Dear Sonia,
The duration of the general medical degree program in French universities is about 9 years.
The medical studies are divided into 3 stages known as cycles.
1st cycle - 2 years, 2nd cycle - 4 years, 3rd cycle - 3 years.
Specialization is after this.
Eligibility:
1. You can apply after 12th. Minimum 60% in PCB is preferable.
2. A student before taking admission to any medical program must be proficient in French language at level B2 because all medicine courses in France are taught in French.
You can apply directly to the university. We can also help you with the application, visa and other procedures. Kindly reach us so that we can help you with the application.
But my suggestion to you if you want to study in Europe then you will have to take up medicine in Poland. In terms of cost it is more affordable, acceptance of foreign students is more flexible, most important is that course is taught in English. Duration is 5 years plus one year of Internship.
All the best !
Warm Regards,
Anand Dhillon

Hi Praggatti,
The options are unlimited, as you have done your class 12 with science. With the combination of biology, physics and chemistry you can take up medicine, dentistry, Pharmacy, agricultural science, dairy science or biological sciences (biochemistry, biotechnology, Microbiology).
Apart from doing the degree level courses in science with the conventional combinations you can also choose degree courses in several emerging professional areas, such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, computer, business administration, hotel management, tourism management etc. you can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, industrial design, packaging, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer courses and a host of post 10 + 2 level vocational courses. For pursuing a course in engineering you should have Maths as compulsory subject in 10+2.
However, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, Website: www.aiims.ac.in or www.aiims.edu, offers B.Tech (Biotechnology) with Class XII with Physics, Chemistry and Biology. To get admission in the top medical college in India you would need to score above 90% in 12th and do very well in entrance exam.
With a PCM combination of subjects, you can pursue almost any field you set your mind on. You can of course do engineering which is a professional degree and has streams such as Electrical, Mechanical, Electronic and Communication etc. You can do your graduation in subjects of your interest, even switching to Humanities or Commerce streams if you so desire.
You can do a BCA (Computer Applications), BBA (Business Administration), Law, Civil Aviation, Pilot, Astronomy, Architecture, Design, Mass Communication, Merchant Navy, Defense Forces, Psychology, Civil Services etc. To decide on the course, you should analyze your strengths, career goals, interests, personality, aptitude and ability. If you decide based on these parameters you will put in your best effort and will be successful in your chosen field.
Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.
