I am studying in 9th standard from Himachal Pradesh Board. I am weak in studies but my aim is to become a Doctor. I want to know that what percentage I have to secure in my 10th Board exam from this Board so that I can achieve my aim?

To become doctor in future you have to appear and qualify in NEET examination which is conducted by CBSE for admission in medical courses.

The eligibility to appear in examination is that candidate must have passed or appearing for 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as main paper with minimum 50%.

There is no minimum required aggregate in 10th board to appear in examination.

There is no minimum marks need in class 10 exam to become doctor. To become Doctor, follow the below steps.

Steps to become Doctor:

>> Complete class 12 exam with PCB( Physics, Chemistry, Biology) with minimum 60% marks in aggregate.
>> Appear in NEET , AIIMS and various medical entrance tests and get admission in any good medical college.
>> Pursue a doctor course of your interest like MBBS, BDS, MD etc..
>> Obtain License to start practicing medicine.

*** As you are currently studying class 9, my advice for you is to concentrate in your present study and try to improve your study skills. So, in future, you will get admission in good medical college easily.

In order to become a doctor first of all you will have to start studying very hard as if you do not take studies seriously then you will have to face lots of issues in future.

However, for you information I would want you to know that you will have to score a minimum of 60% in your 10th as well as 12th board examination in order to be atleast eligible to appear for medical entrance test and then after clearing the examination with good marks you will be able to get admission in some good college/university to continue with your studies further.

So, take things seriously and start to work hard.

For MBBS 10th and 12th marks not matter .

Eligibility Criteria for MBBS:-

Pass 12th with minimum 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Candidate age should be above 17 years and below 25 years.

Entrance Exam for MBBS:-

AIIMS- All India Institute of Medical Science Entrance Exam

AIMS - Amrita Institute of Medical Science

AFMC - Armed Forces Medical College Exam

AMU Medical Entrance Exam


DUMET- Delhi University Postgraduate Medical Entrance Test

JIPMER- Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research

SRM Institute of Science and Technology Medical Entrance Exam

Medical Entrance Exam in Delhi.

Actually percentage of 10th does not matter in your PMT or any medical entrance exam because percentage of 12th is taken as base for filling of the application form of NEET entrance.
So try to score more than 50% in your 10th as well as 12th percentage if you want to appear in the entrance test.

10th board marks is not compulsory. You have to pass 12th board with at least 65 percent marks to get admission in MBBS. After completing 12th you have to clear NEET entrance test then only you will get admission in any of the good colleges.
It is compulsory to have Physics, Chemistry, Biology as main stream in 12th. As because without having Biology you will not be eligible to appear in NEET entrance examination.

Class 10th board exams marks has nothing to do with becoming a Doctor in future. You can get admission in a good school, if you have got good class 10th marks and nothing more than that.

You have to take admission in PCB stream to become eligible for medical profession. Admission in MBBS is through entrance exams like NEET. Your class 12th marks will be more important than class 10th, because it will help you to get admission in a medical college.
