The minimum qualification required to apply for an MBBS course typically includes completing Class 12th (or equivalent) with a focus on Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as core subjects. 

Candidates must have secured a minimum percentage (usually around 50% for general category students and 40% for reserved categories) in these subjects. In addition, candidates must be at least 17 years old on or before December 31st of the year of admission. 

To secure admission, candidates must also qualify for relevant entrance exams like NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) in India or other equivalent exams in different countries.

No, PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) students cannot directly pursue MBBS in India, as Biology is a compulsory subject for eligibility. The NEET exam, which is required for MBBS admissions, mandates that candidates must have studied Biology in their Class 12th or equivalent exams. 

PCM students would need to have Biology as a subject or pursue it through additional qualifications before they can appear for NEET and be eligible for MBBS programs.

It is phenomenally easy to confuse the term 'Doctor,' as both a PhD and MBBS are referred to as 'Doctor'; however, they have very different roles and expertise.
 
An MBBS has been given the authority to practice medicine and treat patients as a medical doctor. They can diagnose you, prescribe you treatment plans, and perform surgeries on you.
 
A PhD has been awarded the title after conducting rigorous research into a field of study, commonly Science, Engineering or Humanities, typically in a specific area of their field. They are generally a subject matter expert and have a doctorate in their research area, but not generally to

Candidates can keep in mind the following points to qualify NEET UG in the first attempt:

1. Understand the Syllabus - Knowing the syllabus for NEET UG inside and out is crucial. Also, make sure to cover all the topics and units for Physics, Chemistry and Biology from NCERT books.

3. Enough focus on NCERT Books - Check NCERT textbooks books thoroughly as a good number of NEET questions are directly or indirectly centrically based on NCERT.

Yes, a student with 80% marks can certainly pursue Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS full form in Medical), provided they meet the eligibility criteria and perform well in medical entrance exams like NEET UG in India. 

Academic performance, such as scoring 80% in Class 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, demonstrates a strong foundation in Ssubjects, which is crucial for MBBS. Success in MBBS is determined by dedication, consistent effort, and the ability to adapt to a rigorous curriculum, rather than just high school percentages.

No, it isn't possible to finish the MBBS course in 4 years in India. The MBBS course in India typically takes 5.5 years. A 5.5-year course consists of 4.5 years of academics and a 1 year compulsory internship.

The National Medical Commission (NMC) has mandated the timelines for the MBBS course in order to ensure students have acquired the theoretical knowledge, clinical competency and practical experience to become competent doctors.
