Hello sir, I want to study Neurosurgery course. Please tell me how to become it after 12th with Science? Will I have to qualify NEET exam?

Neurosurgery or neurology is the branch of medicine. To study neurology or to become Neurologist you must first become a medical doctor. After completing your 12th standard with medical stream you have to qualify the medical entrance exam to pursue Bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery that is 5 and half years course. Then go for MD or Ms or DNB in general medicine and after that go for specialisation in this field that is neurology. So you can make out that it is a very long process so you have to appear in the entrance exam and if by chance you are not able to qualify the entrance exam then you have to take admission in management quota seat to complete your MBBS degree.
