There is no direct MBBS after Class 12 in the USA. Students first complete a bachelor’s degree, then a four-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) program.
Why students consider USA
- World-class medical education and research
- Strong career prospects for those who match into US residency
Check before you apply
- Total time of about eight years after school (bachelor’s plus MD)
- Very high costs and limited seats for international students
- Entrance requirements such as the MCAT
- Practising in India afterwards still requires meeting NMC rules
Always verify: confirm the university’s current eligibility under NMC rules (nmc.org.in), its official fees, and the latest Indian government travel advisory for USA before paying anything.
