1. Clearing Your MBBS abroad Confusion by Listing the Best No matter how razor-sharp you think your focus is, there’s always confusion in your minds regarding the best destination for MBBS Abroad. While many people may suggest you a number of different things, this post tries to highlight 2 particular prospects. By talking in detail about Kyrgyzstan and The Philippines, the post tries to clear the heads of the students and narrow down their focus to only the best of destinations. It shall cover everything from the visa formalities to the cost and quality of medical degrees here so that you can make a more well-informed decision. Getting a Student Visa in Both Countries It won’t be wrong to say that getting a student visa in any of the 2 countries is a relatively easier process. The entire visa process for an MBBS in Philippines takes a total of 15 days, right from the application process till the dispatch of your visa. The process is completely online, which only makes the process easier and more hassle-free. Students wishing to go to Kyrgyzstan will also have an easy time as the process is almost completely online; in fact, they can even apply for an e-visa as well. For the past few years, the Government of Kyrgyzstan has also given international students the provision of an “On arrival Visa”. Apart from this, what one needs to remember is that the 10+2, NEET, and other personal documents like ID Proof, medical tests, criminal background checks need to be submitted along with the passport and passport-size photos.

2. Given that budget is a paramount issue for Indian parents and students both, it’s also important to highlight that both these destinations have some affordable medical universities. Those pursuing MBBS in Kyrgyzstan are at an advantage as the tuition fees in the universities here begin at INR 10 Lakh. Including the accommodation fees and all the other miscellaneous charges levied by the universities, the total fees can go up to INR 14-20 Lakh. This is even lower than the Filipino universities that on average charge the students around INR 20-25 Lakh for the entire 5.5-year program. This includes the tuition, accommodation, and other charges across the program. What makes both these destinations very preferred among the Indian candidates is the fact that none of the universities here charge any donations and/or capitation fees in addition to the amounts mentioned above. Validity of the Degrees in India This wasn’t a major problem until the NMC Gazette came out at the end of 2021. It included a number of guidelines pertaining to MBBS abroad, which have been mentioned below - The entire program needs to be at least 5.5 years long. Out of this, at least 4.5 years need to be dedicated to classes and lab sessions, while the last 1 year needs to be for the clinical internship. The entire program needs to be taught in English. The medical degree from that university needs to be valid within the jurisdiction of that country (in this case, Kyrgyzstan or the Philippines) As far as an MBBS in Kyrgyzstan is concerned, the duration is lesser than 5.5 years currently. However, universities here are on their way to making the courses 5.8 years long.

Earlier the BS+MD courses were this long but the NMC did not recognize BS as part of the official course. Therefore, this change.
