To an extent, yes! Whereas there is dearth of doctors in India, thus MBBS itself should be seen as a matter of fulfilling the gap in healthcare shortage. For example: MBBS should be a sufficient degree to work as a GP or FP. But the trend to specialize is becoming the predominant pathway.

It definitely feels like it, given the fact that proportion of existing PG seats with ever increasing UG seats is very low.

MBBS in India is increasingly seen as just the eligibility step for NEET-PG, since without specialization, job opportunities, pay, and recognition are quite limited. Most students pursue PG to advance their careers and be seen as fully qualified doctors.
But in many rural areas ,mbbs doctors are seen working without any specialization or after mbbs if one clears upsc CMS exam,he ir she can directly become medical officer at centre level.

So increasing number of ug seats without proportionate increase in pg seats does affect healthcare?

As an MBBS student, I believe MBBS is the foundation of the medical field. It equips us with the essential knowledge and skills to understand human health, diagnose diseases, and provide the right treatment. It’s not just a degree—it’s the beginning of a lifelong journey to serve and heal.

Not a good idea… Abroad MBBS students are also important and they do same study as Indian students

The growing no. Of graduates and need for specialists in every department is rising. But today also the need of MBBS graduates is immense at ground level. Future is tough as patients are more aware of available specialists and super specialists so getting a PG is essential in today’s age.

Yes, MBBS degree is increasingly being perceived as an eligibility criteria for NEET-PG.
Job opportunities are fewer and salaries are lower.
It’s because the medical system in India doesn’t empower MBBS graduates enough.
This perception needs to change.
