Ans: Hi,If you have the opportunity to pursue an MD in Pharmacology, I highly recommend that you do so without hesitation. There are numerous opportunities for pharmacologists in the pharmaceutical industry. These companies are required to conduct clinical studies before marketing their drugs, making a background in pharmacology highly valuable. Therefore, pursuing an MD in Pharmacology can be a great decision for your career.

Ans: Hi Ayesha,

I have a few questions for you:

1. Are you a citizen of India?
2. Is the exam you mentioned the licensure exam? If so:
- Why do you want to take it in Pakistan?
- Why did you not complete the licensure exam in India?
- Are you planning to settle in Pakistan?

If the answer to the first question is yes, then taking the licensure exam in Pakistan raises some concerns. I suggest it would be better for you to complete your FMGE in India and then move to Pakistan.

Ans: Hi Manoj,

Greetings! I wanted to discuss why she is planning to pursue medicine in the UK. A bachelor's degree in medicine is a foundational course, so I suggest she complete her MBBS in India first. For her postgraduate studies, she can reconsider studying abroad. Additionally, if she wants to work in the UK after completing her course, she will need to take the exit or licensure exam. Therefore, it may be better for her to finish her medical education in India. This is just my suggestion.

Ans: Hi Nageswari,

I hope this message finds you well.

I wanted to inquire whether he has completed the FMGE in India. Without passing this exam, pursuing opportunities abroad may not be advisable. It is important for him to at least attempt the licensure exam and pass it. Without this qualification, seeking higher education will not be appropriate.

Additionally, I want to emphasize that completing a Master of Public Health (MPH) after studying medicine is often viewed as a step to gain entry into the U.S. healthcare system; however, it may not be as beneficial if he has not completed the licensure exam. If he intends to pursue higher education in medicine, he needs to finish the licensure exam in order to practice medicine effectively.

Therefore, it’s crucial that he focuses on completing the FMGE exam in India first

Ans: Hi, Being a retest candidate is considered a second attempt in +2. I think the medical council will not allow admission to medicine. Instead, you can consider B.Pharm / Pharm D.

To join, the following are the requirements:

For pharm D: Minimum qualification for admission to. – a) Pharm.D. Part-I Course – A pass in any of the following examinations - (1) 10+2 examination with Physics and Chemistry as compulsory subjects along with one of the following subjects: Mathematics or Biology. (2) A pass in D.Pharm course from an institution approved by the Pharmacy Council of India under section 12 of the Pharmacy Act. (3) Any other qualification approved by the Pharmacy Council of India as equivalent to any of the above examinations. Provided that a student should complete the age of 17 years on or before 31st December of the year of admission to the course.

FOR B.PHARM:
Minimum qualification for admission to – A. First year B. Pharm – A pass in any of the following examinations - i. Candidate shall have passed 10+2 examination conducted by the respective state/central government authorities recognized as equivalent to 10+2 examination by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) with English as one of the subjects and Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology as optional subjects individually. “However, the students possessing 10+2 qualification from non-formal and non-class rooms based schooling such as National Institute of Open Schooling, open school systems of States etc. shall not be eligible for admission to B.Pharm Course.” ii. Any other qualification approved by the Pharmacy Council of India as equivalent to any of the above examinations. Provided that a student should complete the age of 17 years on or before 31st December of the year of admission to the course. Provided that there shall be reservation of seats for the students belonging to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other Backward Classes in accordance with the instructions issued by the Central Government/State Government/Union Territory Administration as the case may be from time to time.

Ans: Hi,

I have some doubts regarding your query. Based on the information available, candidates who have completed their +2 from NIOS are eligible to write NEET (as allowed in 2024). However, your situation is different because you have completed +2 in Commerce through WBB and now wish to complete +2 in PCB through NIOS.

Since you have already completed +2 in Commerce, joining +2 in PCB would be considered a second attempt. Given that this is a second attempt in education, I believe the medical council may not allow you to gain admission to a medical program.

Ans: As you are aware, this time the NEET score reached the highest ever. As you are aware, this time the NEET score has reached its highest ever. Currently, AIR 2.3 lakh has secured admission in deemed/paid seats quota. Please follow the website to keep yourself updated.

Ans: As you are aware, this time the NEET score reached the highest ever. It is a bit difficult for a score of 640, and in the stray round, it has gone up to rank 25k+. We hope for the best.

Ans: It is a little difficult for medicine, but we can check with dental. Let's hope for the best.

Ans: Hi Doctor,

I hope this message finds you well.

Have you considered practicing tantra in India and exploring that option further?

Regarding a career in Australia:

**Academics:** There are several academic institutions offering courses in Ayurveda and yoga.

**Regulator:** You may want to contact the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which serves as the regulatory body in Australia under the Department of Health.
(TGA: Australia's government authority responsible for evaluating, assessing and monitoring products that are defined as therapeutic goods. TGA regulate medicines, medical devices and biologicals to help Australians stay healthy and safe).
**Practicing:** Before you start practicing, make sure to check the regulations to ensure compliance.

Ans: Hi,

I think you have goals to move to the USA and settle there. Many graduates from fields like dentistry, pharmacy, or public health pursue opportunities in the USA. After completing their studies, they can find jobs related to public health or continue in their core subjects.

However, I don’t understand why you are choosing to study public health after becoming a doctor in Ayurveda. I feel it may be a waste of time and money. Moreover, the Indian medicine system is not practiced in the US, which is probably why it has not been included in the SHOPHAS (this is my understanding).

So, please plan accordingly.

Ans: Hi Joy,

Congratulations on choosing BAMS as your career path!

Since the pandemic, many candidates have been increasingly drawn to the Indian system of medicine. It's important for her to learn about VPK principles. Without a solid understanding of VPK principles, it can be challenging to practice effectively in this field. Additionally, many herbal and Ayurvedic drugs are not widely recognized; if she conducts research on these, she could truly excel in her career.

**Opportunities include:**

- **General Practice:** Positions in government hospitals and private clinics.
- **Regulatory Roles:** Working as a drug inspector for Indian medicines.
- **Industry Positions:** Opportunities as an entrepreneur or in herbal formulation industries and clinical trials.

To enter the AYUSH department or pharmaceutical companies, she should develop competency and knowledge of herbs as they relate to clinical trials and manufacturing.

She can also engage in research to develop new Ayurvedic formulations. If her formulation proves to be groundbreaking, there’s a possibility to apply for an award from the central government.

Encourage her to stay focused and committed to honing her skills and expertise in Ayurveda.

Ans: Hi Harmit,

It's great to hear that your son has completed his medicine course. Please convey my greetings to him! Since he has studied medicine abroad, he will need to pass the licensure exam in India (FMGE). After clearing this exam, he must undergo an internship. Once he finishes the internship, he will be eligible to pursue higher education, such as an MD or MS.

If he has passed the licensure exam, he can then appear for the PG NEET. However, if he has not yet passed or even taken the licensure exam, I suggest he refer to the USMLE case study books to help him prepare.

That's my recommendation.

Ans: Hi Sir,

I am glad to hear that she has completed her MSc in Microbiology. Could you let me know what type of project she worked on during her final year? Additionally, what skills has she acquired during her postgraduate studies? While eligibility might be determined by her percentage, it's important to note that skills play a significant role in the job market.

Did she complete an internship in the pharma industry? Nowadays, many candidates claim to have experience, but often lack competency in their subjects.

One essential aspect is preparing her resume. She should highlight her skills, any internships she has completed, and the projects she worked on during her postgraduate program.

Industries are currently facing various challenges due to human resource issues, making them cautious in selecting candidates for specific roles.

I also recommend that she consider an internship at Biocon for six months. They have an academy focused on biotech-related training, and completing this prograHi Sir,

1. Academic positions.
2. Forest Range Officer.
3. Research Associate roles at organizations such as the Botanical Survey of India, National Research Centre on Plant Biotechnology, Department of Forests and Wildlife, Wildlife Institute of India, and National Research Centre for Agroforestry.

Ans: Hi,
You have scored more than 50%. Now, identify the areas where you missed points and, specifically, which subjects need your attention. Since you are going to repeat the exam, it's helpful to focus on the topics you struggle with. I have interacted with some of my students who were not eligible for NEET, and they overlooked a few fundamental concepts. Be strong in these areas, as many of the questions are from NCERT books. Prepare accordingly, and I'm confident you can score more than 700. Give it your best effort!
All the best!

Ans: Hi Reshma,

What exactly do you need from my side?

As you know, both fields are different and each requires practice to gain expertise. BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) is an undergraduate program in dentistry, while PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy) is considered a postgraduate course. After completing a PharmD, one must consider pursuing a doctorate program, and there are currently no specializations available in India. However, abroad, you can claim expertise in a specific department.

On the other hand, after completing BDS, you can pursue a specialization at the postgraduate level and also have the opportunity to open your own clinic.
I have highlighted the most important factors. I believe this information may be sufficient for you to decide the course. If not, please send your query to the Rediff platform.

Ans: You've enrolled in the course and started paying tuition fees, so try not to regret it. Focus on how you can make the most of this investment. While doing your internship, consider looking for part-time jobs at hospitals or exploring remote work opportunities for physicians. Take the time to explore various possibilities. Best of luck!

Ans: Hi Meghana,

No, I don't think you should regret your decision.

Here are the reasons:

1. Right now, it’s relatively easy to secure a job in the government sector.

2. Government positions for Ayurvedic and Siddha doctors are now considered equivalent to drug inspectors, and this can be achieved without having to take exams, which is not the case for Allopathy practitioners.

3. Upon completing your course, besides clinical practice, you also have opportunities in the industry. There is a demand for Ayurvedic and Siddha doctors to start their own pharmaceutical companies.

Ans: Hi Preeti,

As you know, the NEET score alone is not sufficient to predict admission to a medicine course. Even if you have details like your score, rank, and caste, making accurate predictions can still be challenging. Please share the relevant details regarding your admission to the medicine course so that we can make a better assessment.
ALL THE BEST.
Thank you!

Ans: Hi Lalisa,

Congratulations on your interest in pursuing a career in army aviation! However, I’m curious why you chose to study B.Pharm. Instead of B.Pharm, you might have considered attending the Army Academy (NDA). If you had done that, you would have already graduated and could have advanced further by now.

Nonetheless, there is still an opportunity for you to pursue aviation. Here are the details:

To become an Army Aviation Officer, you must meet the following eligibility criteria:

- **Nationality:** You must be a citizen of India.
- **Education:** You need a minimum of a three-year degree from a recognized university with at least 60% marks or equivalent. (Graduation with minimum three years degree course in any discipline from a recognised University with a minimum of 60% marks or equivalent. BE/B Tech degree (Four years course) from a recognised University with a minimum of 60% marks or equivalent.)
- **Age Requirements:** The age requirements vary based on the entry scheme, but generally, applicants should be between 19 and 27 years old.
- **Pilot Aptitude Battery Test (PABT):** You must pass the PABT.
- **Indian Military Academy:** You can join the corps directly after graduating from the Indian Military Academy.

After commissioning, there will be a two-year attachment with a fallback arm.

Best wishes!

Ans: Hello Sir,

He is currently facing two main issues: overload and stress, along with challenges related to self-discipline.

**Overload and Stress**: It’s important not to avoid the situation. He needs to address these issues calmly and work towards achieving his goals. The pressure many are experiencing post-COVID-19 is widespread, and he may encounter similar challenges wherever he goes.

Despite the overload and stress, he should remain focused. The solution to both problems lies in encouraging him to practice yoga.
While dealing with patients, encourage him to use his expertise so that more patients will approach him, making his experience enjoyable rather than stressful.
I'm confident he has the talent needed to succeed; he just needs to leverage it effectively.

Best regards.

Ans: Hi,

There are possibilities ahead. Don't worry.

Ans: HI, I suggest that pursuing an MD in India might be a better option. Postgraduate (PG) studies are important compared to undergraduate (UG) studies because you need to specialize in your chosen field. In India, you'll gain a lot of exposure due to the large patient population.
In the Philippines, there is no stipend provided, so you'll have to cover your living expenses for accommodation and food in addition to tuition fees.

Ans: Hi, I noticed you have provided your NEET score, but you didn't mention any other details. Based on your score, I assume you are interested in pursuing a career in medicine rather than dentistry. Have you analyzed why you scored average in NEET? Which subjects do you need to improve in to clear NEET? Do you think it's possible to achieve a better score if you take the exam for the fourth time? I suggest you analyze this and discuss it with your dad to see if you can come to a decision.

Additionally, your dad mentioned that you can also consider taking the civil service exam. However, this exam can only be taken after completing your degree. You need to decide on the right degree course that will prepare you for the civil service exam, so you don't have to prepare for fresh later.

all the best.

Ans: Hi,

I would like to know which year you completed your PG and how many years of experience you have after completing it. You mentioned that you are currently working in the clinical research field. Kindly provide details about your role in this field before I comment.

I also want to clarify that in a PhD program, there are no specializations or subjects. Instead, you have to select a research topic. It would be beneficial to choose a topic relevant to your job. Is it possible to select subjects (volunteers or patients) while working?

MY SUGGESTION: If you want to pursue a PhD, consider doing it part-time instead of full-time. You can also enhance your skills in the field you are working in by performing trial-and-error methods.

ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Hi Rafique,
It is possible to get admission to a government medical college. Just follow the website for further details.

ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Regarding NEET: Proceed as per Dad's instructions.

Regarding Coaching: Not an issue. Since you have prior experience with coaching, and you are retaking the NEET, you should be familiar with the question paper pattern. Identify the subjects where you scored less or feel weak and work on them. You will surely achieve high marks and secure admission in one of the best institutions.

All the best!

Ans: Hi,

Your concern is about the stability of your job, despite having expertise and skills. You are facing challenges due to GST and Ethics in Business.

I want to commend you for maintaining ethical business practices for the past two decades. Taxation is a common aspect of business, practiced worldwide, including in developed countries. Although some countries may have exceptions, it's important to note that in India, we have transitioned from various taxation systems to GST from VAT. Compared to VAT, GST offers numerous advantages for consumers and business people involved in procurement, manufacturing, and sales. One of the main benefits is transparency in business operations, allowing for comprehensive tracking from start to finish. Due to this enhanced transparency, illegal vendors are facing difficulties with GST.

Therefore, I advise you not to worry about GST in your business. Instead, focus on collecting and sharing information related to your business with your management. If the management does not listen or is not convinced by your expertise and ideas, I suggest considering leaving the organization. With your skills and expertise, you can explore opportunities in other organizations or even start your own business. Additionally, the current central government is supporting entrepreneurship by providing financial assistance for startups.

So, do not worry and proceed confidently.

Ans: Hey, if you're thinking about becoming a teacher, I recommend going for a traditional in-person course instead of an online or distance learning program. You'll learn better in a regular class setting compared to online courses. So, I suggest pursuing your postgraduate studies through a traditional program

Ans: Hi,
Good afternoon.
My suggestion is to pursue an MBBS degree.

Ans: To get updates, follow the Veterinary Council of India. According to the second round, the following top-ranked individuals (ranked number 26905 - 125066 for BC) have secured seats for this year.

Ans: Yes, as you mentioned, NEXT is applicable for the 2024 batch. Government colleges usually do not participate in rankings due to various reasons. They do not need to provide any data to be ranked, so it would be a waste of time. Even though the institution is government-owned, they still have to follow the regulations set by the MCI. Therefore, you need not worry about his education. He will surely gain all sorts of experiences.

Ans: The degree is not the only factor in determining an employee's salary. Experience and field of work are also important. Your query is incomplete for commenting. Kindly excuse.

Ans: Hi Anugraha,
You have shared the details of marks with me but not the rank and category, making it very difficult to answer your query

Ans: When evaluating the best college, it should be based on specific council requirements such as the quality of faculty (not just the number of faculty members, but also their experiences), infrastructure (not limited to buildings alone), outreach programs (not just participation, but actual impact), and hands-on training (including bedside teaching). Most importantly, the treatment of faculty members reflects the importance of the respective programs. Therefore, one should judge a college based on these factors rather than simply looking at its ranking.

Now, select some colleges based on rankings (government or private) and match them with the above to choose a college.

Ans: HI PARI,
I suggest considering studying medicine in India instead of going abroad. The reason is NEET. Because of NEET, you have options. If you wish to pursue medicine in foreign countries, you need to appear for NEET and meet the eligibility criteria. Although the basic medical education is the same, the medical council insists on completing the licensure exam in India. Nowadays, even Indian medical students need to meet these eligibility criteria. If you want to pursue medical education in foreign countries, you need to go through agents, which can lead to a lot of issues. It's better to complete the basic medical course in India and pursue your postgraduate studies abroad.

Now that you are familiar with NEET from your first attempt, don't worry about the past. Prepare confidently for your second attempt and appear for NEET with strong preparation.
ALL THE BEST.

Ans: Hi Karthi,

Your query is incomplete. Are you asking about treatment or pursuing education? If it's about pursuing education, is it for undergraduate (UG) or postgraduate (PG) studies?

For undergraduate studies, you can obtain a degree from any medical college. However, the degree will be awarded by RGHUS and not by BMC, MyMC, or MnMC. Since your question is unclear, I'm unable to provide a complete answer. Please provide more details. Thank you.

Ans: Hi Pralhad,
Your question is incomplete. Since it is incomplete, I am unable to provide a response.

Ans: Don't worry about campus placement. Even though your daughter wasn't selected through the campus, there are still opportunities available, but she may need to relocate. I would advise her to prepare a strong resume before applying to any organizations. Encourage her to seek a job related to her core skills. It's important for her to gain exposure in her field so she can access better opportunities in near future.

Ans: Hi,
Greetings.
I believe the United States is a better option for studying medicine due to the significant advancements in the field. There are also opportunities to secure scholarships. You can explore this by visiting the websites of renowned universities that offer medical courses and reaching out to professors associated with these institutions.

Ans: Hi, I suggest that you specialize in botany by completing a Master's degree and then proceed to biotechnology while pursuing your doctorate. This will help you in your personal and professional growth.

Ans: Hello, there are two websites available for the Bihar Pharmacy Council:
https://biharpharmacycouncil.in/
