Hello Piyush,

To specialize in oncology in India, you generally need to follow a conventional path that involves completing an MBBS, which requires clearing the NEET exam. After earning your MBBS degree, you would then pursue an MD in General Medicine or a DNB, followed by a super-specialization in Oncology (DM in Medical Oncology).

If you're considering an alternative route, you might explore pursuing your MBBS abroad in countries where NEET isn't required. However, you would still need to pass the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) to practice in India after completing your degree.

Another option is if you already hold a medical degree in a different specialization. In such cases, you can look into oncology-related fields, like surgical oncology or radiation oncology, which have different entrance exam requirements.

In summary, while it’s challenging to pursue oncology without NEET for MBBS, there are pathways through international education. Always check with the National Medical Commission (NMC) and relevant medical authorities for the latest requirements and regulations.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello aspirant,

The eligibility for pursuing an MSc (Master of Science) in Oncology can vary depending on the specific admission requirements of the university or institution offering the program. In most cases, an MSc in Oncology is a specialized program that focuses on cancer research, treatment, and related fields.

While a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (BSc MLT) can provide a strong foundation in healthcare and medical sciences, it may not be the most direct pathway to an MSc in Oncology. Typically, candidates who pursue MSc in Oncology have a background in fields like biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, medicine, or a related discipline.

To be eligible for an MSc in Oncology, you may need to meet specific prerequisites, which could include having a relevant undergraduate degree, coursework in certain science subjects, and potentially some prior experience or exposure to cancer-related research or healthcare.

Thank you

Hope it helps you
