I’m currently in a situation where I’m really confused about my career and would appreciate some honest advice from people who are already studying/working in medicine or pharmacy in India.

My father strongly wants me to take admission in a private MBBS college. However, I personally don’t want to pursue MBBS. I’m more interested in pharmacy, and I’m considering doing B.Pharm and eventually going into areas like pharmaceutical research, industry, higher studies, or possibly government/research work.

The problem is that my father believes MBBS is the “better” and safer career and keeps pushing me toward it.

For some context, my academics are:

• Class 10: 71%
• Class 12: ~80%
• Biology: I genuinely like it
• Chemistry: I can manage it fairly well; I scored 87/100 in Class 12
• Inorganic Chemistry: I absolutely hate it 😭
• NEET 2026: 262 marks

I don't consider myself exceptionally intelligent or academically brilliant. I'm more of an average student who can do well in subjects I actually find interesting.

My questions:

1. Should I seriously consider B.Pharm as a career in India?

I know pharmacy isn't simply “MBBS but easier,” and I'm trying to understand what the actual career prospects are like. Is B.Pharm worth doing if I'm interested in pharmaceutical sciences, research, drug development, quality control, etc.?

2. How difficult would MBBS actually be for someone like me?

I do like biology and can handle chemistry, but I don't particularly enjoy the idea of studying medicine for 5–6+ years and then possibly doing PG. I also don't have a strong desire to become a doctor.

Would someone with my academic background (71% in 10th, ~80% in 12th, 87/100 in chemistry) realistically be able to complete MBBS if they worked consistently?

Or is liking biology/being able to handle chemistry not enough to make MBBS a good choice?

3. If I don't want to become a doctor, is there any real reason to choose private MBBS over B.Pharm?

The private MBBS fees being discussed in my case are extremely high, so I'm also worried about putting that kind of financial burden on my family for a career I don't even want.

I'd especially appreciate responses from B.Pharm students, pharmacists, pharma-industry professionals, medical students, residents, or doctors in India.

Please be honest about both sides. I'm not looking for someone to simply tell me “follow your passion.” I want to understand the actual career prospects, salary/growth, higher-study options, job stability, and long-term reality of B.Pharm vs MBBS in India.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I'm considering joining the Biotechnology Integrated Program (B.Tech + M.Tech) at KIIT University and would really appreciate honest feedback from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the university.

I have a few questions:

• How is the Biotechnology department overall?
• Are the professors knowledgeable and supportive?
• How is the teaching quality and lab infrastructure?
• Do students get opportunities for research projects, internships, and publications?
• What are the placement opportunities like for Biotechnology students?
• How competitive is the academic environment?
• How are the students and campus culture? Is it easy to make friends and join clubs?
• How is hostel life, food, and overall student experience?
• Are there any major drawbacks or things you wish you knew before joining?
• If given the chance, would you choose KIIT Biotechnology again?

I'm interested not only in academics but also in campus life, extracurricular activities, networking opportunities, and personal growth.

Please share both positive and negative experiences. I'd prefer honest opinions rather than promotional reviews.

Thank you!

Just finished watching Iron Fist Season 2, and honestly, I think Davos is one of the most misunderstood Marvel Netflix villains.

Yeah, what he did was brutal, and stealing the Iron Fist from Danny Rand was obviously wrong, but if you really think about it, his intentions at the beginning actually made sense. Unlike Danny, Davos truly believed the Iron Fist should be used as a weapon to completely wipe out crime and fear. And for a while… it actually worked. Criminals were terrified of him, gangs were collapsing, and the streets became safer through pure fear and force.

What makes Davos interesting is that he’s basically the opposite side of Danny Rand’s ideology. Danny constantly hesitates, doubts himself, leaves New York, and struggles with responsibility. Davos sees that hesitation as weakness. In his mind, if you have the power to stop evil and you choose mercy over action, then innocent people continue to suffer because of you. That mindset is extreme, but you can understand why he thinks that way after growing up in K’un-Lun and dedicating his whole life to becoming the Iron Fist.

I also think the show subtly implies that the Iron Fist itself corrupted him. Once he got the power he became obsessed with “purifying” the city, and his sense of justice slowly turned into fanaticism. He stopped seeing people as humans and started seeing them as either pure or impure. That’s when he crossed the line from anti-hero into villain.

Honestly, that’s why I think Davos was more compelling than a lot of MCU villains. He wasn’t evil just for the sake of being evil. He genuinely believed he was saving the city and that Danny was unworthy of the Iron Fist. In another story, someone like Davos could’ve easily been written as the main hero instead of the antagonist.

The tragic part is that he might’ve actually become a great protector if his obsession, pride, and the power of the Iron Fist hadn’t consumed him completely.

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask about B.Pharmacy admission at Indus University.

My situation is a bit confusing and I'm feeling stressed. I scored around 80% in my 12th boards, but I didn't score well in GUJCET. I also took a drop year for NEET, but honestly I'm not expecting a good score in NEET either. I also didn't give JEE.

Since I've already taken one drop year, I can't afford to take another drop due to financial reasons. So now I'm planning to go for B.Pharmacy, and I'm considering Indus University as one of my options.

I wanted to ask:

• Is it difficult to get B.Pharmacy admission in Indus University with 80% in boards but low GUJCET score?
• Do they consider board marks for admission?
• How are the placements for B.Pharmacy?
• How are the teachers and academics?
• How is the campus life, fests, and overall environment?
• Is Indus University a good option for B.Pharmacy overall?

If anyone is currently studying there or has any information, please share your experience. It would really help me a lot in making my decision.

Thank you 🙏
