Hello guys,
I am very much interested in Medicine
but could not get MBBS degree.
Now after 15 years of my 12th I want to do MBBS.
Please tell me is it possible for me or not?

Yes, as per the Government medical colleges there is no such age limit for a student who want to go for MBBS degree, only the candidate should be more than 17 years old that's it. As you have finished your class 12th 15 years before so you are eligible for the MBBS.

AIPMT(All India Pre-Medical Test) conducted by CBSE for admission in different courses in different medical or dental colleges in India .

Eligibility criteria for applying AIPMT:-

i)Candidate must have completed 10+2 degree with minimum of 50% marks with PCB(Physics,Chemistry,Biology).

ii)Candidates appearing for 10+2 are also eligible .

iii)Candidate must have attained age of 17 years.

iv)Candidate must not have attained age of 25 years (Age relaxation of 5 years for Reserved category candidates).

It will not be possible for for you ,if belonging to general category, to apply for AIPMT as you will above 25 years of age and so doesn't fulfill the eligibility criteria.

As you have neither mentioned your current age nor the year in which you had completed your +2, therefore it is quite difficult to provide you with the exact information.

However, the age limit for doing MBBS course is 17 years to 30 years, so if in fall anywhere in between, than you can most probably do this course.

As per age criteria, you are not eligible for MBBS entrance exam.

Candidates who have completed 12th standard with above 50% marks are eligible for MBBS entrance exam but your 12th standard subject are Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. For SC/ST candidate this percentage is reduced to 40%.

Your age should be in between 17 to 26 years. No age relaxation provide for reserved category.

The maximum age limit to apply MBBS course admission is 25 years(30 years for reserved category candidates) as specified by the Medical Council of India(MCI). But, I think now you are already above 30 years. So, as a candidate who has above 30 years of age, now you are not eligible to pursue MBBS course in India.
