    How many seats of MD Psychiatrist in Gujarat

    Nikita shahi 16th Aug, 2025

    Hello dear, I hope you are doing well.

    When it comes to postgraduate medical seats, especially in Gujarat, the number of MD Psychiatry seats is slightly limited compared to more common branches like Medicine, Pediatrics, or Gynecology. Psychiatry has gained importance in recent years due to the growing awareness about mental health. As per the data available from NMC (National Medical Commission) and the state counseling authorities, Gujarat has around 70–90 MD Psychiatry seats distributed among government as well as private medical colleges. Some reputed colleges like

    • B. J. Medical College Ahmedabad,
    • M. P. Shah Medical College Jamnagar,
    • Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College

    Ahmedabad have Psychiatry departments offering PG seats. Seat numbers may vary slightly every year based on NMC approvals and renewals. If you are planning to pursue MD Psychiatry in Gujarat, I suggest you keep an eye on the official ACPPGMEC Gujarat website for counseling updates. This will give you the exact number of seats for the academic year.

    Thank you !

    Diff btw psychiatrist and psychologist

    Anjali Nagar 12th Dec, 2021

    Dear Candidate,

    Psychologist and psychiatrist are two entirely different jobs with a big main difference that a psychiatrist is a MBBS/MD doctor which gives them the right to prescribe medication to their patients whereas a psychologist does MA/MSc and then PhD. Thus, psychologist treat their clients with different therapies and are prohibited to prescribe medications. Both of them deal with disorders like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc...irrespective of the severity of the disorder. Only the counselors deal with less severe issues like marital issues, career issues, family issues, etc.

    can I become a psychiatrist without having to go through 5.5 years of MBBS?

    Tina 20th Sep, 2021

    Hi, Hope you are safe and doing good

    No,passing the MBBS is a pre-requisite for being considered for a PG seat in Psychiatry. So,it means without a MBBS degree you cannot be a Psychiatrist.

    But, definitely you can become a psychologist. For that you need to complete your Bachelors and Masters Degree in Psychology. And typically, you need to do an internship for couple of years.
    Psychology deals with behavior of a person an psychologists can apply their finding knowledge to a lot of services.

    And, after getting your degree and completing your internship you can be hired as a Clinical Psychologist or as a Counselor. Not only this,you can also be hired as an Industrial or Social Psychologist .

    Hope it helps
