Medical colleges in India
In India, a medical college is an educational institution that provides medical education.

These institutions may vary from stand-alone colleges that train doctors to conglomerates that offer training related in all aspects of medical care.

The term is synonymous with “medical school” as used in the US and some other countries.

MBBS is a degree in Modern Scientific Medicine established by Indian Medical Council Act 1956 and continued in National Medical Commission Act 2019. After MBBS, they register with state medical councils.

The Indian government keeps an updated list of these approved medical colleges.

Many persons without MBBS degrees practice like doctors in India. They are called quacks. Quacks are punishable with imprisonment of up to 1 year under section 15 of Indian Medical Council Act 1956 and section 34 of National Medical Commission Act 2019.

Admissions to courses in medical colleges in India have been streamlined in the last few years.

While certain states had their own entrance tests to admit students into medical couses, a couple of other states had admitted students into medical colleges based on their marks in the 12th standard exams.

Students who wished to join medical colleges at graduate level must have good pass percentage in 12th standard exam with compulsory subjects as Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

Post NEET, candidates must attend counselling to secure a seat in a medical college. Seats are allotted based on student’s choice, performance in NEET and availability of seats.

NEET Exam is also known as National Eligibility cum Entrance Test and is conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA).

NEET UG is for an entrance test for those who wish to join medical colleges for undergraduate medical education and NEET PG is for those who wish to join post graduate medical courses in medical colleges.
