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.
