The course duration of the normal medical course (MBBS) is usually of five and a half (5.5) years. In the first four and half years, you will be taught all the theoretical and the practical intricacies that you'll be needing when you finally become a doctor. And in the fifth year, you'll be required to complete an internship, in which you'll be attending to the patients under the college which you are attending. One more thing, the 2nd year of the MBBS course is actually of 1.5 years, that is the reason of 5.5 years and not 5.

Hope I have answered your question. All the best!
