After qualifying NEET PG, candidates can pursue either MD (Doctor of Medicine) or MS (Master of Surgery). MD programs focus on non-surgical or medical specialties such as Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Dermatology, and Radiology. MS programs focus on surgical specialties such as General Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. Both MD and MS programs typically have a duration of three years and include academic training, clinical practice, and research.
