*A very high GPA in the science courses required for admittance (biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, etc.)

*Very good MCAT scores (Medical School Admittance Test) Usually a 30 is considered a good score.

*Some sort of work in the medical field (volunteer work, part-time EMT, that sort of thing) This lets them know that you have been exposed to the health professions and know what they are all about

You need to go to go to at least four years of college with a pre-medicine studies curriculum. After college you need to take the MCAT exam- a 5.5 hour test which measures your knowledge of verbal reasoning, writing, and physical and biological science. Then, if you get a good enough score, you can apply to medical schools around the country.

In India a pass in +2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology is necessary. If you need to get into the top colleges and into Govt setup you must have good marks and must get good marks in their entrance exams. However if money is not a problem a lot of Private medical colleges will admit you if have the basic necessary academic qualification.
