Dear Aspirant

For applying at the MBBS colleges in the US, an aspirant must be a science graduate. Most of the prestigious colleges and universities give admission to graduates for the MBBS (MD) course on the basis of Science graduation in addition to MCAT Score.

The medical courses are taught in English. MBBS students need to show their fluency in English by scoring well in TOEFL, IELTS /and other English proficiency exams.

Minimum 7.0 Marks in IELTS/ Minimum 700 Marks in TOEFL Required. These minimum marks criteria varies from School to School , so you need to check their respective Medical school website for the same.

Where as per MCI requirement one should be 10+2 with minimum 50% in Physics , Chemistry & Biology and NEET Pass.

The requirement for taking admission in the USA is that an applicant must have cleared MCAT . Most of US Medical Schools requires the Medical College Admission Test – MCAT. MCAT Exam held several times in a Year in various US Centers and at some locations outside US. If you are having MBBS degree or perusing MBBS then you can register without seeking special permission from AAMC (http://www.aamc.org/) – Association of American Medical Colleges (www.aamc.org) otherwise you will need permission from AAMC.

Hope this helps

Abhishek, Psychiatry is a Specialisation after MBBS. NEET is the entrance examination for admission to MBBS,BDS, Ayush and Veterinary courses across India. So to be eligible for NEET, you should have completed your 12th, passed in all subjects and secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. It is 50% for General Category, 45% for PWD and 40% for OBC,SC,ST. Now if you belong to OBC Category, the Category you belong to should be also listed in the Central OBC list. Or else you will be considered as General Category and so you have to secure a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This 50% is inclusive of the Theory and Practical marks scored in Physics, Chemistry and Biology collectively. You needn't score 50% in Physics, 50% in Chemistry and 50% in Biology separately. You need an aggregate of 50% or 40% depending on your Category as an aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. And along with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, you should also have studied English as one of the core subjects in your 12th. Once you appear for NEET and secure a seat in MBBS, you study MBBS for 50 months and then after 1 year of mandatory rotational internship, you are a qualified MBBS Professional. Post this, you have to appear for NEXT which will be the mode of admission to MD in Psychiatry after MBBS. Right now it is NEET PG but it will be replaced by NEXT.

To become a psychiatrist, the qualifications you need to have and subsequently the courses you need to pursue are:

1. Bachelors in Medicine and Surgery i.e MBBS
2. MD in psychiatry or Diploma in psychological medicine (DPM) or DNB Psychiatry

Firstly you need to appear for NEET UG to get an MBBS seat and complete the 5 and half year course, and then pursue further courses. After attaining all the degrees, you will get a lisence to practice in all the states of India.

I hope this helps you!
