approximately 50,000 seats every year.
High cutoff scores for top branches and institutions.
A single mark can lead to significant changes in rank.

2. Limited Seats for Preferred Specialisations

Popular branches like Radiology, Dermatology, and General Medicine have fewer seats.
Demand-supply mismatch leads to inflated merit requirements and higher donations in some private institutions.

3. Complex Counselling Process

Central vs. state counselling.
Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up, and Stray Vacancy rounds.
Bond conditions, rural postings, and state domicile issues complicate decision-making.

4. High Cost in Private Institutions

Deemed universities may charge anywhere between ₹30 lakh to ₹1 crore, depending on the specialisation.
Financial planning becomes crucial.

This is where expert help becomes essential. And that's where Edusquare Consulting steps in.
