New Delhi: An image of a crowd of MBBS students at a Delhi hospital is being shared widely on social media. The image shared by a doctor, Dhruv Chauhan, called MBBS the new BTech on his Twitter handle. Posting the image, he said over 500 doctors were competing for 20 jobs at Delhi State Cancer Institute (GTB Hospital).
“20 posts, 500+ candidates…MBBS is the New B.Tech…Yes, this is the condition when you try to get a job after passing MBBS,” Doctor Dhruv Chauhan tweeted. “In the picture is Delhi State Cancer Institute (GTB) for the vacancy of non-academic Junior Residency,” he said.
Reacting to the photo, many Twitter users pointed out that since Delhi offers one of the highest salaries to junior resident doctors, more candidates flock to hospitals seeking admission there.
Responding to his tweet, Dr Pragya Shukla, HOD (Clinical Oncology) at Delhi State Cancer Institute, said this is the state of the doctors when the whole time “we keep hearing about the scarcity of doctors”. She said there was no scarcity of doctors. “Doctors are jobless. Create jobs.”
Abhishek Roy, a strategy consultant, said what Indians still did not understand was that it was a demand-supply problem currently in India.
Another doctor said that most of them were joining it as a temporary income source to stay in Delhi for PG preparation. “And JR stipend in Delhi is approx Rs 80,000 to Rs 90,000, that’s why more number of students apply in Delhi hospitals JR vacancy,” the person said.
Some other Twitter users also pointed out that India needs more doctors but has fewer job opportunities for them.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi is one of the top most medical colleges in India. AIIMS Delhi is a central government-run institute. It has been the best medical college in the country ever since the medical category was introduced in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranking in 2018.
Last year, the MCC held two rounds of counselling for admission to AIIMS Delhi. Here are the category-wise closing ranks for MBBS admission in AIIMS Delhi.
