Prachi Kumari 09 November,2024
Hello there,
Becoming both an IAS officer and a doctor is achievable but requires dedication and clear planning, as each career has distinct educational and examination paths. Here’s a roadmap to help you achieve both:
1.
Complete Your MBBS to Become a Doctor
-
Enroll in an MBBS Program
: First, you need to qualify for NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) and get admission to a medical college.
-
Complete Your Medical Degree
: The MBBS program typically takes 5.5 years, including an internship.
-
Gain Experience (Optional)
: You may choose to practice medicine for a few years to gain clinical experience, but it’s not mandatory if your goal is to pursue IAS right after MBBS.
2. Prepare for the UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE)
-
Understand the UPSC Exam Structure
: The UPSC CSE has three stages—Preliminary Exam, Mains Exam, and Interview. You can start preparing while in medical school or after completing MBBS.
-
Choose Your Optional Subject
: As a doctor, you may consider taking medical science as your optional subject, though it’s not mandatory.
-
Develop a Study Plan
: Balance your medical studies or job with UPSC preparation. Many doctors manage both by allocating dedicated study time each day.
-
Appear for the Exam
: With a systematic approach, crack the UPSC exam and qualify for the IAS position.
3. Career Path as a Doctor-IAS
-
IAS Training and Posting
: After clearing UPSC, complete your training and take up your role as an IAS officer. You’ll have a broad scope to influence healthcare, public policy, and social development.
-
Consider Government Health Roles
: In administrative roles, you could use your medical background to work in health-related departments, where your knowledge of medicine would be a unique asset.
Additional Pathways
-
Alternative Approach
: You could also join as a doctor in a government hospital and then transition to administration by appearing for the UPSC exam when ready.
- Health Policy and Administration : Use your medical background in policy formulation or in roles within the Ministry of Health, combining both careers for impactful healthcare reforms.
This dual career path is ambitious but can be very rewarding, allowing you to serve in both the medical and administrative fields.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.
kumardurgesh1802 05 November,2024
Hello aspirant, The answer to this question is no. Both of these areas require your complete commitment and dedication. You can not manage both of these together. Also it is not allowed to do any other profession while performing duties as a IAS officer. If you want to practice medical profession then you have to leave your job.
Thank you
Hope it helps you.
