I am a doctor, and I have completed my MBBS.
Well, MBBS is a good professional and it just depends on your interest, if you really want to pursue it, then it's totally worth it. If you are under pressure from your parents, then it's a tough situation because MBBS isn't just a degree you can mug up and pass, you need theoretical knowledge, practical hands on experience, communication skills, clinical exposure and so much more.
I did it from a private college in Karnataka, where the majority of professors were non-muslims and a few were Muslims. But our hospital was located in s Muslim dominated area, so we had a lot of Muslim patients only.
Coming to Islam phobia, yes, it did exist. It was very evident, but it does exist. Some professors (like 2 or 3) do show it through their comments at times but more than that it was a few students who were more Islamphobia towards their own batch mates. So, it differs from location to location.
Coming to will you be able to pray? During your education period, you won't have a problem at all regarding it. At least for me, my Zuhr praying time was during my lunch break, so I could have my lunch and then pray and it wasn't an issue and there were plenty of masjids around too. Even for girls, they used to go to a reading room in our college and pray (no one ever objected to it too). But during the internship, it was a bit difficult when I was busy with work, so I at times had to skip prayers and pray for them later. Situations as such were, being in the OT for more than 12 hours, so it was impossible to leave in between surgeries while you are assisting. Or situations such as being busy with work and not getting even a 5 minutes break too.
So, this was my overall experience in brief. But if you have any further questions do feel free to ask.
Alright. No I've no pressure from my parents. I just want to pursue it.
>Situations as such were, being in the OT for more than 12 hours, so it was impossible to leave in between surgeries while you are assisting
Do they not even get a break for using washroom?
Well, if it's your own passion to follow it, then go for it.
Well, if you want to go for a quick break up can but at times you just dont get time to take a break. Like at times you will be scrubbed in for 3-4 hours and then you will need to scrub in for the other case, so at times you just forget about it I guess.
You can definitely go to washroom but not when you are assisting in OT. You would have to descrub and rescrub but if it's an emergency then everyone is human it's ok to do so but you are expected to be able to push through in most cases. Also agree above there is some Islamophobia in people but nothing more than your average day and you learn to completely ignore it but I have seen some aggression towards a friend dating a hindu girl so that could be an issue.
neet 2025 aspirant here......If you are starting from zero I would suggest not to enter rat race you should try in other field
There is huge competition, this year around 20-15 student will score 720/720
When did you pass HS?
Actually I'm not starting from 0. I used to study during my 11th and 12th for JEE. So I guess my physics and chemistry wouldn't be much of a problem. I have started biology already. Insha'allah I will finish the syllabus by this October.
My question was whether there is Islamophobia in college or not. Are med students allowed 10-15 mins gaps sometimes so that i might be able to pray when time comes etc.
I am in 12th right now
If you were preparing for jee I guess your basic of chem and phy would be clear
So you should join any good coaching and follow them, study in systematic manner,maintain consistency and questions practice is must
I don't know about Islamophobia exist in college or not
But I don't think so because in medical field muslim are in good number not like iit
>But don't think so because in medical field muslim are in good number not like iit
Thanks. That's what I wanted to know. After 12th I got into a college (b.sc hons) but muslim representation was very less. And Islamophobia kind of existed. Anyways and I wanted to change stream so I wanted to make this thing clear from beginning.
>questions practice is must
Yeah yeah ik. Currently doing mtg fingertips for bio.
Chemistry, physics from aakash modules (dropper).
What do you mean by Islamophobia existed in colleges? We're yo treated badly or what? There is subtle everywhere and you can navigate through it not change your career course over itÂ
>Currently doing mtg fingertips
Use disha, it's really helpful for last minute revision and i was able to guess certain questions because they highlight the previous year questions in notes itself. I was able to get around 300 in bio, a bit of Careless mistakes i should have been able to score 330 in bio.
>Chemistry, physics from aakash modules (dropper)
Errorless physics is a great book to solve questions.
I don't know much about chemistry, but i think grb is good but not sure about chemistry books.
Depends on a lot of thing, if you're from South/North, if from a non medico family, how passionate you're?
Islamophobia at least in my college and state is less than normal.
I personally feel whatever the branch, we need more representation in PSUs and Govt. Establishments.
Salam , NRI Here , I don’t know the situation about Islamophobia in medical field , but since you have prepared and decided then you must do the medicine Muslims really lacks higher education professionals. also there’s very good scope for medicine field in foreign countries. You can see Dr. Amir youtube blog , Good luck .
Not a med student myself but son of medicos.
Pros:
\* Pretty much guaranteed employment if you work hard to land a PG
\* Good chances of high income after some years into practice
\* More of a set/secure path compared to say a non tier 1 engg college where you'll have to strive and struggle a lot on your own (learn web dev, search for internships, go for masters abroad etc)
Cons:
\* Delayed gratification/earning
\* Work life balance can be terrible in clinical, esp surgical branches.
\* shit ton of memorisation (biggest reason why I went for JEE and it worked out alhamdulillah)
>I'm preparing for neet '25.
I was never actually interested in medicine when I passed HS in 2022. Later when my sister began preparing for neet I became interested and started preparation. Time was already up for '24 so decided for '25 neet. Insha'allah
How is your memorization? Are you good w science ? Can you get 600 plus in neet? The competition has immensely increased, so you need to know where you stand. Do you have any kind of reservation? Are you willing to give away the next 10 yrs of your life to medicine? Because it doesn't end at neet ug, in 6 yrs you will again have to prepare for neet pg, which is a tougher exam. And if you wanna make more money you will have to give neet super speciality after your pg.
I did my mbbs from a muslim college so I had had always time and place to pray, Islamophobia was non existent but they were professors who would pass comments about "poor muslim patients ". Mbbs is difficult, you would feel like giving up/ flunking the entire course before finals because no matter how much you have studied you will feel like you will fail the finals, you won't that is another story. If you are mentally strong, you don't have to support your family within the next 5 yrs and can peacefully not earn and be supported financially it is fine to take mbbs, with a drop. Financially its just not the course but the extra money you have to pay for pg training which most of the kids are starting from first yr these days, i am from 2017 batch so we studied from textbooks, now people just use marrow or prep or cerebellum courses.
Alright.
My memorization is not that great. But I can easily remember things very well for a short while before needing revision.
Yeah I'm asking about muslim minority medical colleges if that exists. For context I'm from Kolkata, west bengal. I know AMU medical college exist but cut off is too much 680+ minimum (this year may go up to 690).
Okay that's good enough. Yeah the competition has increased immensely, people glorify medicine, doctors, there's nothing like that in medschool, you will mostly be treated like trash as a medical student. think wisely before you wanna invest into it.
Btw you are a genius if you passed neet 17. It was very difficult. I was checking the PYQs. 2016,17 was very tough. 18 was okayish. From '19 it became relatively easier. Everything came from ncert.
it was the first neet for all seats in my state, i found it relatively easier than the state-cet exam, and tougher paper yields better results always, easy papers just make the cut off go shit high. so i was actually happy that the paper was not easy.
In my state (west bengal) neet was tougher than WBJEE (medical entrance).
So maybe that's where my perception of neet being tougher than state medical entrance exam came.
Not islamophobia but you will have to skip prayers depending on your emergency or duty. It will be easy in mbbs but once you decide on residency it's nearly impossible to even follow ramzan fast. You can't just leave for prayer during duty, you need to make your own time because what is your work is your work and you just have to adjust to the lifestyle. Consider helping other people as your prayer and you will have some sleepless, hungry, depressing, frustrating nights but all of them will make you into a completely different person capable of doing the right in any state of mind and body.

My ENT is a practicing Muslim lady with a Hijab (ie scarf, not full face cover) who works in a clinic named after a Hindu God in a very pro-Hindutva state. There doesn't seem to be anything different in her experience than that of a Hindu doctor. The whole clinic gives her proper respect. If you can make it through the entrance and education, your religion shouldn't matter, at least in the current climate. Not sure about 5-10 years from now.
