Ans: Hello!
There are two popular undergraduate programs to choose from: Bachelor in Biomedical or Pre-Medicine for your daughter who aspires to pursue a career in medicine. These programs have a duration of four years and require students to demonstrate their proficiency in English by taking the IELTS or TOEFL exam (if their education thus far has been conducted in India) and the SAT exam.

Upon completion of their undergraduate studies, students need to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Based on their MCAT score, students can then enrol in a Master's program to further their education and pursue their career goals in the medical field.

Ans: Hello Sunil

It's important to thoroughly examine the programs and make appropriate plans because each university may have unique criteria and deadlines. Getting advice from academic advisors, mentors, or business experts might be advantageous because the application process can be complicated.
