Admission to MSc Nursing is entirely based on exams like KEAM, JEMScN, JEPAS PG, CUET PG, NEET PG, etc.

No, an MSc in Nursing is not equivalent to a doctoral degree. The MSc in Nursing is a master's level degree, which is a postgraduate qualification. It typically follows the completion of a BSc in Nursing or an equivalent qualification.
On the other hand, MBBS is an undergraduate degree awarded to individuals who have completed the required medical education and training to become medical doctors. MBBS holders are medical doctors who have undergone comprehensive training in medical sciences, clinical practice, and patient care.
