Dear,

It takes 4.5 years of study plus one year of internship to complete the MBBS degree. Following MBBS, there are two options. One is doing a postgraduate degree, ie an MS in General Surgery. An MS takes 3 years to complete. After finishing MS, you will need to do an MCh degree in Neurosurgery. MCh is basically super-speciality. It takes 3 years to finish the MCh. So it takes 5.5 + 3 + 3 years minimum to be qualified to practise neurosurgery. Needless to say, becoming a neurosurgeon in India takes a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work. Its not just many years of training, it is also difficult to get into a good college for MBBS, and even more to secure a MS seat.

Hope this helps.
