Hi

To become a doctor you need to do mbbs and for that you need to be eligible for neet.

Yes you can definitely pursue MBBS and become a doctor even after BSc  optometry provided you fulfill Neet eligibility criteria.

But yes,

Even after bsc you will have to take the same route of qualifying neet as of that of class 12th student.

Here's how you can get admission in MBBS :-

------------------------------) Appear in Neet examination

• To be eligible for neet one must be either appearing for  12th board examination  or 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.
