Hey Rishabh,





  • A candidate is eligible for taking the MCAT if he/she plans to attend a health professional
  • Aspirants are required to have an undergraduate degree before applying. Applicants usually complete the following courses before applying to US medical schools:


One year of biology



One year of physics



One year of English

  • Two years of chemistry (through organic chemistry).


Special Permission



If you arent planning to apply to a health professions school or if you're a currently enrolled medical student (other than a MBBS degree program), you must obtain "special permission" to register for the MCAT exam.



  • To request special permission, please send an email to mcat@aamc.org, stating the reason(s) you wish to take the exam. The MCAT exam office will attempt to review and respond to your request within five business days, although during certain times we may be delayed in our ability to reply within this time frame. We therefore ask that you be mindful of registration deadlines, because staff cannot extend closing dates for any reason.


  • Technically you require 4 years of undergraduate study to be eligible. However, my suggestion is that you apply for special permission, stating that you are a student for B.Sc. Medical Microbiology and also the duration of study and that you want to apply for a Medical School.


I hope you find this helpful. All the best!

Rishabh, basically MCAT is for admissions into medical school in the US. So, basically, what you do here in India as MBBS, you do medical school in the US. You can choose a field in allopathic, osteopathy, veterinary courses in the US. However, it is a much tedious procedure.

Rishabh, there isn't any need to crack NEET if you are applying for MCAT. NEET is only for admissions to medical, dental and ayush Colleges in India.
