What is MBBS?

MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) is the degree you need to practise as a doctor in India. It takes four and a half years of study plus a one-year compulsory rotating internship.

How seats are filled

There is no direct admission. Every MBBS seat, government or private, goes through NEET UG and counselling.
