Studies Abroad Medical

The study of medicine and health sciences or otherwise referred to as MBBS has grown over the years among the young in India. Today the number of students applying to study MBBS abroad is far greater than what it was a couple of years back. Why so? A limited number of government seats coupled with exorbitant tuition fees levied by private medical colleges have pushed a certain section of Indian students to pursue MBBS abroad.
As per the Medical Council of India (MCI), a total of 542 government and private colleges provide a total of 79,855 seats (for the year 2022) to students who have successfully cleared the now mandatory National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). The number of seats offered by MCI is only a fraction of the total number of candidates that register for NEET every year. In 2022 a record total of over 18 lakh students registered for the NEET-UG. Private medical institutions with their exorbitant tuition fees become the only option for students who are unable to make the cut.State-of-the-art medical universities clubbed with unmatched amenities and complete with world-class faculty make studying MBBS abroad a major success among Indians. Studying MBBS out of the country not only provides students with international exposure, and an opportunity to practice in a foreign land but also a holistic experience that is cherished lifelong.

Why Study MBBS Abroad?

MBBS or Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery is a qualification which requires immense patience, hard work, and focus. There are many countries apart from India such as Germany, the UK, Russia, Canada, etc., which offer medical programmes that too at a reasonable and sometimes lower cost. It has been observed that Indian students have been going to Georgia for medical education more than ever. The country is also considered quite safe and affordable for Indian students. They are enrolled in institutes such as David Tvildiani, New Vision University, Batumi Shota Rustaveli University, European University, Tbilisi State Medical University, etc. More than 20 universities in Georgia have the National Medical Commission India’s approval.Some of the other prominent reasons which make MBBS abroad a great experience are listed below:

Affordability of degree: Many Countries located in the East of Europe and Asia such as China, Georgia, the Philippines, etc., have institutes which offer MBBS or equivalent degrees at less than 10,000 USD. This is way less than what students would have to pay in the UK and USA for the same degree.

Enhanced Knowledge: Another plus point of studying internationally is that every country has its own specialized research area, concepts, and knowledge. By studying at a location outside India you will gain an expanded understanding of medical practices which may be unfamiliar and more advanced. This will also improve your market value as a healthcare worker.

Polished Education: There are many nations where medical programmes offered are of high standards. With excellent teaching faculty and state-of-the-art facilities learning there becomes truly substantial. Exposure to differently set clinical experiences may also help you improve your medical abilities.

Building Network: When you move to a foreign land to pursue higher education, you will also meet and get acquainted with people who are in the same field as you but of different origins. This will assist you in building your own professional network.
