No, becoming a pediatrician without an MBBS degree is not possible in India or most parts of the world. The MBBS is the foundational medical degree required to become a licensed doctor. After completing MBBS, one must pursue postgraduate training, such as an MD in Pediatrics, to specialize in pediatric care. However, there are alternative healthcare roles in pediatrics, like Pediatric Nursing, child psychology, or pediatric physiotherapy, which do not require an MBBS but still allow professionals to work closely with children in medical settings.

Yes, you can get direct admission to Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical Sciences (SLIMS) for MBBS, but it must be through the NEET exam. Admissions are based on merit, so you need to qualify in the NEET exam and then go through the centralized counseling by the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC). Without a NEET score, direct admission isn't allowed as per the National Medical Commission (NMC) rules.
