Hi aspirant,.

Cardiac surgeons are one of the sought after medical professions requiring extensive knowledge and experience. The primary step towards being a Cardiac Surgeon is acquiring your MBBS degree from one of the institutes approved by the Medical Council of India.

Next, you are required to complete a three year MS Degree in General Surgery which is followed by a three year MCh degree in Cardiology (This is a 3+3 year model). Hence it takes an approximate of 11 years.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I hope you are doing well.

Several universities conduct admission/ entrance exams for various medical courses. you are needed to prepare and appear for such entrance examinations. Based on the performance in the entrance examination you  will get admissions. There are several other universities and colleges which consider some part of a Class 12 score to offer admissions.

NEET

JIPMER-EE

AIIMS-EE

NIMHANS-EE

SCTIMST-EE

The educational process to become a cardiac surgeon is one of the longest in the medical field. Cardiac surgeons must complete four years of medical school, a 5-year general surgery residency and a 2-3 year specialized cardio or cardiothoracic fellowship.
