Why must we do a two-year bond service as an all-India open category MBBS candidate in CMC Vellore?
Though a 2-year bond may seem undesirable for an MBBS student at CMC Vellore, it is quite fair. AFMC has in place a 7-year bond period. In addition to this, several state medical colleges have a bond period as well.
I completed a 2 year bond period after my MBBS from CMC Vellore in 2017. The bond period is a great time for learning. It transformed a fresh MBBS graduate like me into a clinician/surgeon. It is the perfect time to decide on MD specialization.
During my bond period, I worked for 2 years in a secondary hospital where the patient profiles were very diverse. The hospital I worked at receives patients with MIs, DKA, Strokes, PUOs, CKD, RTAs with polytrauma and head injuries, etc.
By the end of my bond period, I had received so much exposure that I knew which PG specialization I wanted to opt for. It is much better than sitting at home and mugging books. Practical knowledge is essential in the field of medicine.
My experience has helped shape me as a clinician. Thus, I would suggest you do not regret choosing CMC Vellore because of the 2-year bond period.

I had the same question about the bond upon joining CMC Vellore. However, I realized that it is fair on the part of CMC to put up such requirements.
You must be aware that there is a 7-year bond in AFMC, but one does not go about questioning the defense/health ministry on this topic. Numerous states have imposed a similar bond period after realizing its utility of it.
Your post-UG days should be spent among patients instead of sitting at home and mugging books. You’ll learn much more through practice. Through practice, you’ll understand which field interests you. Thus, you won’t attend your PG counseling with a mindset of opting for the branch that comes to you by fate.
The two-year bond service is a blessing in disguise. It will shape you into a better medical professional.
