Every year, over 23 lakh students appear for the NEET UG exam, but there are only about 1.1 lakh MBBS seats available in India. Out of these, just 55,000 seats are in government colleges, which are affordable but extremely competitive.
The remaining seats in private medical colleges often come with high tuition fees, leading many Indian students to seek affordable and quality medical education options abroad in countries like Russia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, and Nepal.
Students are increasingly choosing universities such as:

Most of these universities are listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) and are recognised by global authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO) and India’s National Medical Commission (NMC). This recognition allows graduates to pursue further studies or appear for exams like the FMGE to practice in India.
Countries like Russia and Georgia offer world-class medical education at a fraction of Indian private college costs, while Nepal and Bangladesh attract students with similar cultural and food habits, making the transition smoother.
Although adapting to a new environment and passing licensing exams can be challenging, for many students, but studying MBBS abroad is a smart, future-focused decision, not just an alternative, but a planned step towards a successful medical career.
