Hello!

In order to be a surgeon,

1. First you have to appear for NEET UG exam after class 12 consisting of Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

2. After securing a good rank and marks, you need to take admission in a medical college who will offer you the MBBS degree.

3. Prepare for NEET PG exam and appear for it post MBBS.
