Why MBBS Abroad with "medischolars.in"

Exploring MBBS abroad is a strategic decision for many Indian students given the intense competition and high costs of private medical education in India. Below is a detailed breakdown of the statistical landscape, cost comparisons, and the roadmap for practicing in India or abroad.

Returning to India: The "Homecoming" Path

The Core Problem: Supply vs. Demand in India

The primary reason to look abroad is the massive gap between the number of aspirants and available government seats.

• NEET-UG Applicants (2024): ~24,00,000+ candidates.

• Total MBBS Seats in India: ~1,18,000 (approx. split: 51% Govt, 49% Private/Deemed).

• Government Seats (Affordable): Only ~60,000 seats.

• The Reality: Less than 3% of NEET applicants secure a subsidized government seat. The remaining 97% must either pay high private fees or drop a year.

Popular Central Asian Options:

• Russia: ₹20-40 Lakhs total (Old, established universities, billingual challenge).

• Georgia / Kazakhstan/ Kyrgyzstan / Uzbekistan: ₹15-25 Lakhs total (More affordable, shorter distance).

The Golden Rules (To Avoid Degree Invalidity)

You must choose a college that ensures:

• Course Duration: Minimum 54 months (4.5 years) of theory/clinical course.

• Internship Abroad: Minimum 12 months internship completed in the same foreign university.

• Medium: The entire course must be taught in English.

• License Eligibility: The degree must make you eligible to practice in that specific country.

The Exam: FMGE vs. NExT

Currently, students take the FMGE. However, this is transitioning to NExT (National Exit Test), which will be common for both Indian and Foreign graduates.

• FMGE (Current Status):

  • Pass Rate: Typically 20-25% (requires dedicated preparation).

  • Format: 300 MCQs, No negative marking. Pass mark: 150/300.

• NExT (Upcoming - Likely deferred to 2026/27):

  • NExT Step 1 (Theory): Computer-based exam replacing final year MBBS exams. Scores determine PG seats and internship eligibility.

  • NExT Step 2 (Practical): Clinical exam to test practical skills after internship. Pass/Fail only.

The "Double Internship" Rule

• Step 1: Complete 12 months internship in your foreign college (Mandatory for degree validity).

• Step 2: Clear FMGE/NExT Step 1 in India.

• Step 3: Perform 12 months of CRMI (Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship) in an Indian medical college.

Note: This means your total timeline will be approx. 5.5 - 6 years abroad + 1 year internship in India.

An international degree can also be a gateway to careers in the US, UK, or Europe, often bypassing the fierce competition for PG seats (MD/MS) in India.

Option A: USA (The USMLE Pathway)

• Exam: USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination).

• Structure:

  • Step 1: Basic Sciences (Pass/Fail). Best taken during 2nd/3rd year of MBBS.

  • Step 2 CK: Clinical Knowledge (Score matters for residency matching).

  • Step 3: Final licensing exam.

• Benefit: Highest earning potential globally. You enter US Residency directly (equivalent to MD/MS), where you earn a salary (approx. $60k/year) while learning

Option B: UK (The PLAB/UKMLA Pathway)

• Exam: Currently PLAB, transitioning to UKMLA (UK Medical Licensing Assessment).

• Structure:

  • UKMLA AKT: Applied Knowledge Test (Multiple choice).

  • UKMLA CPSA: Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment (Practical OSCE).

• Benefit: Work-life balance is generally better than the US/India. No "ranking" competition; it's a licensing exam. Once you pass, you apply for jobs in the NHS.

Option C: Europe (Germany - The EU Leader)

• No Central "Euro-Exam": Each EU country has its own rules. Germany is the most popular.

• exams:

  • FSP (Fachsprachprüfung): Medical German language test (C1 level Medical German required).

  • KP (Kenntnisprüfung): Knowledge test equivalent to the German final state exam.

• Benefit: PG education is FREE in Germany. You work as an "Assistant Doctor" earning €4,000-€5,000/month while specializing.

International Career Options (Global Mobility

If you plan to practice in India after your foreign degree, you must strictly follow NMC (National Medical Commission)
