I am studying bsc computer science can i eligible for MCAT

Hey Prajhot,

  • MCAT has some pre-medical prerequisite courses such as organic I ,II and biochemistry at a graduate level and some bio courses . No one can appear directly after XIIth .

The elligibility criteria are as follows:-

  • The candidate has to obtain special permission to register for the exam if he/she is not applying to a health professions school, or currently, enrolled as a medical student other than MBBS.

  • As per the MCAT eligibility criteria 2017, if an aspirant holds an MBBS degree currently pursuing an MBBS programme he/she might register for the MCAT 2017 without seeking special permission.

International students have to complete at least a four years undergraduate degree for admission to medical colleges in the US.

In order to apply for special permission, candidates can send an e-mail request to AAMC, stating the reasons to take the exam.

Email address to seek special permission:mcat@aamc.org

wht does "a four year undergraduate degree" means?

Undergraduate means College in India. You see, in the US, it takes a longer period of study to become a doctor. They do a pre-medical course, usually a duration of 3-4 years after which they pursue MBBS.

Hey there,

MCAT is for admission to MBBS colleges in the US and  Canada. If you finish MBBS in India, you rather give the USMLE exam. If you give MCAT, you repeat your MBBS study again which is longer.

Kritika Neet is compulsory with passing marks if you are willing to come back india
If you not sitted in NEET then your American mbbs degree is useless
If you want to settle down in US so then you don't required to give neet exam
