The latest NEET-PG counselling has revealed a strong preference among young doctors for non-surgical super-speciality courses such as General Medicine, Cardiology, and Neurology. Senior doctors highlight that surgical branches demand long hours, high stress, and delayed professional settlement, while MD courses offer quicker independence and stability.
Top-ranking NEET-PG students are increasingly opting for non-surgical super-specialties such as General Medicine, Cardiology and Neurology. Senior doctors say demanding hours, burnout, delayed career stability and medico-legal pressures are pushing young doctors away from surgical branches.
The Health Ministry further said, "It has accordingly been decided, as a precautionary measure to postpone the NEET-PG Entrance Examination, scheduled to be held tomorrow i.e. 23rd June 2024", adding that the fresh date of this examination will be notified at the earliest.
