MBBS stands for Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. The total duration of MBBS course is 5 1/2 years. Out of these 5 1/2 years, 4 1/2 years is of class room study followed by a year of rotating internship. The 4 1/2 years of class room study is broken into three phases of 18 months each. Each Phase of 18 months is known as Professional and is further divided into 3 semesters of 6 months each. There is a semester exam at the end of each semester and a Professional exam at the end of each professional. The third professional is devoted to monthly clinical work in the wards and departments of hospitals. So, we can say that the total duration of MBBS course is 5 1/2 years.
