Introduction: Turning NEET PG Dreams Into Reality
Every MBBS graduate dreams of securing a seat in a prestigious MD or MS program — the gateway to specialization, professional growth, and clinical excellence. But the reality is that NEET PG counselling can be a maze of confusion — changing seat allotment rules, multiple rounds, state vs all-India quotas, and tough competition.
That’s where Path Mentor steps in — not just as a counsellor, but as a trusted mentor. With personalized strategies, expert analysis, and real-time guidance, Path Mentor has helped hundreds of students navigate the complex process and secure their dream MD/MS seats.
In this blog, we bring you real success stories of students who turned their aspirations into achievements with Path Mentor’s help — and insights on how you can do the same.
Understanding the Journey: From MBBS to MD/MS
Before diving into the stories, let’s understand what the MD/MS journey looks like after MBBS.
MD vs MS: Choosing the Right Path
- MD (Doctor of Medicine) focuses on non-surgical specializations, such as Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Radiology, and Psychiatry.
- MS (Master of Surgery) deals with surgical specializations, including Orthopedics, ENT, General Surgery, and Ophthalmology.
Both are equally prestigious, but choosing between MD vs MS depends on your interest, aptitude, and long-term goals.
Why NEET PG Counselling Is Challenging
Securing a seat isn’t just about marks — it’s about strategy.
Students often face:
- Confusion between All India Quota vs State Quota
- Lack of clarity about Deemed, Private, and NRI quotas
- Difficulty understanding cut-offs, seat matrix, and round-wise trends
- Missing important registration or verification deadlines
Even high scorers sometimes lose opportunities due to poor planning or misinformation.
That’s exactly what Path Mentor helps students overcome — by making the counselling process transparent, stress-free, and data-driven.
