MBBS Abroad for Indian Students

Many students aspire to become a doctor. The annual increase in the proportion of students joining BiPC (PCB) is a testimony to the increasing interest of students in the medical field. But the process of becoming a doctor requires a lot of competition and money. This is due to the availability of lesser places in various state universities. Students who aspire to become doctors will either attend private medical school or go abroad to study if they fail a selection test.

Medicine is one of the most popular career paths across the world including India. The road to becoming a doctor usually starts with earning an MBBS degree. But getting a medical post in India is not very competitive.

Last year around 15 lakh candidates had competed for NEET 2019 and applied for over 90,000 pharmaceutical/dental places at the basement level. So around 17 students are fighting for just one seat! The situation is not much different for NEET 2020 this year. Check NEET 2020 exam new date.

Studying abroad is one of the best options for students who have not done well in NEET exam. Studying medicine abroad is comparatively cheap and has a high return on investment. There are many universities abroad that like to bring in students from different countries to create a positive co-cultural environment. Foreign universities maintain higher standards of education quality with cheaper/lower fees as compared to India.
