Hello, hope you are doing well!

Definitely its a very good idea to pursue MBBS from abroad but you can get the same quality of education here in your home country too. I would like to answer your question step by step considering all the facts that you should mandatorily keep in mind when you decide to pursue MBBS out of India. These are the following points:-

1. The minimum eligibility requirement reads as follow for studying MBBS in abroad-

• The aspirant has to be of age 17 years plus as on 31st December in the admission year.
• The student should be from PCM stream i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
• The student must have passed 12th standard with an aggregate marks of at least 50% in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and must have English as a compulsory subject.
• You need to clear NEET for admission in any country in abroad. NEET result is valid for a period of 3 years for MBBS admission in abroad.

2. The duration of the course varies from country to country. Mostly students go for a 5-year course. However, the duration is of 5.8 years in some of the best countries to pursue MBBS abroad like Russia and Ukraine, and 4-6 years in Philippines.

3. Another big decision is cost or fees for the total course. In USA, Australia, Canada, UK, New Zeland, EU countries are more expensive compared to doing MBBS in countries like Philippines, Ukraine, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, China. If you wish to study in colleges that are in USA, Australia, Canada, New Zeland or the UK, your budget should be in excess of 1 crore. Also, there are entrance exams you need to crack.

4. Make sure you do your MBBS from an university that has the approval by Medical Council of India(MCI) so that you can work in India after pursuing the course.

5. MBBS in Abroad is a great career choice as it gives many options to students graduating from these Universities. After MBBS from abroad, a student will have the following options:

• Come back to in India and appear for FMGE or the MCI Screening Test to work here.
• After completing your degree in abroad, you can pursue masters in any country or even work in other countries after clearing that particular country's entrance exam.
• If you study in US, you can apply for USMLE to settle down or practice in the US. USMLE has 3 steps and those who clear all the 3 steps, get Permanent Registration from the medical council of the USA to practice there. PLAB, which is the licensing exam of the UK is another popular choice of students pursuing MBBS from UK.

Its a little detailed answer but I hope it helped you with all the information that you needed to know. All the best!
