- MCAT has some pre-medical prerequisite courses such as organic I ,II and biochemistry at a graduate level and some bio courses . No one can appear directly after XIIth .
The elligibility criteria are as follows:-
- The candidate has to obtain special permission to register for the exam if he/she is not applying to a health professions school, or currently, enrolled as a medical student other than MBBS.
- As per the MCAT eligibility criteria 2017, if an aspirant holds an MBBS degree currently pursuing an MBBS programme he/she might register for the MCAT 2017 without seeking special permission.

wht does "a four year undergraduate degree" means?
Reply
Undergraduate means College in India. You see, in the US, it takes a longer period of study to become a doctor. They do a pre-medical course, usually a duration of 3-4 years after which they pursue MBBS.
like look if i'll be doing mbbs in india ...in b/w my degree ..would i be eligible to give MCAT?after MCAT ..we cn only do masters degree in canada or US equivalent to MD as i hv read tht thrs no criteria regarding mbbs in these countries..so cn u tell me how much tym will it take to complete my doctor study if after mbbs i give MCAT?
Hey there,
MCAT is for admission to MBBS colleges in the US and Canada. If you finish MBBS in India, you rather give the USMLE exam. If you give MCAT, you repeat your MBBS study again which is longer.

Do i have to first clear NEET and complete Indian medical school and then give MCAT or somwthing else? I also want to wnroll into an American medical school.
