For a career in Oncology, including pursuing a specialization like Radiation Oncology or Pediatric Oncology, here's a general path you can follow:

  1. Internship Performance : Focus on excelling in your current internship. A good performance will strengthen your application for residency and future opportunities.

  2. NEET PG Rank : To get into competitive specialties like Radiation Oncology or Pediatric Oncology, a high rank in NEET PG is crucial. Generally, a rank within the top 500-1000 is favorable for such specialties, though this can vary depending on the year and institute.

  3. Specialty Choice :

    • Radiation Oncology : You can enter Radiation Oncology directly after completing your MBBS, without needing to complete Internal Medicine or Pediatrics first. This is because Radiation Oncology is typically a distinct specialty in itself.
    • Pediatric Oncology : For Pediatric Oncology, you need to complete a residency in Pediatrics first. Once you complete your Pediatric residency, you can then pursue a super-specialty in Pediatric Oncology.

In summary, if you're interested in Pediatric Oncology, you'll need to first complete a residency in Pediatrics. For Radiation Oncology, you can directly enter the specialty after your MBBS, but a high NEET PG rank will improve your chances of getting into a good program.
