Why Indian Students Choose to Study MBBS Abroad
With limited MBBS seats in India and intense competition for government medical colleges, many Indian students are turning to international medical universities to pursue their dream of becoming a doctor. Countries like Russia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, and the Philippines offer quality MBBS programs at a fraction of the cost of private medical colleges in India.
International MBBS degrees, when obtained from NMC (National Medical Commission) approved universities, allow graduates to return to India and appear for the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) to practise medicine in India.
NMC-Approved MBBS Universities Abroad
Only graduates from NMC-approved universities can sit for FMGE in India. Our team stays up to date with the NMC’s approved list and only recommends universities that are recognised. We never encourage students to enrol in unrecognised institutions — your long-term career is our priority.
Popular Destinations for MBBS Abroad
Russia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan are among the most popular MBBS destinations for Indian students. These countries offer English-medium programs, modern facilities, NMC-approved universities, and relatively low tuition and living costs.
Georgia in particular has gained significant popularity in recent years — universities like Tbilisi State Medical University and David Tvildiani Medical University attract thousands of Indian students each year.
MBBS Admission Process and Timeline
