Courses and Career after 12TH Science, Biology Group

MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery)

MBBS involves heavy competition in the admission process. Most of The Government College seats are taken up by meritorious students and the ones who are eligible for reservations.

This course is opted by relatively few students. This makes it very easy for graduate students to get a Government Job easily! Moreover people are getting highly interested in petting animals. This trend is even catching up in big cities. So, the idea of starting up one’s own clinic/venture is taking high grounds.

BAMS (Bachelore of Ayurveda, Medicine and Surgery)
