Check the 10 Usual Myths about MBBS Abroad 

It’s true that every Indian Medical Aspirant wants to pursue MBBS from India only. But in the current scenario, only 5% of students are getting the opportunity to study MBBS in India. 

Nothing new to state that medical seats in India is limited and competition is extremely high. Hence either you need to score high enough or skip a year if you wanna earn an MBBS degree from India only. A number of students, therefore, started pursuing MBBS at foreign medical universities. 

But there are a few common myths that restrict medical students and their parents from opting for MBBS Abroad. We will discuss those myths or barriers today so that you can make your first step toward success without any hesitation.

 

Not Internationally Valid Degree

A lot of people refrain from choosing MBBS abroad because they think an MBBS abroad degree is not applicable internationally. This means the student can practice medicine where he studied MBBS and nowhere else. 

But this is completely wrong. Rather people choose MBBS abroad for international recognition and practice globally. 

 

No Security 

Yes, it’s true that opting for an MBBS course in abroad allows you great exposure to experience. But that doesn’t mean your life in a foreign medical college would be insecure. Rather these foreign medical colleges invest a lot to ensure the security of their students.  

For example, in most of the medical colleges in Bangladesh, there is a specific time slot booked for going out. 

MBBS Abroad is Expensive 

Yes, this is the most general and common thought, but it’s not true. Studying MBBS in India is rather expensive. Moreover, if you fly to the countries like Bangladesh, Nepal, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, etc the expenses would be less. 

 

Complex Admission Process 

No doubt flying to any abroad country indulges a lot of hassle. But it only increases when you try to contact the medical colleges directly. You should always consider the assistance of an authentic consultancy that can provide you with the right information. 

 

Different Language & Syllabus 

The language barrier is the greatest concern of many. But the reality is different. No matter what foreign country you choose for MBBS, the medium of study would be the same, mostly English. 

The syllabus may vary as per your choice of country. Like if you choose Bangladesh for your medical studies the syllabus would be as same as India. 

 

Not Possible to Practice in India 

The biggest misconception ever. Earlier it was difficult to practice in India if you pursue MBBS at a foreign medical university. But now by qualifying for the FMGE or NExT exam you can easily practice in India as well.

Indian Students are Neglected 

Most parents and students think that Indian students would be the prey of discrimination if they study abroad. Whereas in foreign medical colleges, every student is dealt with utmost care. 

In the maximum medical colleges, they have recruited experienced academic counselors to speak with the students if they face any issues.  

Headache of Entrance Exam 

Do you think studying MBBS abroad requires you to qualify for any entrance exam? Well, that is completely optional. Suppose you choose Bangladesh as your MBBS destination, there will be no entrance exam to attend. Qualifying NEET is sufficient there. 

 

Lack of Practical and Clinical Exposure 

In most foreign medical colleges there are 5+1 years of medical study policy. Yes, 5 years of theoretical studies and 1year of the internship. For the entire year of the internship, the students deal with critical cases and acquire practical knowledge. 

If you study MBBS in India, you will be only dealing with the same type of diseases. Pursuing MBBS abroad can provide you with the chance of experiencing new and critical cases. 

 

NEET Qualification is Not Mandatory 

You might be surprised to read this point. But actually, there are a few people who still believe NEET qualification is not mandatory for MBBS abroad. No matter wherever you study MBBS, NEET qualification is mandatory and it’s the basic criteria.
