    MBBS course is the foundational Medical degree, typically spanning 5.5 years, including a 1-year internship. MBBS prepares students to become general physicians. MD is a PG degree pursued after MBBS, usually lasting 3 years, where doctors specialize in a particular field like internal medicine, paediatrics, or radiology, gaining deeper knowledge and clinical expertise. DM is a super-speciality degree, pursued after MD, typically taking 3 years, focusing on an even narrower field.

    Candidates can check the table below to see the comparison of the three courses.
