can a bio medical engineering student become doctor

Hi

No, with bio- medical engineer degree you don't become a doctor.

To become a doctor, you need to do mbbs. ( in case,if you want to become a dentist then you need to do BDS, BHMS to become a homeopathic doctor, BAMS  to become Ayurvedic doctor ,BVSc to become a veterinarian ). Admission in all the medical colleges for Mbbs/ bds / bams /bvsc is through NEET examination.

But no worries

Even after your bio - medical engineering, you can do mbbs and can become a doctor provided you had biology/biotechnology in your 12th.Even if you didn't have biology/biotechnology in 12th then you can pass biology as an  additional subject from NIOS and then you will be eligible for mbbs.

Here's how you can become a doctor

*Appear in Neet examination

• To be eligible you should have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got at least  50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology /biotechnology in 12th examination  if belongs to general category , or   at least  40%  in aggregate of PCB if belongs to  Obc/ Sc /st category.
