No an optometrist is not an MBBS doctor or even graduate. Optometrists are professionals who have expertise in eye care services which includes eye exam, vision correction and even diagnosis and management of certain eye conditions.

Both MS (Master of Surgery) and MD (Doctor of Medicine) are postgraduate medical degrees, but they differ in terms of focus and specialization.

MD is a postgraduate degree that focuses on medical specialities. It is usually pursued by doctors who want to specialize in clinical and non-surgical fields. On the other hand, MS is a postgraduate degree that emphasizes surgical specialities. It is pursued by doctors who are interested in becoming surgical specialists and performing surgical procedures.

No, one cannot become a surgeon without MBBS.

Becoming a surgeon typically requires completing a medical degree, which is commonly an MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) or an equivalent degree recognised in the respective country. The MBBS degree is the foundation of medical education and provides the necessary knowledge and training to pursue a career in various medical fields, including surgery.

Given that SC category cutoffs are typically lower, you may be able to secure an MBBS seat at ESIC Medical College if your NEET 2024 score is 423 and you fall into that group. The precise deadline, though, may change every year. For more exact information, it's best to examine the most recent cutoff trends or get in touch with the college.

It would be difficult to get a B Category seat at a private medical college in Andhra Pradesh if you scored 275 on the NEET 2024 and you are an OBC. There is fierce rivalry for B Category seats, which are normally filled on the basis of merit. However, admission prospects are contingent upon seat availability, college-specific cutoffs, and the year-end cutoffs. In addition to looking into private colleges where you would have a greater chance of getting a seat under management quota, it is advisable to take part in the state counselling procedure.

Depending on the state's cutoff trends, you stand a good possibility of obtaining an MBBS seat through the home state quota with a NEET score of 599, especially at government medical colleges. In many government and private medical institutes, you are likely to meet the cutoff in states like West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra. Your prospects are also better for the All India Quota (AIQ), although the cutoffs are usually higher and the competition is fiercer. It is necessary to engage in the state and AIQ counselling processes.
