Hello


Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I can understand your issues that you are going through now but i am a little surprised that how you did not think of these issues before taking up medicine? You may have known that you will be deemed to perform operation, do anatomical dissection when you become a Doctor right? Its already a year you have been doing MBBS and if you change course now, you may lose out a year. Are you okay for this? It isn't a bad thing or a sin to miss out on a year as there are students who experience this phase but it is necessary to ask you if you will be happy to pursue this change of course.

Changing from MBBS to Biotechnology shouldn't haunt you later, or you should not feel bad to have missed out the course. This is why I highly support Ms Gomathi's counselling here. Can you get adjusted to studying anatomy class alone? If you can manage to get through this class, then you can get your MBBS degree. Like wise you can choose Doctor professions where performing surgery is not necessary. Yes you can choose to be a Dermatologist, Paediatrics, emergency medicine, anaesthesia, endocrinology, general internal medicine and family practice. But still your work life will be only at a hospital and ask yourself if you are prepared to work in such an atmosphere all your life.


If you are very sure you cannot at all work in a hospital if you hate it so much, then please dont have second thoughts and feel free to change to Biotechnology. But also be warned that certain biotechnology professions may require to work in hospitals and you should again be clear to skip such professions. If you are confident that you dont want to work in a hospital, and not perform anatomy dissection then just jump into Biotechnology course. As said please complete your MBBS first year as some colleges may consider you to directly admit you in second year of BTech degree although only private universities does it. I also advice you to appear for IIT JEE as I belive you are smart enough to crack this exam and get a high percentage. With a high score in IIT JEE, you can get into any of the IIT's for a BTech Biotechnology. If you pass out from IIT, your life will be more stable with the brand you will have on your resume. So try giving a shot for this. Instead of joining into a private college, an IIT name will offer you better stand. Hope this helps. My best wishes to you.
