LAGNA Question by LAGNA on Nov 28, 2024
Career

Sir I am preparing for mbbs, but I'm not able to crack that. I'm a middle class student. Can I pursue mbbs in abroad under 8 lakhs in a best college for mbbs?After that can I able to be a doctor in India?

Ans: Hi Lagna,

It seems you haven’t provided the details clearly on this platform. If you could share more information, I’m sure you will receive helpful input.

Based on your message, I understand that you are considering pursuing a career in medicine. If you intend to enroll in a medical program either in India or abroad and plan to practice in India after completion, here are some important guidelines according to the National Medical Commission (NMC):

You must appear for the NEET exam, as it is a mandatory requirement for anyone wishing to pursue graduate medical education in India or elsewhere while intending to return and practice in India. According to the NMC eligibility criteria: “No student shall be eligible to pursue graduate medical education either in India or elsewhere (if they want to return and practice in India), except by scoring the minimum eligible score at the NEET UG exam. The UGMEB will announce the list of eligible students periodically.”

Therefore, I recommend preparing for the NEET exam and trying to secure admission in India itself. If you choose to pursue medical education abroad, you can still practice in India, but you will need to pass exit exams as well.

Regarding your question about pursuing MBBS abroad for under 8 lakhs, are you asking if this is per year or for the entire course? Studying abroad at that cost per year is possible. However, when you take into account the total expenses, which include course fees, accommodation, food, travel, visa, and other costs, it might be more feasible to complete your MBBS in India.

I hope this clarifies your queries!

Hello! Read your article of studying MBBS abroad. One question - after completing MBBS abroad, how can a student enter the Indian Market to do practising, is there any exam to appear, if so, the passing marks and in which hospitals the student can practice (Government or Private). Second Question: For studying Post - Graduation, will the abroad degree of MBBS will work for the entrance test for PG or any other option to take admission for PG? Thanking you Regards, Madhuri Shinde
Ans: Hello Madhuri.
First of all, thank you for reading the article so quickly and showing your faith in rediffGuru.
Here is the point-wise reply to your queries:
(1) To practice in India, the candidate has to appear for the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Medical Commission (NMC) or National Board of Examinations (NBE)
(2) Passing Marks: A minimum of 50%
(3) The candidate can practice either in Govt or Private hospital
(4) One has to decide from which country he wants to do PG. As far as India is concerned, the candidate has to appear for the NEET PG entrance test. There are no direct PG admissions in India without NEET-PG if the candidate seeks an NMC-recognized PG qualification.
Finally, If you plan to pursue a PG degree abroad, ensure that the institution and course are recognized by the NMC to practice in India upon your return.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on Mar 03, 2026

Career
Hello Sir, I gave the NEET exam in 2024,25 and now I want to take a gap of 1 year and give the exam in 2027, is it possible?
Ans: Hi Vatsalya,
Thank you for reaching out to REDIFFGURUS.
I understand that you have some confusion regarding the NEET. To clarify, there is no notification stating that candidates have limited access to appear for the NEET. There is no upper limit on attempts. The key is to focus on your preparation. You have already taken the exam twice, and this will be your third attempt. With your previous experience, you should have a better understanding of your weaknesses and strengths, which will help you in your preparation.

Please don't waste any more time and start analyzing what the issues were in your past NEET attempts. Based on your findings, you can adjust your study plan accordingly.

Additionally, could you please share your marks from 10th and 12th grade (PCMB) as well as your NEET scores? Sharing these details will help me provide more tailored input regarding your situation.

For your convenience, I will share a brief overview of the NEET information:
Key New Rules and Changes for NEET 2026
Aadhaar-based eKYC: Mandatory for registration to verify identity, requiring exact matches in name, date of birth, and gender.
Live Photo Capture: Candidates must take a live photo via webcam/smartphone during application rather than uploading a pre-saved image.
Exam Center Allocation: Candidates can no longer choose their city; centers will be automatically assigned by the NTA based on the Aadhaar card address.
Application Integrity: No correction window for photos, signatures, or biometric impressions. Discrepancies lead to automatic rejection.
Expanded Scope: NEET 2026 scores are mandatory for various allied and undergraduate healthcare programs beyond MBBS/BDS.
Core Eligibility and Exam Structure (Unchanged)
Age Limit: Minimum 17 years by Dec 31, 2026; NO UPPER AGE LIMIT.
Attempts: NO RESTRICTION on the NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS.
Qualification: Passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, & Biology (PCB).

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on Mar 03, 2026

Asked by Anonymous - Mar 02, 2026Hindi
Career
I completed my 12th State Board in 2025 with Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Mathematics. I now want to apply for a college course that requires Biology, and the college has informed me that they accept NIOS qualifications but require all three subjects - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, not just Biology alone. I have already applied for the NIOS On-Demand Biology exam scheduled in March 2026. I would like clarification on the following: 1. Should I write the Biology On-Demand exam in march and then later apply for Physics and Chemistry through NIOS On-Demand as well, or is it better to enroll for the NIOS Public Exam and write all five subjects (English, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology) together to obtain a single consolidated 12th passing certificate instead of separate marksheets? 2. If I take the Biology exam now and pass or fail, am I allowed to appear for the Biology exam again in the NIOS Public Exam session? Will they accept my admission for 12th public exam after taking biology on demand? 3. Since I have already completed my State Board 12th and passed all the subjects, am I eligible to apply for a full NIOS Public Exam with five subjects or can I only apply for on demand exam? Which option on demand or public exam is best to obtain a full 12th passing certificate from nios? I thought it is best to take the full public exam for 12th STD in NIOS instead of getting seperate marksheet for each subject so that I can get my college admission smoothly. Kindly guide me on which option is officially recommended for smooth college admission eligibility.
Ans: Hi,

Thank you for contacting Rediffguru.

I appreciate your thorough inquiry; it shows that you have a lot of questions. However, I need a bit more information to assist you better. Could you please specify which course you are interested in and which institution requires you to complete biology before joining? Once I have those details, I can suggest the best options for you.

Looking forward to your response!
BEST REGARDS.

Asked by Anonymous - Feb 02, 2026Hindi
Relationship
I had a woman colleague whom I was very close with her.I had lots of interactions with her daily lunch outing lunch etc..but we both are in early 40s both r married and having kids.We had a special liking don't know beyond it.I was crazy on her and always thinking of her.She resigned and got relieved gave her gifts etc..I used to pick her drop her etc..But after resigned I was in constant touch with her and she never told me where she joined.One day I called her and she didn't pick the call and when I wrote hope ur busy she wrote a nasty message stating I was searching her where she went and didn't che k with her and I will show this message to entire world etc ..she wrote ..I tried to convince them topic changed but this hurt me very very badly with sleepless nights.I have done lots lots and help to her during her tenure but she was selfish and threw me with bad intentions.Then after few days I also wrote ur a opportunity,selfish and then I helped u etc and we had a complete split she returned my gift amount and I paid for her charity which she collects for the year.But anyways not able to move away from our thoughts even though we have completely split and both blocked out numbers etc..Let me know how to come out from this iam so depressed not in a mood to do anything..
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I am not sure if you mean you both have romantic feelings for each other or just friendly. If it’s romantic, I am not sure I can help because in that case, you should be working on your marriages and figuring out what’s lacking in your relationship that you are seeking love and attention from a colleague. If the feelings are romantic, moving on from your colleague should be the least of your worries and working on your marriage your priority.

But if you mean you and your colleague were close friends, and you can’t move on from the friendship, then I am sorry you are in such a tricky situation. Sometimes people forget about all the good things we do for them; people forget friendships. It happens and it’s unfair. I know moving on from some friendships can be difficult but with time it will not feel much of a loss, especially when you understand that they were never your real friend.

Hope this helps.
