No, doing a PG degree after an MBBS is not compulsive. Still, those interested in practicing in superspeciality or looking forward to teaching fields will mandatorily require it.

The course of MBBS is awarded as a professional undergraduate degree in the surgical and medical fields by medical colleges and universities. Two different degrees, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, have been combined into one discipline to be practised simultaneously.
The MBBS course lasts for five to six years, including an internship. By the historical terminology of degrees, they are two dissociated undergraduate degrees.
In practice, they are generally merged and conferred as one, and they may also be awarded at graduate-level medical institutions.
