MBBS Abroad: Practicing & PG Admissions in India - Madhuri's Q&A

Ans: Hello Anthati,

First and foremost, thank you for getting in touch with us. I am happy to hear that you are currently pursuing the first year of your MBBS degree and wish to pursue your Master’s abroad. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that choosing to study medicine overseas for your postgraduate degree can indeed be a gratifying choice. As a first step, conduct an extensive study on countries as well as universities that offer programs that best resonate with your hobbies and future professional ambitions. Remember, a number of countries have particular prerequisites set in place for international students that need to be considered, viz., appearing for standardized tests (such as PLAB, USMLE, or AMC) and English language competency tests viz., the TOEFL or IELTS. To secure admission to prominent programs, a robust educational background is crucial and thus, I would recommend that you concentrate on doing well in your MBBS studies. Maintain a high Grade Point Average (GPA) and actively engage in extracurricular activities or research possibilities associated with your field of study. Moreover, to boost your profile when enrolling to postgraduate programs overseas, look into acquiring hands-on experience. Not just that, build relationships with experts in your study field as well as acquire advice from academic advisors and mentors as they have expertise in international medical training and can offer meaningful information. Furthermore, create a detailed plan that entails application deadlines, schedules to prepare for exams, as well as monetary constraints. To simplify the process of application, compile all the required documents beforehand. Be committed, perseverant, and assertive towards achieving your objectives.

Ans: Hi Israr,
You are required to appear for the NEET, regardless of whether you plan to pursue medicine in India or abroad. Please make an effort to secure a seat in a GMC or at least in a private institution. I strongly advise against going abroad to study medicine, as the expenses are comparable to studying here. It would be better to focus your efforts locally.
