Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is M.S. General Surgery better than MD Medicine?

Both are prestigious; however, M.S. is for those who enjoy procedural, hands-on work and direct surgical intervention, while MD focuses on diagnosis and pharmacological treatment.

2. What is the scope for robotic surgery training in M.S.?

Many top-tier teaching hospitals and corporate-affiliated medical colleges now integrate robotic-assisted surgery modules in their M.S. General Surgery programs.

3. Can I pursue M.Ch. immediately after M.S.?

Yes, once you complete your M.S., you are eligible to appear for the NEET-SS (Super Specialty) or similar exams to pursue a 3-year M.Ch. program.

4. What is the average stipend for M.S. residents?

Stipends are determined by the state and the institute, generally ranging from ₹55,000 to ₹1,10,000 per month in government hospitals.

5. How does the NEXT exam impact M.S. admissions?

For the 2026 session, the National Exit Test (NEXT) is likely to be the primary gateway, replacing NEET-PG as the licentiate-cum-entrance exam for surgical specializations.
