MBBS stands for Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, which is an undergraduate degree in the field of medicine.
There are approximately 50,000 MBBS seats available all over in India whereas 10 lakh students appear in various All India and state level entrance tests every year. This means, every year, only 5% of the students aspiring to become a doctor will achieve their goals. There are a total of 335 medical colleges in India out of which 181 are private institutions and 154 are government run institutes. Most of the private institutes have a capitation fee ranging from 15 to 20 lakhs with a yearly fee of 4 to 5 lakhs. For any middle-class family, even if the student secures a seat through entrance tests, MBBS still remains a forbidden fruit due to astronomical fee structure of the private institutes.
Global exposure, world class infrastructure, affordable fee structure, no donation, better ROI, an opportunity to practice in host country are the top pros of studying MBBS overseas.
