Im giving my 11th exams and about to come in 12th. Im preparing for NEET from Allen kota. Now i want to ask, whether I can appear for MCAT after 12th. What is this exam ? Like will this exam give me MBBS degree or MD ? Or do I have to also complete some basic UG before appearing for MCAT?

anirudha vats 27th Mar, 2021

Hi,

Well MCAT is given by students who wish to pursue MD from American medical school and to even think of doing a MD, a student need to have completed his or her bachelor's degree along with pre medicine track. So you need to first complete your bachelors with pre medicine track in US and then take the MCAT test to get admission in MD course.

I hope this helps.

All the best.

Hi,

Well you can go for any course in any stream for your undergraduate degree but make sure to have pre medicine track along with the course so that you become eligible to apply for medical school once you graduate and give mcat exam. Any degree course will work but biology related fields would be more helpful.
