MS is postgraduate degree in general surgery while MD is the postgraduate degree in general medicine. Both are pursued only after MBBS. MS is for some fields where more of surgical expertise and skills are required. Whereas, MD is mostly non-surgical, but there are some branches where surgery can be part of MD. There are various branches where a MBBS graduate can pursue MS or MD. The decision should be taken depending on one’s choice of subject. But because of growing competition this may not be possible all the time. After MD or MS, you can join a medical college as teaching faculty, start own practice, can apply for job in government health sector or corporate hospitals. So, its all up to you which one would you like to go for. One thing I would say that apart from applying to PG exams for govt colleges, you should try for good private universities as well like Santosh University of ghaziabad which conduct its own entrance exam for admissions in to MS. Keep an eye on their admissions notification. Good luck :)
