Hi Dharini,

Till now,  there is no lateral entry option to get into a mbbs course.

So, if you wish to pursue mbbs/bds courses you still have to qualify neet entrance exam with good marks and ranks.

However, the NEP is planning to make a 2year foundation course for nursing and dentistry students to give them a direct/lateral entry in mbbs for rest of 2 years duration;(only nursing and dentistry students).

But , right now this rule is not passed and accepted as it is highly oppsed by mbbs students nationwide.

So, ultimately right now you cannot get any kind of lateral entry into mbbs course on the basis of your b.pharma degree.

The only way to get a seat for mbbs in any medical college of India is to clear the neet entrance.

Good luck.
