Due to the ever-widening gap between demand and supply in terms of infrastructure and medical colleges in the country, many resorts to study abroad destinations and fulfil their dreams. Statistics show that for every 11,528 people there’s only 1 government doctor to serve them. According to a 2016 report on Health Care, the number of government seats in India for MBBS is just 25,085 and the number of students who appear for medical entrance exams is more than 7 lakhs. Admissions to government and private medical colleges in India are through NEET – 1and NEET – 2 entrance tests respectively. This means only about 3.5% students get admission for MBBS in government colleges in India. According to a recent article by TOI, 99.4% of all candidates fail NEET – 1 every year. Against this, about 20% students who study MBBS from outside of India and appear for the screening test become a doctor every year. Most private colleges demand more than ₹40 lakhs for just providing admission through management quota. Not everyone can afford such high charges. Added to this is the tuition fee which ranges between ₹8-12 lakhs per year. This means that college fees alone would cost around ₹40-60 lakhs rupees. Added to it, accommodation, food, books, travelling and other expenses will take the final expense figure to around ₹ 70 –80 lakhs in 5 years for MBBS from a private college in India. Since good job offers can’t really be guaranteed, the situation at best is dismal with little hope of a promising future. The best and the only possible way then is to pursue MBBS from abroad that offers a win-win alternative of providing a fruitful career gateway at an affordable cost without the arduous challenge of going through an entrance test (MBBS from abroad cost around 75% lower than fees charged by private medical colleges in India).
