In India, the veterinary sector is not new. For decades, it’s been there, just that it’s not that popular. Back then, very few used to try it, but now, the situation is changing slowly. Now, with a rise in the awareness of animal rights and its relevance for the environment, slowly and steadily, the popularity of veterinary courses among young animal lovers in India is increasing.
This is a little contention around this field and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but it is not incorrect to say that MBBS is easier as compared to a veterinary course, if one goes by the evidence and situations in the real environment. There are several noteworthy points available that indicate that it is still easier to pursue MBBS than the veterinary course. Below are some of these points.
- Compared to veterinary work, an MBBS degree promises better career opportunities in diverse areas.
- As it deals with humans, MBBS is a little easy to try over the veterinary field.
- Compared to MBBS, veterinary is complicated when animals do not speak about their issues. The veterinarian needs to recognise the symptoms and even the anatomy, physiology, etc. of their patients. This make a huge difference in their practice.
- Compared to the veterinary industry, the healthcare industry still enjoys a large budget as it adds to the GDP more than the veterinary sector.
- As doctors of society, doctors with an MBBS degree get even more respect. The same can’t be said for veterinary medicine.
- An MBBS doctor’s salary is higher in the medical sector, as compared to that of a veterinary.

The second priority is animals. Yet, the fact that people are now more conscious of the importance of animals to nature, and now the situation is slowly shifting.
