Hi Parth,
MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) is a 4½ year programme followed by a year of rotating internship. The 4½ years of medical class room study is divided into 3 phases of 18 months each. Each professional, as it is called, is of 18 months duration and is divided into 3 semesters of 6 months each.

The 4½ years of medical class room study is divided into 3 phases of 18 months each. Each professional, as it is called, is of 18 months duration and is divided into 3 semesters of 6 months each. There is a test/exam called as Semester exam after the end of each semester. Examinations are held at the end of each ‘professional' and they are called Professional I or II or final examination. Last 1½ years i.e. third professional is devoted to monthly clinical work in the wards and departments of the hospital. In all there are 3 professional examinations, followed by practical and clinical examinations. 50 per cent marks are required to be procured in each subject both in written, oral and practical. The success, rate of passing MBBS in one attempt in all the three professional parts is, however, only 70 per cent and this is the optimal aggregate. Eligibility: The eligibility criteria are different for different colleges/ institutions. For AIPMT, students must have completed XII standard with subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English with at least 50% in PCB.
