MBBS Abroad

In India, Medicine is among one of the best-sought professions. It is one of the most favored career destinations in India.

Currently, the MBBS seats in India are 80055 in 542 colleges. Out of this, 280 are Government colleges offering 42365 seats, while the other 262 colleges are private colleges offering 37690 seats.

The Medical education system in India, has been one of the prime concerns of the people of India. There are only a few Government Medical seats available in India and only a few of the students manage to clear and top the merit list of one of the toughest national level exams known as NEET. Others who cannot secure good marks and good rank in the list look for other options in private medical colleges. However, most of the students cannot afford the tuition fees in India as the Donation and the fee structure in the private Universities are very high.

Another reason that some of the Indian Private Medical Institutions failed to produce high standard Medical education is because of the lack of full-time qualified doctors. Lack of modern infrastructures in the institutes and also the research facilities are less. These are an essential part of medical education. The lack of these infrastructures affects the learning process of the students. In keeping pace to everyday new emerging diseases, a new line of treatment, advanced technologies are required in medical education.

In all these situations, some of the Foreign medical institutes/Universities paves the way for Indian Students to pursue MBBS from Abroad. The Medical Universities abroad offers various courses with affordable university fees and hostel fees. These Universities offer high-standard Medical education and they are also recognized and approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the World Health Organization (WHO)

Some of the countries that offer the MBBS program are Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Philippines, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, and many other countries.  The Universities in these countries are mostly recognized by all the major Medical organizations across the globe.
