Hi

I am extremely  sorry to inform you dear but there is nothing like lateral entry  in the course of MBBS so even if you have pursued your BSc nursing and to pursue MBBS ,there is no way other than Neet examination.

To help you further , if you plan to give Neet for MBBS I would like to tell you that for considering  your eligibility  for Neet ,your BSc nursing degree will not be taken account , you will be eligible for Neet only if you fulfill the given below criteria with your 12th qualification

you must have passed 12th board examination with physics, chemistry ,biology/biotechnology and English and must have got:-

-) at least 50  % in aggregate of PCB  i.e Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology  in 12th examination if belongs to general category

-) at least 40% in aggregate of PCB if belongs to Obc/ Sc /stcategory

-)at least 45 % in aggregate of PCB in case of general pwd candidates to be eligible.

Also,
There is no upper age limit for Neet 2021

So, if you fulfil  these criteria  then you are eligible for Neet and after qualifying Neet you can get admission in MBBS on the basis of rank obtained  by you in NEET but there is no  way other  than neet like lateral entry or anything like that .
