Hello,
If you want to be a psychiatrist then you have to choose Science stream with biology mandatory subject in undergrade course. So you can choose PCB in 11th. Then you have to give entrance examination for MBBS. Because MBBS is mandatory. After completing MBBS you can join 2 years foundation of general training after that 3 years of core training for psychiatry. Then you can do 3 years speciality training also. After all of these I'd studying and practical practicing you will be a good psychiatrist.
All the best.
