Hello there,

Yes, you can pursue postgraduate (PG) degrees in two different subjects after completing your MBBS. Both degrees will be valid, and the previous one will not be canceled. However, there are some important considerations:

1. Sequential Study:

  • Typically, you would complete one PG degree (like MD, MS, or DNB) first and then apply for another PG course.

  • You cannot pursue two PG courses simultaneously in medical sciences due to the intensive nature of the programs and the requirements of medical councils.

    2. Degree Validity:

  • Both PG degrees will be recognized and valid as long as they are obtained from recognized institutions and are approved by the Medical Council of India (MCI) or the National Medical Commission (NMC).

  • The first PG degree will not be canceled when you complete the second one.

    3. Practice and Career:

  • You can choose to practice in either of the specialties or use the knowledge from both to enhance your medical career.

  • Your career path may be influenced by which specialty you prefer to focus on in your practice.

    4. State Medical Council Registration:

    Ensure that you register each degree with the respective state medical council to practice legally under both specialties.

    5. Time Commitment:

    Pursuing two PG degrees will require a significant time investment, so consider this in your career planning.

In summary, you can pursue PG degrees in two different subjects after MBBS, and both will be valid. The choice of specialization and how you wish to use both degrees in your career will depend on your professional goals.
