Should I pursue MBBS or appear for UPSC exam?

Hi Amit, Let me tell you in simple words. A lot of students prefer a normal graduation degree than going for MBBS who aim at UPSC exams later. If you're ultimate aim is to clear UPSC exam and become a civil servant, don't think twice. Go for it. You pursuing 5 years of MBBS for UPSC would make less sense afterwards. People choose UPSC these days from among other courses because of many reasons. There can be a lot many reasons for the same. Lack of opportunities in core fields: Every year more than 15 lakh students pass their engineering exams and more than 3 lakhs students clear management exams in India. But, are there enough job opportunities for them in their core fields (I.e. core engineering or respective management fields) for them to be absorbed. A number of these young graduates struggle to find even a decent job (leave aside a good job). So, what options do they have except to look for alternatives like Banking, UPSC etc. Better career Opportunities: Every citizen has a right to look for a better career opportunity for himself/ herself. Just because someone had opted for a particular field doesn't necessarily means that he can't perform well in other fields. If you are a cricket fan, you might remember Anil Kumble & Javagal Srinath; both are engineering graduates. But, they had talent in cricket and reached great heights in non-technical field. Money: Those who say that money is not a consideration for them while choosing a job, are lying (leaving aside a few exceptions). If, a fresh engineering student can get better salary in Non-technical field like UPSC//Banks etc., why won't he join there if the opportunity comes. Respect: The respect that an IAS/IRS/IPS officer will command, can a engineer in say TATA Motors or Infosys command similar respect? There can be other personal reasons like family pressure, peer pressure, change in interests etc that may make someone to look to take UPSC exams even after completing their Engineering/Medical/Management kind of professional courses. I hope it is clear now. Feel free to raise more queries. All the best.

If you are serious enough to crack UPSC in to go for civil service, then keep preparing UPSC CSE. Otherwise, go for MBBS it has a bright future. Best of luck.

The best choice will be pursue MBBS and try for UPSC later on. Because for appearing UPSC a graduation is required. You cannot directly appear UPSC.

It totally depends on your interest. Firstly, question yourself like"in which can I do better?" Keep a lot of interest on that. According my knowledge, I think UPSC is the best choice than MBBS because I too want to appear for UPSC exams. And one more thing, if you want to appear for UPSC exam please Google "Tina Dhabi's time table" it really helps you a lot.
