Whether in India or any where else in the world pursuing Medical education is not an easy thing. It does require a lot of dedication and hard work.
It is not easy to get into MD/MS in India as it is believed.
Sadly now parents discourage their children from taking up Medicine.
I never said that career in medicine is easy in India. I know how tough and competitive are the MBBS entrance exams in India.
That is why I am surprised how CVs can show everyone become a doctor.
I said the way the CVs are showing everyone becoming a doctor, irrespective of their age and background and past qualifications, they are making it look as though it is very easy.
However, I dont agree that parents discourage their children from taking up Medicine.
