If you are in your 12th, you should have Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English as your core subjects. You should score a minimum of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now this aggregate in your 12th is important for you to be eligible for appearing for NEET exam. NEET is the entrance exam for admission to Medical, Dental, Ayush and Veterinary courses across India. To appear for NEET, you should be 17 years atleast by December 31st of the year of taking admission to Medical College. Once you get a seat and join MBBS, it is a 50 month course and 1year mandatory rotational internship. Post this you will have to qualify in NEXT for taking up Cardiology as a specialisation in your PG. For now, the entrance exam for PG courses is NEET PG but it will be replaced by NEXT in the next 3 years.

The working environment for neurosurgeons is quite pleasant with most of the patient interaction and surgeries happening inside well-equipped hospitals. However, work hours can be long and at times, neurosurgeons end up spending 50-60 hours (or even more, depending on the practice) in a week. Certain surgeries might take 3-4 hours, whereas the more complicated ones might even exceed 10 hours. Neurosurgeons might also be required to attend to emergencies during off-hours and weekends. However, the perks and the satisfaction offered, in the end, are unparalleled.

Raja, we have been discussing your career and aspirations for a while now and we appreciate that you want to take Career360's opinion on the matter of your career. So by now, you are aware of the fact what it takes to become a neurosurgeon and what it is to clear USMLE, practise as a resident in the US. We also have discussed the life style and the salary part. Now regarding the first half and later half of the career, we only wish we could predict our timeline on this planet. We do not which might be the first half or which might be the later part. But no wish is bad. If you want to achieve something, you should lest you regret for the rest of your lofe. Now to practise in the US, you may have to appear for USMLE, clear the step 1 and then practise as a resident before you can get the license to practise as a full time neurosurgeon. That is a long process that might take good 4-5 years. You study MBBS in India for 50 months and then complete the 1 year rotational internship and it takes you as many as 5 years. And appearing for USMLE and then working as a resident take another 4 years and so 10 years of your life are spent getting a valid license to practise in the US. And then lets say after 5 years you want to move to Singapore, that takes a whole different processing because you need to appear for their license exam. And you work in Singapore for lets say another 5 years and you come back to India. 15 years of your life are spent studying and getting licenses. But the beauty is within 15 years you can actually get license to practise in 3 countries. So you need to take a call. Or how about you finish MBBS in India, move to Singapore to study your MD/MS and plan on moving to the US? That way the transition is going to be smoother.

Hey!

To pursue PG MS in Australia after the completion of MBBS, you can attempt AMC MCQs Examination. It is the best option for pursuing medical degree in Australia. The best part is that this examination is not very tough to crack, and is a direct gateway to Medical colleges in Australia.

Hope this answer helps!

Hello Raja,

As Neurosurgeons are also doctors, so there is no any specific scheduled time for a doctor. Yes, there is maximum 8 hour schedule timing for every profession and even it applies for doctors. But being doctor is not just a profession but also an responsibility of service of saving life, So whenever duty calls, they need to attend the patient immediately.

Hope you get my point.

Thank you. GOOD LUCK!!

Dear Aspirant,

Becoming a doctor in USA after your studies are done in India is quite a tough job. In order to study and practice medicines in USA you must have to complete residency in USA and get state license. Getting a permanent residency license in USA is quite a tough job these days but it can easily get passed if the Senate passes the bill.

You can try opting for a course in USA after getting student pass and then apply for a residency certificate.

Wish you all the very best.

USA is much more better country among these for neurosurgeons
