MBBS is a 5.5-years undergraduate degree course that candidates can pursue after completing Class 12 (Science stream) and typically includes a one-year internship. On the other hand, MD is a 3-year postgraduate degree course that can be pursued after MBBS degree.
MBBS is the foundational medical degree in India, after which, candidates are eligible to practice as general physicians.
