Sir, Should I Really Do MBBS Abroad?" — A Conversation Every Indian Student Needs to Hear
Get your most important MBBS abroad questions answered — honestly, simply, and without the sales pitch.
Student: Sir, I qualified NEET this year, but I didn’t get a government seat. My family can’t afford ₹80–₹90 lakhs for a private college. Should I think about MBBS abroad?
Mentor (4indegree): That’s a very common situation. And yes — MBBS abroad can be a smart and safe choice, but only if done properly.
Student: What’s the biggest thing I need to be careful about?
Mentor: Avoid fake promises.
If anyone tells you “Full MBBS in ₹10 lakhs,” walk away.
Even in affordable countries like Uzbekistan, the actual cost is ₹31.5 to ₹32 lakhs, including tuition, hostel, visa, food, and travel.
Student: Okay. But is the degree valid in India?
Mentor: Only if you:
-
Qualified NEET at the time of admission
-
Study at an NMC-approved university
-
Complete a 6-year course including internship
-
Pass the FMGE (or NEXT from 2025 onwards)
???? Check this link to understand FMGE in detail.
Student: What countries are best for Indian students?
Mentor: It depends on your:
-
Budget
-
Willingness to return to India or settle abroad
-
Cultural comfort
-
Accessibility for your parents
Here are some good examples:
-
Georgia: High quality + global exposure
-
Uzbekistan: Affordable and NMC-safe
-
Romania: Best if you aim for Europe
-
Bulgaria: EU-based clinical access

Student: Will I face problems with language?
Mentor: Not if you choose English-medium universities only.
We at 4indegree only recommend full English MBBS programs that meet NMC’s new Gazette rules.
Local language is needed only for talking to patients during clinical practice, and students pick that up naturally.
Student: What about life there? Hostel, food, homesickness?
Mentor: Real talk:
-
Most universities offer safe hostels and separate Indian mess
-
You’ll miss home for the first month — and then adapt
-
Indian student communities in Georgia, Uzbekistan, etc. are very supportive
-
Parents can visit countries with easier visas and cheaper flights
At 4indegree, we match students with comfort zones they can thrive in.
Student: I want to come back and do PG in India. Is that possible?
Mentor: Yes — if you clear NEET PG or NEXT-PG after passing FMGE.
You can also start FMGE prep during MBBS using our custom academic planner.
We’ve even helped students complete MBBS abroad + crack FMGE in their first attempt.
Student: Last question… how do I know which country or university is right for me?
Mentor: You don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s exactly what 4indegree does:
✅ Personalised shortlisting based on NEET score, budget & goals
✅ Only NMC-approved and WHO-listed universities
✅ VISA, hostel, flight, and parent support
