Most of the private institutes have a capitation fee ranging from 15 to 20 lakhs with a yearly fee of 4 to 5 lakhs. It is difficult for any middle class family to bear the expense on medical education of their sons/daughters. Medical aspirants can now study MBBS abroad to realize their dreams of becoming doctors.

MBBS in Russia vs. MBBS in India

Pursuing Medical education in India is very tough. First of all, the medical aspirants in India will have to clear the medical entrance examination like NEET, which is conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), to pursue medical education.

Fewer Seats, more Aspirants

 Medical seats are few and the number of aspirants is innumerable. NEET has 66 000 medical seats for 13 lakh and 36 thousand medical aspirants who are going to appear at it this year. It means only 4 out 100 will get medical seats for admission to colleges in MBBS/BDS courses.

High Donation or Capitation Fee

 Although the fee structure of govt. medical college is not high in India, all cannot take admission in govt. medical colleges. As far as the issue of admission in private medical colleges in India is concerned, the capitation or donation fee is very high. It is between Rs. 15 lakh to 20 lakh depending on the college. So, it is not affordable for most of the middle class families in India to send their wards to private medical colleges to pursue medical education.

Don’t be disheartened

 But the medical aspirants needn’t be disheartened. They can get ample opportunity to study MBBS abroad in countries like Russia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Philippines, China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Bangladesh. There is no entrance examination and donation or capitation fee for studying MBBS in medical universities of these countries. As far as the quality of medical education there is concerned, it is of world class. Almost all medical universities have recognition from international medical bodies like WHO and UNESCO.

Russia is the Preferred Destination

Pursuing Medical Study in Russia has always been the choice of Indian students. Russia is ahead in the field of education, specifically in medicine. So instead of paying a huge amount as the capitation fees in India, aspirants can choose a good reputed University in Russia.

Studying MBBS in India vs Abroad, Which is better?

It is not possible for every medical aspirant to pursue medical education in India. There are two reasons behind it. One, students can get admission to govt. medical colleges only after qualifying anyone of the medical entrance examinations - NEET, AIMPT, AIIMS, and JIMPER. Two, as far as the question of Private medical college in India is concerned; its fee is so high that it is impossible for most of the parents to afford. There is also entrance exam conducted by the private medical colleges for admission, though nominal. Medical aspirants are to qualify it to be able to get admission. But there is no entrance test abroad and the quality of education is of global standard. The fee structure is also low abroad. So the most of the middle-class students can also afford the fees. In this way doing MBBS course abroad is a better option.

A Great Difference in the Quality of Education

Even if the students get admission in Indian private colleges, there is a great difference between the qualities of education here in India and abroad. India is still a developing country while western countries are well developed and far more advanced in almost all spheres of life. Though the cost of living of the students in the hostel is low in India, the quality of education is not up to the mark like abroad. When it comes to mind whether to pursue medical education in India or abroad, the choice goes in favor of abroad.

Low Fee Structure

Private colleges in India charge very high fee along with a donation for admission. So, it is very expensive to do MBBS course in India. In completing the MBBS course, generally, five and half years of time are taken. So if you put the idea of doing MBBS from Indian private medical college to comparison with colleges in foreign countries, it is apparently crystal clear that the latter option is cheaper.

Global Exposure

When the Indian medical aspirants go abroad for studying MBBS, they come in contact with the students from different countries of the world. They interact among themselves about the medical education in their respective countries. In this way, they get exposed to the outside world also. Their vision broadens and knowledge widens. By studying in the native land, students fail to come in contact with the students and teachers of different countries.

Seat Availability

As India is a very big country in terms of population, the availability of medical seats in the colleges is limited. Only a little more than 50 thousand students can take admission to medical colleges. It cannot exceed more than that. So, the seats in Indian private medical colleges are also filled up very quickly. In the given situation, only one option is left with the medical aspirants. It is to go abroad for admission to study MBBS as there is neither seat constraint there nor entrance examination for admission in foreign countries. So, it is better to do MBBS abroad than in India if the medical aspirants fail to clear NEET or AIMPT. So they needn't get disheartened and admitted to medical college abroad.
