My question is, I am studying in class 11 (Arts stream). But my dream is to become a good doctor. Since I am currently studying Arts, are there any courses I can take to become a doctor? Also, I have been working at a medical shop for the past 5 months.
If you want to become a doctor (MBBS), then Arts stream is not eligible for that path. To study MBBS in India, you must have Physics, Chemistry and Biology (PCB) in class 11 and 12 and clear NEET.
What you can do now:
Option 1: Switch to science (PCB)
If possible, change your stream to PCB through your school or by taking NIOS (open schooling). After completing 12th with PCB, you can appear for NEET and try for MBBS.
Option 2: Other medical and healthcare courses (without MBBS)
If switching streams is not possible, you can still work in the medical field through courses like:
BSc Nursing (some colleges allow non-PCB via bridge courses)
BSc Psychology
BSc Medical Lab Technology
Pharmacy (DPharm/BPharm – PCB preferred but rules vary)
Hospital Administration
Public Health courses
