Networking as an MBBS student helps you learn from seniors, get guidance on exams, find research or clinical opportunities, and build connections that support your career. Even simple steps like talking to seniors, asking questions during postings, or joining academic groups can open doors. For example, a student once got into a research project just by showing interest during rounds—boosting their CV for future exams. It’s about being curious, respectful, and open to learning from others.
