A doctor on Wednesday said that MBBS had become the new BTech in the country as there were very few jobs for young doctors. He shared a picture of a crowd at Delhi State Cancer Institute (GTB Hospital) and said over 500 doctors were competing for 20 jobs.
The medical profession, along with engineering, is among the most sought-after careers for millions of young Indians and their families.
But lately it has come to surface that just like s in other professions, doctors too have to struggle to find jobs.
Netizens pointed out that India has a serious problem with demand and supply of doctors as the country is in need of more doctors, yet there are fewer jobs for them.
"Yes, what Indians still don't understand is that it's a demand-supply problem currently in India. There are too many doctors for too few jobs in the cities, and as a result, they can't demand a high salary like their counterparts in the IT sector. There are no campus placements."
On the other hand, Science and Arts have been students' most preferred choice of subject after Class 10 in the past ten years.
Students opting for Science and Arts streams have increased from 31% in 2012 to above 40% in 2022. While the Commerce stream lagged far behind, with only 14 per cent of students opting for the once most sought-after subject.
