Hie Monty,

It is easier said than done but here's how:-

Earn a Bachelor's Degree (MBBS)
As an aspiring psychiatrist, you'll need to take 12th courses in biology, chemistry, math and physics to meet medical collage admissions requirements.

You then have to give an entrance exam called NEET for admissions in a medical college in India.

After you complete M.B.B.S. which is a five and a half years course, you have answer yet another entrance Examination i.e. NEET PG and then Pursue a M. D. in Psychiatry which is a 3 years course.

After which you have to Complete a Residency. You then Obtain a License and Become Board Certified.

There is a lot of studying involved. It takes a lot dedication and hard work but with the right kind of motivation and determination, you can succeed. All the very best for your future endeavors.

Hope this was helpful!

To become psychiatrist, you should have to join mbbs first as your undergraduate course. On sucessful completion of mbbs and internship, you have to give Neet pg exam and be in merit list for getting postgraduate seat of MD psychiatry in medical college through all india quota or state quota counselling.

Hope you understood..

Good luck..
