MD and MS are known to be the postgraduate degrees which doctors pursue after MBBS in India. MD focuses on medical fields like Medicine, Pediatrics, Radiology, Skin, Psychiatry, and Anesthesia. MS focuses on surgical fields like General Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Eye, and Obstetrics & Gynecology. MD doctors work on diagnosing and treating with medicines, but MS doctors perform surgeries. Students get these branches through NEET PG/NExT on the basis of their rank and interest. These specializations help doctors to build deeper skills in chosen areas. The most demanding MD branches in India are Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine, and Pediatrics. Other highly demanding specialties are Psychiatry, Obstetrics & Gynecology, General Surgery and Orthopedics. These fields are highly competitive due to their high demand and increasing public health needs.
