Oncology is the branch of medicine science that deals with study and precautions of Cancer Disease.Only medical professionals who have completed their 5 years MBBS Medical course will be able to take admission in this course.

Thus there is no any special course after 12th in which you will able to take admission for doing this course.You will have to do MBBS Course.For taking admission in MBBS Course you will have to qualify CBSE NEET Exam.To apply for this exam,you will require to meet these conditions :-

• Candidates should have a pass out/Final year appearing in 10+2 with Physics,Chemistry and Biology.
• Candidates minimum marks should be 50%.
• Candidates minimum age should be 17 years.

After completing MBBS Course you will have to apply for OCTT Course.OCTT stands for Oncology Clinical Trials Training.Total duration of this course will be 1 year.Eligibility required for taking admission in this course will be :-

• Candidates should have a degree in Medicine/Surgery such as MBBS/BAMS/BUMS/MD/MDS etc.

After 12th completion take admission in MBBS then prepare for neet exam.If you got 3000-4000 all indian rank then take admission general surgeon MS after complete that take admission in your field ..
