Frequently Asked Questions About MBBS Abroad

Honest answers to the questions every student and parent asks us.

NEET long-term vs MBBS abroad — which is better?

Out of 21 lakh NEET aspirants, only about 1.05 lakh secure MBBS seats in India (government and private combined). If you missed a government seat by fewer than 100 marks, one more NEET attempt is worth considering. If the gap is larger, NMC Approved MBBS abroad is a legitimate, globally recognised path to becoming a doctor.

What is the minimum NEET score to study MBBS abroad?

The minimum qualifying NEET score to be eligible for MBBS abroad varies by year and category — generally between 97 and 130 marks. You do not need a high rank; you just need to clear the qualifying threshold. Contact us to confirm the current cutoff for your reservation category.

Is an MBBS degree from abroad valid in India?

Yes — provided the university is NMC Approved and all NMC gazette conditions are met. After returning to India, you must complete a 12-month supervised internship and clear the NeXT (National Exit Test). All Wisera partner universities are pre-verified for NMC compliance.

What is the realistic total budget for MBBS abroad?

Agencies that advertise 14-18 lakh packages typically exclude hostel, food, travel, books, insurance, and miscellaneous costs. The realistic all-inclusive budget at a quality NMC Approved university is Rs. 25-35 lakhs for the full 6-year program. For budgets below Rs. 20 lakhs, we strongly advise against falling into misleading packages.

Can I get a bank loan for MBBS abroad?

Yes. Under RBI regulations, Indian students pursuing education abroad can avail education loans from nationalised banks. The amount depends on parents' income proof (three years of ITR or salary certificate). Visit your nearest nationalised bank branch for terms and conditions. We can assist with the documentation process.

What are the complete NMC rules for foreign MBBS graduates?

Per the NMC Gazette (18/11/2021), a foreign medical graduate must: complete a minimum 54-month course in English medium with mandatory Schedule-I subjects; complete a 12-month internship at the same foreign institution; obtain a license to practice medicine in the degree-awarding country; complete a 12-month supervised internship in India; and clear the NeXT exam. Failure to meet any single criterion bars NMC registration.

How do I choose the best college for MBBS abroad?

Key factors: NMC gazette compliance confirmed, host country medical license available to Indian students, English medium instruction, city population above 7 lakh for patient exposure, university age minimum 70 years in medicine, WDOMS/WHO listing, Indian Embassy in the country, and international airport in the city. Our counselors shortlist universities that meet all these criteria for your profile and budget.
