Why Study MBBS Abroad?
The Problem in India
Every year, over 18 lakh students appear for NEET, but India has only about 1 lakh MBBS seats. That means more than 90% of qualified students are left without admission. Even if you secure a seat in a private medical college, the fees can range from 50 Lakh to 1 Crore for the full course - often with additional donation or capitation charges that burden middle-class families beyond their means.
- Limited government medical college seats
- Private college fees of 50 Lakh - 1 Crore
- Hidden donation and capitation fees
- Intense competition with low acceptance rates
The Solution: MBBS Abroad
Studying MBBS abroad offers Indian students a world-class medical education at a fraction of the cost. Universities in Russia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Bosnia, and the Philippines are recognized by WHO, NMC (formerly MCI), and other international bodies.
