Which is the best course after MBBS without a PG entrance?
The best course a medical graduate can pursue after MBBS without a PG entrance is FELLOWSHIP. The MBBS graduates have a variety of career options in different clinical as well as non-clinical specializations where a medical PG entrance exam is not required. In the post-pandemic era, healthcare is one of the fastest-growing industries, it will require a workforce with different skill sets other than doctors.
Usually, graduates opt for the medical pg entrance exam after completing MBBS to secure their admission into MD/ MS/ DNB/ Diploma courses in different postgraduate specializations, but NOT everyone is getting a pg seat, the limited availability of seats is making it difficult for everyone to follow the traditional path. If you are not interested in following this path then there are different fellowships which give you opportunities in clinical practice without giving an entrance exam.
