If you want to take admission in MBBS course in abroad. Then you must fulfil criteria by MCI.

• NEET qualifying is compulsory.
• A student must complete 17 years of age as of 31st December of the year of admission.
• A student of unreserved category must have an aggregate of at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

There are many countries available for Indian students to get a medical degree from abroad.

Is it a good option or not totally depends on the country you select.

Some countries teach MBBS in bilingual courses.
This means half of your degree will be taught in English and rest half in their native language.
If you opt. for this type of university, then we consider that you are wasting your time and money.

Screening test pass ratio is very low from universities which provide MBBS course in bilingual language.

There are countries which need you to clear a language test at the end of the degree if a student passes this exam then the only student is granted with a medical degree.

These types of countries are a very risky investment for your medical education.

Some of the universities have started teaching MBBS to Indian students only 2-3 years ago. Hence, no student has passed the screening test in India.

There are countries which have the very poor medical infrastructure. Patients from those countries travel to India for treatment. Students should never choose such countries and universities.

No, if you pursue MBBS course in any university from abroad without qualifying NEET exam then you will not be allowed for the screening test in India (NEXT).
This means your degree will not be valid in India and you cannot practise in India as a doctor.

Let’s break this into simple steps.

Step 1

Choose a country where you want to pursue MBBS.

When choosing a country a student should do all necessary research like living conditions, degree validity, pass percentage of students etc.

 

Step 2

Choose a university in which you want to take admission for MBBS.

Always choose an MCI approved university only. You can get list of MCI approved medical colleges abroad at MCI website.

Step 3

Admission process in medical courses abroad is not direct.

You have to choose a consultant. Choosing an authorised consultant is very important.

As this will determine your experience during the study period.

Check for authorisation letter of the MBBS abroad consultant. Also, check the reference of previously studying students through that consultant.

For fast and transparent process choose Singla Consultancy.

Step 4

Apply for admission letter in the selected university.

You need the following documents for admission letter:

• NEET result
• 12th mark sheet
