MBBS and BDS through NEET, alongside nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, lab technology and other allied routes.
MBBS is a long commitment and hard to redirect midway. Allied health degrees are shorter, admit more widely and lead into clinical work, public health and overseas employment.
Treating the whole field as MBBS or nothing. Nursing and allied health have strong outcomes, real shortages and a fraction of the competition, and nobody tells a student this at the moment they need to hear it.
NEET competition is severe regardless of board marks; allied routes admit far more widely. Government medical seats are inexpensive; private and management seats run into tens of lakhs.
