Then you can practise

If you want to specialise in Surgery, you have to do 3 year post graduation MS General Surgery. For that you have to write an entrance exam and get a good rank there.

If you want to specialise in Paediatrics , you have to do 3 year post graduation MD Paediatrics . For that you have to write an entrance exam and get a good rank there.

An MD guys spents 3 years (studying MD) AFTER Completing 5 and half years as MBBS

An MS guys spents 3 years (studying MS) AFTER Completing 5 and half years as MBBS

So in fact MD Guys spent 8 and half years in total
So in fact MS Guys spent 8 and half years in total

An DM Guy spends 3 years (studying DM ) after MD
An MCh Guy spends 3 years (studying MCh ) after MS

So in fact DM Guys spent 11 and half years in total
So in fact MCh Guys spent 11 and half years in total

is it clear

MD = MBBS + MD
MS = MBBS + MS

DM = MD + DM
or DM = MBBS + MD + DM
MCh = MS + MCh
or MCh = MBBS + MS + MCh

So MD is superior to MBBS and DM is superior to MD
