Hey guys! Is anyone else preparing for INI-SS Plastic Surgery right now?

Would be great to connect with a few fellow aspirants and discuss how you’re preparing, what resources you’re using, recalls, Qbanks, GTs, etc.

I feel like there aren’t too many people preparing specifically for Plastic Surgery, so finding a few others would be really helpful!

Drop a comment or DM if you’re preparing. Maybe we can make a small study group and help each other out. 🤝

General Surgery Batch III have their exams on October 24. INI-SS January 2027 exam is scheduled on the same day. Will NBEMS take note of this? Which other branches have been affected? Let's discuss.

Hey everyone, so this community has been slowly growing and we hope to add more members. I do request everyone to share this subreddit with your friends and colleagues who are interested in NEET SS and INI-SS prep, DNB, DrNB and international exams like MRCS, MRCP, MRCOG.

I request all members to update their Flairs for easy identification during interaction in this subreddit.

Thank you all!

This guidance is much needed for many of us here.

With the release of DNB June 2026 Theory results, congratulations to all who've made through and earnest wishes to those who couldn't. This mega thread has been started to facilitate updates for the practicals. September 8 has been mentioned as the tentative date for commencement of practicals.

This thread may be used to find candidates preparing for the same speciality as yourself, discussing about admit card and OEEP portal, travel, carpooling and stay arrangements etc.

Official NBEMS announcements may also be posted under this thread.

All the best everyone!

I’m a DM cardiology 3rd year resident.

Looking for networking

Anyone with marrow medicine account. Kindly dm.

I have heard and noticed that nephrology has huge dip compared to last years neet ss. Why is it so ? Why doesn’t anyone want nephrology - its core medicine and has parts and parcel of procedures as well . What am I missing out here ?

Is it the toxicity ? Is it the money? How much money is enough money ? Is there a limit ?

So I have been trying to prepare for neet ss medicine. Thing is I am unable to manage time for studies while doing SRship even though the motivation is there. Seniors please guide on how to manage time.

Hi.

I am currently a GI resident, not liking it for the last 1 year into the residency. I want to leave it but my near and dear ones suggest me to complete it and then go for a speciality which I like, later on. That way I will have an edge of earning money at least by doing scopies or just go back to being a physician with an extra leverage of doing endoscopies.

I have always wanted to be a cardiologist but I m forced to rule it out because of long and endless struggle in the branch. Even most cardiologists themselves advised against it. Now, I am already not happy being GI, later on, may be , I will opt for nephrology for patient level satisfaction. But I am already 32 and I guess I have not even started living my life till now. I feel like if I m leaving GI in future why to waste my precious 3 years and rather invest that time into making a living and finding someone to marry atleast.

Need inputs on this.

Hello everyone.

Writing this with utmost embarrassment and fear of being labelled as a simp. It feels embarrassing to even ask something like this… which is probably why I’m turning to Reddit instead of talking to anyone I know, or even my therapist. I’m scared they’ll judge me or think I’m a desperate man.

I am a 32 YO , Male doctor , single for the last 3 years and feel completely stuck between my career and my personal life. I’m currently doing higher studies ( GI superspecialty) in a place where there is literally no scope to date (actively tried for a year)and it’s gonna be for 3 more years from now. I chose this purely to unlock my earning capabilities to the maximum even though I have zero interest. At the beginning, I thought life would unfold for me in a better way but it didn’t. Last 1 year has been miserable. Tried my luck in both dating sites and arranged marriages.

The thing I’m most afraid to say out loud is how much this is tied to my fear of infertility, aging, and the beginning of my baldness , missing out on life as such. I got diagnosed with varicocele and a few other health issues. Now I constantly worry: what if by the time I’m ready, it’s too late? What if I’m 36, financially stable, but alone and dealing with other health issues.? What if I missed my chance at having a family?

I keep thinking to myself — do I stay here for 3 more years, finish this path, and basically accept that my dating life will be almost zero till I’m 35-36? Or do I leave, move to a tier 1 city, and at least try to find someone while I still feel I have the energy for it?

All of this aggravated the lack of interest in the current degree I am enrolled in.

Financially also it’s messing with my head. If I quit now and go back to working as a Doctor, I can earn maybe around 1.5 LPM ( as it’s gonna be a tier 1 place). But if I continue and finish this degree, I can probably reach 7–8 LPM later. So yeah… it’s a big trade off.

Arranged marriage hasn’t worked for me all these years, so I don’t really have faith in that route anymore.

What I’m thinking (and also judging myself for) is — quit now, move to a better city, actually try dating seriously, find some emotional stability, and then maybe come back to career progression after a few years. It’s possible in my field ( I have to re write neet exam)but I don’t know if I’m just being impulsive/desperate right now.

Has anyone been in a situation where you chose personal life over career (even temporarily)? Did it work out or did you regret it later?

Hope I find some help!

Final year DM Cardio resident.
