Cost of medical education in India continues to rise. So, a growing number of students are heading to foreign shores. China, in particular, emerges as a favorite destination nowadays. According to MBBS Abroad Consultants, a 6 year-education at an approved Chinese medical university can cost Rs. 25 lakh which is equivalent to one-year internship and annual travel to India. With capitation fees, some Indian colleges amount to more than double that figure. It is not surprising that there are now about 9,000 Indian medical students in China.

Financial incentives are the main reason behind China’s emergence as a famous destination for medical education. There are, of course, some difficulties like lifestyle adjustments, language barrier and problems with the cuisine can be faced. Chinese universities are increasingly going out of the way to court Indian students whether by setting up private kitchens and Medical universities in China prefers English medium instruction.

Some problems for medical students while pursuing MBBS in India -

  • Tough MCI test - The more serious aspect for most Indian medical students is a Medical Council of India (MCI) screening test which is required to take in India after graduation. The exam is a compulsory requirement for medical students who study overseas. This screening test is very tough to clear and admission is given on basis of merit.
  • Hidden costs - Beyond the MCI test, students have to pay "hidden costs" that mounted during the course of their 6 year-education course which is also a bigger problem. Students don’t have any choice but to pay the additional charges otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to graduate.

So, in China, medical students can’t have these problems. The MCI’s website lists the 49 universities that have been approved by China’s Ministry of Education to enroll the international students. The number of Indian students who head to China is only expected to rise in coming years as the costs of an education in India remains out of reach for many.

Study MBBS in China can also be rewarding as approved universities offer world-class facilities at affordable costs and also the scholarship for students.
