Medicine is not something one should go into unless one is really invested in the idea of being a doctor. It is a tough course and hard life to begin with and we already have way too many doctors practising for the wrong reasons. Studying law is relatively easier and you can later branch into other career choices too based on your affinity, be it management, policy work, and many others. Getting a job after an NLSIU LLB degree will be easier, though in the long run a lot of people would say that relatively more people make more money as practising doctors than as lawyers, assuming that is a factor for you. I would suggest that you talk personally with people in the respective professions as well as those studying it at present and then take a call.

Cracked NLS by fluke? Aap hardworking ho ya genius? Maybe consider if you have a legitimate flair for law, because this is incredible.

Consider this - Legal Studies will be 5-7 years, based on your career choices. Employment options can be unpredictable. Corporate jobs pay quite well, but can be hectic and with very little work/life balance. Litigation is very difficult as a first generation lawyer, from the earnings perspective. Can take almost a decade to hit decent monthly/annual income goals. And legal practice is different from medical practice, and I will take the risk of saying that people do think that the world will work without lawyers, but doctors are indispensable.

Futher, medical studies can go up to 11 years - 5.5 Years MBBS, 2 years MD, Another 2-3 years in super-specialisation. Basis current scenario, it has been observed that a lot of people are not confident in practicing right after MBBS. They must pursue higher studies. And this is where it gets quite crazy, since we have very few MD seats against total number of candidates. But I really disagree with this - medical practice can start with MBBS, just like LLB.

So you need to consider your interests, financial goals, and how much you account for society's perception. Good luck.
