Yes, Pathology is also studied under MBBS. It is a crucial component of the MBBS curriculum. During the MBBS program, students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of pathology, which include the study of disease mechanisms, tissue changes, and laboratory diagnostics. This foundational knowledge helps future doctors understand how diseases affect the body, interpret diagnostic tests, and make informed clinical decisions.

Yes, candidates can pursue some Pathology courses without MBBS like undergraduate programs such as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Medical Laboratory Technology or Clinical Pathology which provide foundational knowledge and practical skills in pathology. 

Additionally, Diploma courses like the Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) or Certificate courses in clinical and medical laboratory techniques offer specialised training without requiring an MBBS

However, an MBBS is necessary for MD Pathology.

They are not equal at all. MBBS is a professional UG degree given to you after you have completed your required training in medicine and surgery. It is basically seen as a standard qualification if you want to become a medical doctor.

MPT on the other side is a PG degree in Physiotherapy that is all about physical methods and exercises for treating and rehabilitating patients who have any physical disability.

No, an MBBS degree is not required to pursue a career after Acupuncture courses. 

Acupuncture is a specialised field within traditional medicine and typically requires the completion of dedicated acupuncture courses.

However, having a background in medicine can be beneficial for integrating acupuncture with other medical treatments and enhancing a practitioner’s overall understanding of health and disease.

No, 20 years old is not too late to start pursuing an MBBS degree in India or many other countries. In fact, it's a quite common age to begin medical studies. The typical age range for starting MBBS in India is usually between 17 and 25 years old, but this can vary depending on individual circumstances and educational paths.

Many students in India typically start their MBBS courses in their late teens or early twenties.

No, MDS is not same as MBBS.

The main difference between the MBBS and MD is that applicants who want to pursue a career in medicine enrol in the MBBS, which is an undergraduate programme. On the other hand, those who have finished their MBBS might pursue the postgraduate degree of MD.

The primary distinction between the MBBS and MD is that the MBBS is an undergraduate study pursued by applicants who desire to pursue a profession in medicine. MD, on the other hand, is a postgraduate course that applicants who have completed their MBBS can pursue.
