Is there any course other than mbbs or going through Neet examination to become surgeon.
NEET 2024: Cutoff (OBC, SC, ST & General Category)
NEET 2024 Admission Guidance: Personalised | Study Abroad
NEET 2025: Syllabus | Most Scoring concepts | NEET PYQ's (2015-24)
Through Neet examination one can get admission in following courses:-
- MBBS
- BDS
- Ayush courses like BHMS, BAMS etc
- Veterinary i. e BVSc
States like Maharashtra also use neet for providing admission in BSC nursing etc.
But through non of these course you can directly become a surgeon on the completion of the course
This is because,
To become a surgeon you need to do MS i. e Masters in surgery which is a 3 year postgraduate program that you can get admission in after your MBBS.
Here's a brief of how you can become a surgeon :-
*First of all you need to do mbbs
*Admission in Mbbs is through NEET examination, So, along with your 10+2 keep preparing for Neet examination
* Pass your 12th with at least 50 % in aggregate of PCB ( in theory +practical) in 12th examination if you belong to general category , or at least 45% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to ph category or at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /st to be eligible for neet.
*Appear for Neet examination and qualify it
*Then attend counselling and then on the basis of marks or Rank obtained by you in NEET examination you will get a seat for MBBS in a medical college
* After the completion of MBBS, you need to appear for PG entrance examination, currently, some of the PG entrance examinations include:-
-) Neet PG ,
-) AIIMS PG
-)PGIMER
-)JIPMER PG.

* if you clear PG entrance examination then to become a surgeon, you need to do MS i. e Master of surgery which is a 3year long course. After the completion of your MS you can practice as a surgeon.
* you can even go for super specialisation in surgery like M. Ch i. e Magister Chirurgiae, which is a three year long duration course and doctors with MCH are those who are the best paid.
