Career Options

After completing an MS in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in India, graduates have a wide range of career options, especially given the country's ongoing focus on improving maternal and newborn health. With India being home to over 1.3 billion people, the demand for skilled obstetricians and gynaecologists is high, particularly in both urban and rural settings. Graduates can work as obstetricians, gynaecologist physicians, or hospital registrars in public and private hospitals, playing a crucial role in reducing the Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR), which has seen improvement but remains a challenge at 113 per 100,000 live births. Careers in maternal health, where professionals can directly contribute to safer pregnancies and childbirth, are particularly rewarding.

Beyond clinical roles, MS graduates can contribute to healthcare programmes focused on maternal and newborn health, such as the National Rural Health Mission. They can also work with non-profit organisations or government bodies to enhance community health outreach, train auxiliary nurse-midwives, and support social health activists in rural areas. Additionally, roles in medical research, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare policy offer alternative pathways for those interested in broader systemic improvements in maternal care. This degree equips professionals to address India's critical healthcare needs while also providing ample career flexibility.

Graduates from this programme can pursue careers in various sectors such as:

  • Hospital Registrar
  • Gynaecologist Physician
  • Obstetrician
  • Medical Officer
  • Pharmaceuticals Sales Representative
  • Clinical Associate
