Hello Aspirant,

No, you are not allowed till date to pursue BSc in Biochemistry along with MBBS.

UGC allows 2 simultaneous degrees only if :

Degree/Diploma programs under ODL/Online mode must be pursued with only those institutes which are recognised by UGC/Statutory Council/Govt. of India.

The official document states :A student can pursue two academic programmes, one in full time physical mode and another in Open and Distance Learning (ODL)/Online mode; or up to two ODL/Online programmes simultaneously.

These guidelines are applicable for all academic programs except Ph.D.

However, UGC has given university flexibility to decide further whether students will be given permission or not.


Till now, no university allows one to pursue other degree course along with MBBS in India.

No,if you are studying for the NEET MBBS exam and have registered in B.Sc via distance course, and have been offered an mbbs seat at the same time. You can drop out of your B.Sc programme and apply for MBBS admission. At the time of NEET MBBS admission, you must produce your college's graduation certificate.

It's not legal to do both at same time. Just focus on MBBS and crack it.
