Top Indian medical graduates are avoiding general surgery due to long hours, burnout, and stress, choosing medicine and diagnostics instead.
Top Indian medical graduates are increasingly avoiding general surgery, with only 6.6% of the top 1,500 NEET-PG 2025 candidates choosing it, a sharp decline from past years.
Instead, many are opting for MD general medicine (42%) and MD radiodiagnosis (30%), citing long training hours, high burnout, medico-legal risks, and desire for better work-life balance.
The shift reflects growing concerns over surgical careers’ intensity and unpredictability, with younger doctors favoring stable, less stressful paths in medicine and diagnostics.
