About this doctor

I'm currently a second year MD Microbiology resident at a central government medical college. Like most residents, my days revolve around busy lab postings, academics, thesis work, seminars, and trying to balance it all. Over the past two years, I've worked across different sections of the microbiology laboratory, giving me a realistic understanding of what residency is actually like beyond brochures, rankings and social media.
I still remember how confusing the NEET PG counselling process felt. Trying to compare colleges, understand work culture, academics, patient load, and future opportunities, all while making one of the biggest decisions of my career. Having gone through that journey myself, I'd like to help aspirants make decisions with practical, honest guidance. I would like to make the counselling process a little less overwhelming by sharing insights that I wish I had back then.
