I have completed my 10th board exam and wants to become Doctor by studying MBBS. So, which Science group subjects should I opt in Intermediate? PCB or PCM?

The basic education required to pursue MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) degree course is a Class 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main subjects will at least 50% marks from a recognised board of examination. Marks relaxation upto 10% is allowed in case of reserved category candidates.

So, to pursue MBBS degree course, you first need to complete your Class 12th in Science stream with PCB combination and then you need to qualify medical entrance examination such as NEET UG, AIIMS or JIPMER MBBS entrance examination.

Eligibility conditions to study MBBS:

<> Candidates must have completed their class 12 from CBSE/ISC/State board with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English as the main subjects. Math is not compulsory in intermediate to apply for MBBS.

<> Minimum Marks in intermediate to apply for MBBS - 60% for General and OBC Candidates, 50% for SC/ST Candidates and 45% for PWD candidates.

MBBS stands for Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degree and to pursue MBBS degree course the minimum education required is a higher secondary school degree in Science stream with PCB ( Physics, Chemistry, and Biology ) group from a recognized board of education.

So, you need to opt for PCB group instead of PCM group for your intermediate studies in order to pursue MBBS degree course later on.
