Medicine, the traditionally sought after career, still attracts hordes of hopefuls every year. It offers rewarding career opportunities both in service sector as well as in private practice. It offers an opportunity to serve the people and make good earning. But the study of medicine is not an easy go. It involves almost burning one’s midnight oil during the 5 ½ years course of study. And equally difficult is getting admitted to the course particularly in view of the limited number of seats available in the existing Medical Colleges and comparatively huge number of aspirants competing for these seats.
ENTRANCE PROCEDURE :
Generally the syllabus of the entrance examination for admission to the MBBS course consists of subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at the senior secondary (+2) level. Certainly those who are career conscious and start preparing for the entrance examinations well in time generally have an edge and finally succeed in their aim.
