    No, one cannot become a surgeon without MBBS.

    Becoming a surgeon typically requires completing a medical degree, which is commonly an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) or an equivalent degree recognised in the respective country. The MBBS degree is the foundation of medical education and provides the necessary knowledge and training to pursue a career in various medical fields, including surgery.

    Hello,
    Becoming a surgeon requires too much of clinical skills and patience after 5.5 year of MBBS you need to go for MS. So please don't be impatient and keep learning.

    To become a doctor is a lengthy process. And to become a surgeon is much more lengthy process. That is the reason we call this profession as a practising profession. After completing MBBS you can go for MD and do your specialty. In India it takes atleast 6-7 years to practice as a full-fledged doctor.
