There are millions of students who aspire to be a doctor, and most of their dreams are shattered mainly because of 2 reasons:

  1. Proper guidance for securing a seat.
  2. Fee affordability issue.

Keeping in mind all these we have created a proper platform for guiding students to become a doctor.

Before diving deep into MBBS admission, let me introduce myself!

I am Sidharth PS, a career counselor and consultant, with more than 17 years in the field of educational consulting. I am also a career blogger, writing about the latest updates in the education industry.

Stories apart, in this article I will be explaining about MBBS admission in India and also other countries in the world. In every section, I will be detailing the same.

You can go through the article completely where I had written about MBBS admission in the proper order.


Eligibility

The basic eligibility criteria for taking MBBS admission for Indian students is the qualification of the NEET-UG entrance exam. Yes, you have to qualify for NEET-UG if you want to take MBBS admission in India or if you want to practice in India.

Let me explain each eligibility criterion here:

  1. NEET-UG: The candidate must qualify NEET-UG entrance exam if he/she wants to join MBBS in India or Abroad.
  2. 12th Marks: The candidate must score a minimum of 50% in PCB and aggregate too.
  3. Age: The candidate must be at least 17 years of age by December 31st of the year of taking admission.

MBBS Admission Process

In this section, I will explain to you the admission process to Government colleges, private colleges, deemed colleges, and colleges which are abroad. 😀

Yes, this is going to be a one-stop resource clearing all your queries regarding MBBS admission.

Government Colleges

If you have scored really high and want to try for MBBS admission in a government college, then you must attend counseling. 85% of seats go to the state quota and 15% of seats go to the All India Quota or AIQ.

Confused? No worries, I am going to explain it to you.

Think you are a student who is from Karnataka, you have to attend the state counseling to opt for the 85% of the seats which are allotted for the students of the same state.

And if you want to opt for a medical college in Maharastra, then you must attend the All India Counseling and apply through the 15% All India Quota.

Still, if you are having any questions, feel free to contact me at +91-7907887585.

Deemed Universities

If you want to take MBBS admission in deemed universities, then you must attend the counseling conducted by MCC. Yes, all the seats of the deemed medical colleges are allotted through the All India counseling. You can get the detailed information in my article about MBBS admission in deemed universities.

Private Colleges

For joining any medical college which comes under the state authority or state quota, then you must attend the counseling conducted by the state.

For example, the state counseling in Karnataka is conducted by KEA, in UP it is done by UPDGME etc.

You can also check MBBS admission in different states below:

Abroad Colleges

90% of the medical colleges abroad take direct admissions with minimum qualifications and fees. For the same, the candidate must apply to the university, attend the interview and clear your doubts.

After the documents are verified, with all the documents, you have to apply for a Visa and can migrate to any other country.

MBBS Admission Fee Structure

It will be very confusing if I tell you about the MBBS fee structure in a basic way. So, I will be categorizing the fee structure for MBBS here as Government college, deemed college, private college, and abroad college fee structures.

Government Colleges

The fees in government college range from Rs.6,000 to Rs.60,000 per year depending on each state. But the best part is that you will be able to earn a monthly stipend during your 1 year of internship.

Deemed Universities

The fee structure for MBBS in deemed universities ranges from Rs.12 lakhs to Rs.40 lakhs per year depending on each college.

Private Colleges

The MBBS fees in private colleges start from Rs.11 lakhs per annum excluding hostel, food, and extra charges. In private, there are 2 different quotas:

  1. Management quota.
  2. NRI quota.

For NRI quota in MBBS, it ranges from Rs.20 lakhs to Rs.40 lakhs per annum depending on colleges and states.

Abroad Colleges

Around 37% of the MBBS aspirants from India migrate to other countries, as the fees are very low compared to the fees in India. If you are fine with migrating to any country, then you can easily get MBBS admission at Rs.20 lakhs for the total course including hostel, food, and other fees.

This is the minimum fee that I know and it goes up to Rs.70 lakhs for the total, in countries like Nepal, Malaysia etc.

I write articles about MBBS fees in different states, you can go through the following if you need to.

How to Choose the Best College?

Thousands of students don’t know how to choose a good medical college. Most of them go behind the fake marketing and rankings shown by colleges.

You might have seen a lot of ads claiming that India Today’s Ranking for college is No.1 and all, right?

It’s simple to understand, IndiaToday is an Indian magazine and they don’t have an academic or clinical criterion to rank any college. 😛

If you want to take MBBS admission to the best colleges, then you must keep in mind the following:

  1. Excellent patient exposure.
  2. The best faculties.
  3. Latest infrastructure and facilities like laboratory, diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, etc.
  4. Affiliated to a recognized university.
  5. Recognized by the NMC – National Medical Commission.
  6. Hostel and food – Check whether the fees you are paying are worth the hostel and food. You have to stay for over 6 years and I would suggest you check whether it is worth it.
