Pursuing overseas MBBS is an endowment to the Indian students who do not get an opportunity, although they possess the interest to study medicine.
Here too, getting a seat in a renowned college in developed nations is really a tough task. Further, cost of studying in these institutions is going to be quite high without any scholarships.
Understanding this situation, smaller countries advertise to lure students saying, 'Foreign MBBS in just less than 5 lakh; we provide MBBS seats, just pass in plus two are eligible'.
First of all student should realize that, getting admission blindly by believing such advertisements will never be the right decision.
Generally, Medical Council of Indian (MCI) provides certain guidelines to study MBBS overseas. MCI doesn’t approve all MBBS from foreign countries. Although, students successfully complete MBBS in any country, it is a must to pass the ‘Screening Test’ conducted by MCI to practice medicine in India.
Furthermore, MCI doesn’t allow candidates to take up ‘Screening Test’ if they had completed MBBS from particular institutions. The names of such ineligible institutions are put up in the council’s official site.
Similarly, students should also be aware that those completing one year PG studies in foreign countries aren’t eligible for Government jobs in India.
