Writing the UPSC exam after an MBBS degree is not a bad decision, but it depends on your career goals. If you are passionate about public service, policymaking, and administration, UPSC can offer a fulfilling career as an IAS, IPS, or IFS officer. However, leaving the medical field after years of rigorous study can be a tough choice. You may also consider medical services like UPSC CMS, which aligns with your expertise. The decision should be based on your interests, long-term goals, and willingness to switch from medicine to administration, as both fields have different demands and rewards.

Hello,

It is not a bad decision at all. Many doctors choose to write the UPSC exam after completing their MBBS.

If you are more interested in administration, policymaking, and serving the country on a larger scale rather than practicing medicine, then it can be a good choice.

However, it requires a lot of preparation and a complete shift from the medical field to governance. So, think carefully about your interest and long-term goals before making a decision.

ALL THE BEST !
