This is the existing confusion for all students who have taken the 12th Science stream.

Both the professions are quite lucrative.
But mind you these days getting a job in both the fields is extremely difficult, since there are many in a lot. What is something different in you that you must be employed.


Medical is a 5 1/2 years course, post 12th. Please note that these days internship is for a year, making it a 61/2 year course. Looking forward there is no scope just being a General Practitioner, unless you wish to open your clinic and start practicing. So doing a PG is important.
Along with this please note that if you do a different or a unique specialization rather than following the lot is important. Since there are many doctors in the top level, for you to make a name would be difficult. So choose from something like Occupational Therapists to Oncology, to radiologists to Physiotherapists to orthopedic to pediatrician.

As far as engineering is concerned it is a 4 years course. Getting a job after Graduation is difficult these days unless you are at the top level. Due to the lack of employment opportunities engineers opt for an MBA program this year.


Please note that the above mentioned details are not to put you down but to show you facts happening in the stream.

Also one needs different potentials in the two streams.
eg. A doctor needs good communication skills and needs to be empathetic, whereas an engineer would need good hands on or motor skills.rather than communication skill.

For you to choose between the 2 streams, it would be best if you could undergo an Aptitude tests that would point out your potentials and help you decide accurately.

Wish you good luck..........
