Medical PG in India or NEXT
During MBBS studies a student realizes the importance of being a specialist. They also understand the competition to secure MD/MS seat in Govt. College. If we look at the success ratio to get PG in Govt. Medical college which is 11% roughly we can say only 1 out of 10 will get PG seat while chances of getting clinical specialty is 1 out of 20 applicants. It is obvious that the journey of PG is going to be very difficult, otherwise students should have enough money to get paid seat in private. Medical college can be in crores.

Medical PG in USA (USMLE)
We are well aware of the difficulty of getting a PG in India. With the introduction of NEXT, maximum students in India are getting attracted to USMLE prep from 1st year of MBBS since it simulates the new NMC Competency-based curriculum much more easily. US Healthcare system is considered one of the best health care systems because of numerous reasons like High rewards, excellent infrastructure, Merit-based assessment, Open opportunities for Super specialties. Most of the countries trying to replicate the US health care assessment system for their Medical Graduates USMLE exam are divided into 3 Parts. One can appear in USMLE Step 1 after 2nd Year, USMLE Step 2 CK during an internship, and Step-3 during your residency (Medical PG). The USMLE is an online exam and can be taken at the PROMETRIC centers present across India.
Medical PG IN UK (PLAB)
NMC has already informed to start NEXT exam in India from 2023. This exam will replace all medical PG exams in India. The exam will be conducted in two parts NEXT-1 and NEXT-2. NEXT-1 aims at assessing the student's knowledge of Pre, Para and Clinical subjects at the national level. Any medical student will be eligible for internship only after qualifying NEXT-1. After the completion of internship the students need to go through NEXT-2 which will assess their clinical skills, patient management and taking into account medical history.

Medical PG in Germany
PG in Germany is another great option after MBBS in India, however for this you need to learn German language. Out of the 6 levels starting from AL to C2, you have to clear AL and A2 which will make you eligible to apply for Visa. Once the language formalities are done, you get to the stage where you are observer-shipped to a German hospital approved by the German Medical Council. Then there is residency. It may sound simple here but the process is quite complicated. To know more about PG in Germany after MBBS in India.
