B.Sc (Nursing) Graduates are eligibly for Lateral Entry into M.B.B.S Course. Experienced as well as the fresh B.Sc (Nursing) graduates have opportunities to jump and enroll into 3rd year of MBBS.

Fresh graduates:
Fresh graduates of BSc (Nursing) contend that a lot of common subjects between their faculty of graduation and MBBS, and hence it is proper to make a lateral entry.

What are the requirements for getting lateral entry to the mbbs after completing bsc nursing??i kindly request you to grant the details if any??

Can you tell me if one can pursue MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) Program after completing B.Sc Nursing in India?

[Neelu Bhasin]

No, there is no lateral entry for MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) in India. If you fulfil the eligibility criteria for admission in MBBS Program, you can definitely join the course.


But, I find it is complete waste of time as you have already invested your 3 years for B.Sc Nursing and now wants to take admission in MBBS Program which is a 5 Years long course. You will have to clear National Entrance Exam – NEET - to get admission in MBBS in India.
