Dear Sahil, it might be a costly affair to study Medicine in Private Medical College in India but its even costlier to study Medicine abroad. Not every country allows candidates after 10+2. They need a Bachelor's degree. Countirs like US, Canada and New Zealand consider graduates after a B.Sc degree for studying Medicine in their countries. So few International Students do go to Carribean islands to do a foundation course approved by US and then move to US for their 6 year Medical Course. This all process takes nothing less than 6-7 years. And not to mention the application and visa process. You need to apply atleast a year before you you want to take an admission. That is as close as 7-8 years. And the fees is nothing less than 15-20 lakhs depending on the Country you choose. And then if you want to come back to India to practise, you need to clear FMGE. Now lets talk about the time frame if you pursue your MBBS in Private Medical College. You complete the course within 5 and 1/2 years including the mandatory house surgeon and you now you neednt even write NEET PG to join MD/MS courses. So within the same 7 and 1/2- 8 years, you are even a MD/MS. You might spend approximately 10 lakhs on everything here but it still worth because India with its growing health sector, doctors are always in demand. So please take a call wisely.

Even though economically, studying in pvt med colleges of kerala is a costly affair,academically you can be on par with good govt colleges provided you study in pvt colleges like jubilee amala etc..if you get colleges like kannur anjarakandy med clg it s better to opt for Karnataka colleges.. They're much cheaper too compared to kerala pvt ones

The medical education scenario in India has undergone a radical transformation since the last few years. The NEET UG examination which has recently replaced the decades-old AIPMT has become the single gateway for admission to MBBS courses.

 

As per the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) figures for NEET 2017, the exam offered 65,170 MBBS seats across 470 medical colleges and 25,730 BDS seats across 308 dental colleges. Other than NEET UG, students also have the option of appearing in AIIMS and JIPMER examinations for admissions to a total of 907 seats in MBBS courses across 9 campuses combined.

 

India is also witnessing the emergence of research in new domains like biomedical engineering, nuclear medicine, radiology, forensic medicine, genetics and aerospace medicine. All these career options are poised to yield significant benefits in the long run. The prospects of MBBS with specialisations in different verticals at the post-graduation level are quite bright.

 

Moreover, an MBBS degree in India from a good Government college costs much less than that of in countries like China, Russia, European Union and the United States, ranging from anywhere between Rs. 1000 per annum to Rs. 1,00,000 per annum. India is an emerging bright spot for medical education and research in the long run.

 

Russia and China are the two major international destinations for Indian medical students aspiring for a foreign degree. Some prominent universities in Russia offering MBBS are Saint Petersburg Medical University, Volgograd Medical University, Tver State Medical Academy and Kazan State Medical University. Many Chinese universities like the Huazhong University of Science & Technology, Jilin University and Nanjing Medical University also offer MBBS courses. The cost of a foreign degree usually ranges between Rs. 20 lakhs and Rs. 60 lakhs to be paid throughout the timespan of the entire course, similar to many private medical colleges in India.

 

One obstacle for graduates from foreign medical colleges is that they are required to compulsorily clear the rigorous Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE), a screening test held by the Medical Council of India to determine whether the returning student is qualified for practice and further studies in India, a process which students who have completed their MBBS studies in India can skip.

 

Although on the other hand, studying abroad has the advantage of allowing the medical aspirant to experience new cultures, ideas and ways of learning. Both choices have their pros and cons and it is ultimately up to the aspirant to take the choice one is comfortable with after careful research.
