No, according to present scenario, if you do your pg in the US or UK after completing MBBS from Russia or any European country, there are low chances that you will be exempted from writing the FMGE. In order to practice as a doctor in India one needs to clear the FMGE exam but there is an exception for 5 countries which are:
1) USA
2)UK
3) New Zealand
4) Australia
5) Canada
If a student does both UG and PG from these countries then they might be exempted from writing the FMGE. So, only doing pg will not be very helpful.
The pros and cons of studying ug abroad can be summed up mainly by the following points:
Pros:
1. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture
2. You will be able to develop transferable skills and experience which can enhance your CV or resume.
3. You can build your foreign language skills and efficiency
Cons:
1. You may not be able to get part-time work or internships due to visa restrictions
2. Getting accomodation is tough for foreign students in many Universities
3. International scholarships are very competitive and the cost of education as well as living is high in foreign countries.
