Hi - My son currently in 12 grade is pursuing NEET and wants to do his MBBS or equivalent in Germany. Any tips on how he can achieve that? He is fluent in German.

Academic Requirements: You typically need to have completed secondary education equivalent to the German Abitur, which is the qualification required for university admission in Germany. This often includes specific subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Its our board exam which is equivalent.
Entrance Exams: Some universities may require you to take entrance exams such as the Test for Medical Studies (TMS) or the Natural Sciences and Medicine Test (HAM-Nat).
Application Process: Research universities in Germany that offer MBBS programs and check their admission requirements and application deadlines. Apply directly to the universities you're interested in, following their application procedures.
Visa and Residency Permit: If you're accepted into a medical program, you'll need to apply for a student visa and, if necessary, a residency permit to study in Germany. Make sure to fulfil all visa requirements, including providing proof of financial means to support yourself during your studies.
