Doctors of r/indianmedschool, how much do you make? (Anonymous salary thread)
I'm curious to get a realistic picture of what doctors in India actually earn across different specialties and career stages.
If you're comfortable sharing, please mention:
- Specialty/Branch:
- Years of experience: (after PG/SS, or mention if MBBS)
- City tier: (Tier 1/2/3, or state/city if you're okay sharing)
- Work setup: Government / Private hospital / Corporate / Own clinic / Academia / Mixed
- Average monthly or annual income: (gross or in-hand—please specify)
- Typical working hours per week:
- Any additional income: (consultations, procedures, locums, teaching, etc., if applicable)
It would be great if people from all branches and experience levels could contribute—not just the highest earners. The aim is to help medical students and junior doctors set realistic expectations about careers in medicine in India.
Thanks in advance!
