Hello

During PG (MD/MS) , your working hours depend on your specialty, hospital and workload.

Here’s a general breakdown:

1. Regular Duty :  8–12 hours per day (morning rounds, patient management, surgeries or procedures).

2. On-Call Duties : Can extend to 24–36 hours in critical departments like surgery, medicine and ICU.

3. Night Shifts : Often once or twice a week, lasting from evening to morning.

4. Emergency Duties : You may have sudden extended shifts if patient load is high.

Yes, you can go to your room after duty but during busy rotations, you might be called back. Work-life balance improves in later years of residency.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.
