Hi Rahul

The salary depends on several factors -

1. Seniority

2. Which sector one works like it can be government, academic, private/corporate etc.

3. Which city one works in

4. How trained one is

Given these variables, the take home salary for a neurosurgeon can vary between 85000 per month (newly qualified, government sector) to more than 30 lakhs per month (senior consultant, private sector, major city).

Hello student ,

As it depends upon the knowledge skills and experience of that person and also on the pay in the public sector or central service .

A cardiac surgeon who just passed out can definitely expect a starting salary at 1lac per month in a metropolis and much more if one can go to smaller cities and towns. Se nior cardiac surgeons in big hospitals in major cities might earn up to 5 lacs a month .

Hope it helps !

HYY,

Clear M.B.B.S. entrance.

Study to clear M.B.B.S. finals (trust me its a task in itself).

Then prepare for M.S. Surgery entrance & put yourself together to clear M.S. Surgery finals (a big deal).

Something still left in you?

Prepare for M.Ch. plastic surgery entrance & clear its finals (a bigger deal).

Minimum dedication of 14 years after 12th is required.

With NEET in enforcement pan India for all under graduate, post graduate & post doctoral entrance examinations, all back doors are virtually eliminated.

ALL THE BEST!!

Greetings, Raja.

It is really great that you have thought of your future with some clarity. With regard to your query, you need to keep some things in mind:

- In order to become a Neurosurgeon you will need to work extremely hard for the next 7-9 years of your life, Neurosurgeons are some of the smartest people on the planet and that role requires a certain level of maturity as well as dedication. My point is that by the time you become a neurosurgeon you'd have learned to appreciate the art of reading regularly and researching to keep yourself updated all the time for the sake of your patients - you will not find much time for your self as a neurosurgeon worth his salt.

- Those neurosurgeons who have so much money are well accomplished medical experts and to nothing in life comes without any strings attached - you may have a lot of money after 10 years but to keep earning that money you will have to work harder than most normal people who have time to travel and enjoy life.

Now, on a serious note:

- If you do become a neurosurgeon you will have to practice privately (open your own hospital, etc.) because government surgeons have fixed salaries.

pros of being a Govt. surgeon;

- more work to improve yourself and to help society

- more research opportunities which will require you to travel abroad at least once a year (if you are an expert in a field) for lectures, seminars, neuro surgeon meetings and things like that with government funds - this will be your chance to travel and see the world after you are done with your work there.

- job satisfaction

pros of being a private surgeon:

- you are your own boss

- you can charge as much money as you want

- you can take as many vacations as you want and use your money to travel the world

Bottom line is- at the age of 40, when you have enough money and a good reputation to have some fun, your life will throw new responsibilities like family, kids, old parents, clients, commitments, etc. which will put breaks on your plans for your own life. so

- Learn time management as early as possible

- learn to have fun while studying new things

- aim to become an expert in a filed so that people invite you all over the world

- be a good doctor and earn respect

best of luck for your future, great day to you!

Hello Aspirant

See both Neurologists ans Neurosurgeons diagnose and treat patients which involve the nervous system. However, Neurologists do not perform any surgery in the brain but they perform treatments or therapies whereas neuro surgeons perform surgeries for the conditions required.

So it is difficult to say who can get more holidays, you should decide on your field of interest.

Have a good future ahead.

Good luck!!
