Hello Kaunain Fatima, 


Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) is a professional course which is always in demand. Once graduated from a reputed college with an internship completed, one gets the opportunity to either work with a hospital as a practicing doctor or could start their own individual clinics. One can either work as a general physician or pursue a specialization and work in that field.


On an average a general practitioner earns around 5.5 lacs, while a surgeon earns 7.5 lacs. Job profiles like that of specialists like pathologist, pediatrician, gynecologist, orthopedist, cardiologist etc. offer a salary package of around 10 to 12 lacs. In terms of salary, a radiologist and an anesthetist gets the highest pay scales of around 14.5 to 16 lacs.


Pharm. D. is a 6- year doctorate level course, including five years of academic study and a year of internship or residency. The course aims to prepare eligible candidates students in the management of patient medication therapy and improving patient outcomes.

So, go for whatever course you find interesting as both of them are good at their respective levels.



Take your time and think about it and at the end it has to be your decision.


All the best...!!
