Hello Sir - I cleared my MBBS this year. What are the possibilities of pursuing higher studies and also professional career in Australia? What are the exams and qualifiers to be cleared ? Request your answer please and thanks a lot in advance.
Ans: Hello Sanjay,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. Congratulations on passing your MBBS exam! It is undoubtedly possible for you to pursue advanced studies and a professional career in Australia. Australia has a developed healthcare system and excellent employment prospects for medical professionals.

To practise medicine in Australia, international medical graduates must normally complete a sequence of steps, which include the following:

1. English Language Competency: A language test in English, such as the Occupational English Test (OET) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), is required to prove your ability in the language.

2. Register with the Medical Council: Depending on the state or territory you plan to practise in, you must submit an application for registration with either the Australian Medical Council (AMC) or the Medical Board of Australia (MBA). You must submit your credentials and finish the relevant documentation as part of the registration procedure.

3. Competency Evaluation: To make sure your credentials fit Australian standards, you'll probably need to go through a competency exam as an international medical graduate. The AMC typically administers the assessment, which entails assessing your clinical and medical expertise. Both a written and a clinical exam could be a part of this.

4. Career Placement Opportunities: You can begin looking for employment opportunities in Australia as soon as you have received the required registration and evaluation. There are many options to choose, including public hospitals, private practises, or research institutions. Finding suitable opportunities can also be facilitated by networking with and establishing connections with Australian medical experts.

In terms of advanced education, Australia provides a variety of postgraduate medical programs and specializations. Master's degrees, doctoral programs, and training programs for different medical specialties are a few examples. Universities and hospitals in Australia both provide these programs.

It's vital to keep in mind that precise guidelines and procedures may change depending on the Australian state or territory you intend to practise in. For the most recent and correct information on registration and additional education, it is best to get in touch with the appropriate medical authorities or professional organizations in Australia, including the AMC or the MBA. Wishing you success in all of your future endeavours in Australia!

Dating, Relationships Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi
Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

IIT-JEE, NEET-UG, SAT, CLAT, CA, CS Exam Expert - Answered on Dec 04, 2025

My son will be appearing for JEE Main & JEE Advanced 2026 and will participate in JoSAA Counselling 2026. I request clarification regarding the GEN-EWS certificate date requirement for next year. I have already applied for an EWS certificate for current year 2025, and the application is under process. However, I am unsure whether this certificate will be accepted during JoSAA 2026, or whether candidates will be required to submit a fresh certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued on or after 1 April 2026). My concern is that if JoSAA requires a certificate issued after 1 April 2026, students will have only 1–1.5 months to complete the entire procedure, which is difficult considering normal government processing timelines. Also, during current JEE form filling, students are asked to upload a GEN-EWS certificate issued on or after 1 April 2025, or an application acknowledgement. This has created confusion among parents regarding which year’s certificate will finally be valid at the time of counselling. I request your kind guidance on: Which GEN-EWS certificate will be accepted for JoSAA Counselling 2026 — a certificate for FY 2025–26 (issued after 1 April 2025), or a new certificate for FY 2026–27 (issued after 1 April 2026)?
Ans: Hi
You need not worry about the EWS certificate. Even if you apply for the next year's certificate on 1 Apr 2026, the second session of JEE MAINS will still be held, followed by JEE ADVANCED, which will be held in May. JOSAA starts in June. so you will have 2 months in hand for fresh EWS certificate.
