Missed a NEET seat? Here's how you can still become a doctor
For many Indian students, the dream of becoming a doctor runs deep. And even if you didn't secure an MBBS seat through NEET, that dream doesn't have to end. With the right mindset and information, studying MBBS abroad can be a practical, rewarding, and globally respected pathway to becoming the doctor you've always aspired to be. In fact, more and more students who once thought their medical journey was over after NEET are now studying abroad, clearing licensing exams, completing residencies, and practicing successfully in countries like the U.S., U.K., Canada, and even back in India. Your ambition to heal and serve shouldn't stop at borders. The journey may begin outside India, but the destination is still within reach. Rethinking the Path: Why MBBS Abroad Is a Smart Choice There's a growing shift in how students and parents perceive international medical education. No longer seen as a backup, it is becoming a strategic first choice for those who want access to quality education, global exposure, and structured career pathways. Here's why studying MBBS abroad is increasingly worth considering: Seats Without a Waiting Game Repeating NEET means losing a year with no guarantee of success. Abroad, many universities offer direct admission after Class 12, with no complex counseling rounds or uncertainty. This allows students to move forward without delay and focus on their medical training. Structured Pathways to Licensure International medical programs often align with the requirements for USMLE (U.S.), PLAB (U.K.), or NExT (India). Many universities provide early and ongoing support for these exams, helping students stay on track for residency and licensure from the start. Global Clinical Exposure Training in hospitals abroad offers exposure to advanced medical practices, modern technology, and diverse patient cases. This real-world experience builds clinical skills and confidence, which are critical for future doctors aiming to practice globally. English-Medium Programs with International Faculty Most reputable institutions abroad, particularly in regions like the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia, offer English-taught programs with experienced international faculty. Students adapt quickly and gain access to high-quality instruction without language barriers. Affordability with Flexible Options Studying MBBS abroad is often more cost-effective than enrolling in private medical colleges in India. Many international institutions offer scholarships, flexible payment plans, and education loan options in partnership with Indian financial institutions. Planning the Right Move To make the most of this opportunity, students and families should take the following steps: · Research thoroughly: Look into the university's academic reputation, alumni outcomes, and residency placements. · Check global recognition: Confirm listings in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) and eligibility for ECFMG certification if planning to practice in the U.S. · Understand the curriculum: Learn how long the program lasts, how clinical training is structured, and what exam preparation is built into the course. · Plan finances carefully: Budget for tuition, living costs, travel, exams, and other expenses. Explore education loan options early in the process. The Road Ahead: Global Possibilities The world is opening up to well-trained, committed medical graduates. Choosing to study abroad is not a compromise. It is a confident step forward. With the right guidance, determination, and institution, your path to becoming a doctor is still very much alive.

‘Unity Among Doctors Gives Strength to Serve Society'
1 2 Nagpur: Unity among doctors is the strength that helps us safeguard our profession, ensure ethical practice, and serve society better, said Dr Ravi Chavan, dean of Indira Gandhi Government Medical College & Hospital (IGGMCH), as he addressed the gathering during the Doctors' Day celebrations organised by the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Nagpur Branch, on Tuesday. The event was held at the IMA Hall, North Ambazari Road, to mark National Doctors' Day, observed in memory of Bharat Ratna Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. This year's theme, 'Behind the Mask: Who Heals the Healers?', highlighted the emotional and mental health challenges faced by healthcare professionals and called for greater empathy and support from society. Dr Rajesh Sawarbandhe, president of IMA Nagpur, stressed the importance of acknowledging doctors not just for their clinical service but also for their silent battles. "While the nation rightly looks to doctors as saviours, it's crucial for society to also understand the invisible struggles faced by the medical fraternity. Today is about honouring that dedication and also about reminding ourselves that doctors, too, are human beings who need care and compassion," he said. Senior doctors who dedicated decades of service to the medical field and community welfare were also felicitated on occasion. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dieses Hörgerät kann 2025 alles verändern Gutes Hören Undo Those honoured included Dr Prashant Rahate, Dr Vasant Khalatkar, Dr Chandrashekhar Gillurkar, Dr Mahendra Sawarkar, Dr Harish Chandak, Dr Pratibha Dawande, Dr Mala Kamble, Dr Rafat Khan, Dr Vithalrao Dange, and Dr Harish Kedia.

Where are Indian medical aspirants heading? Top countries and FMGE realities
Every year on International Doctors' Day, celebrated globally on July 1, the spotlight returns to the critical role of doctors in society. In India, where the number of NEET UG aspirants crossed over 24 lakh in 2025, this day also serves as a reminder of the aspirations of thousands who hope to wear the white coat but are unable to secure a medical seat due to limited opportunities at home. With just over 1 lakh MBBS seats available across the country, many qualified candidates, despite competitive scores, find themselves without admission. For these students, studying medicine abroad has become more than an alternative. NEET UG Result: Getting a seat in India seems difficult? Here's how to choose the right medical college abroad This shift has given rise to a growing trend: Indian students migrating to countries like Russia, China, the Philippines, Georgia, and even further afield to generally popular study abroad destinations such as Canada, Australia, and the United States for medical education. While countries like the US, UK, and Australia host students in broader academic disciplines, a significant chunk of those heading to Eastern Europe and parts of Asia do so specifically to pursue MBBS-equivalent courses. According to data from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), as of January 1, 2024, over 11.6 lakh Indian students were studying in higher education institutions abroad. While this figure includes students across all streams, not just medicine, it offers valuable insight into the larger outbound education trend. Here's a country-specific overview of the top destinations we've observed starting in 2019: Canada tops the list with 4.27 lakh students, largely in postgraduate and diploma programs followed by the United States with 3.37 lakh Indian students pursuing undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses. The UK hosts around 1.85 lakh, bolstered by streamlined post-study work visas. Australia follows with 1.22 lakh, while Germany and Russia have around 42,997 and 24,940 Indian students respectively. Although destinations like Canada and the US are known for broader education tracks including tech, management, and STEM, countries like Russia and Ukraine, with lower tuition and easy compliance with NEET eligibility, have become prominent destinations specifically for medical aspirants. Looking at the last five years of the outbound student movement, some interesting trends emerge. Countries like Canada and the US have shown steady increases in Indian enrolment post-pandemic. However, Russia, despite geopolitical instability, has maintained its popularity among MBBS aspirants due to low tuition fees and cultural support. The numbers, for instance, jumped from just over 12,500 in 2019 to nearly 25,000 in 2023. National Doctors' Day 2025: List of scholarship for MBBS aspirants Notably, Ukraine, which was once a top medical destination, has seen reduced enrolment since the 2022 war. Students are increasingly choosing Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and the Philippines as emerging medical hubs. These destinations offer English-medium instruction and cost-effective MBBS programmes, often charged between Rs 15 and 35 lakh for the entire course. While going abroad may seem like an accessible solution, returning to India and practicing legally is not automatic. All foreign-trained medical graduates are required to clear the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) conducted by the National Board of Examinations (NBE). The exam acts as a screening test for granting provisional or permanent registration under the Medical Council of India. Data from FMGE 2024 shows just how widespread Indian enrolment in foreign medical programs is. Here are the top countries based on number of candidates appearing for FMGE in 2024 – These numbers reflect not only the volume of medical students going abroad but also the challenging path to becoming a licensed practitioner in India. It would be worth noting that of the total 79,000 appearing in the FMGE 2024, only 20,382 qualified, recording a dismal pass-rate of 25.8% leading to many students struggle to clear the exam despite earning a degree abroad. Odisha govt to set up nine new medical colleges says Health and Family Welfare Minister The allure of a medical degree coupled with limited seats in India has led students to weigh factors like cost, language, cultural compatibility, FMGE success rates, and post-graduation pathways. Countries like Bangladesh and Nepal are preferred for their curriculum similarity with Indian standards, leading to slightly better FMGE outcomes. In contrast, places like China and Kyrgyzstan continue to draw large numbers despite mixed exam performance data. In an earlier interaction with the vice-chancellor of a leading medical institute in Russia, learnt that the sustained interest of Indian students in Russian medical universities is driven by long-standing bilateral ties, cost advantages, and student-focused infrastructure. With Russian MBBS courses ranging between Rs 18 lakh and Rs 45 lakh, significantly lower than most private medical institutes in India, the affordability factor stands out. Additionally, universities provide tailored facilities for Indian students, including gender-specific hostels, Indian food, and cultural support units.
