Question 1

What is the minimum NEET score required for MBBS abroad in 2026?

Accepted Answer

There is no fixed marks cut-off. The only requirement is a qualified NEET UG result: a score at or above the category qualifying percentile, which is the 50th percentile for General, the 40th for SC, ST and OBC, and the 45th for PwD. The score does not decide eligibility, only the choice of country and university.

Question 2

Which is the best country for MBBS for Indian students?

Accepted Answer

There is no single best country. The right choice balances fees, safety, clinical exposure and FMGE or NExT outcomes. Timor-Leste is the lowest-fee option at about INR 2.5 to 3.5 lakh a year with an Indian curriculum. Kazakhstan and Russia suit budget-conscious families. Georgia costs more but offers a European structure, and the Philippines a US-pattern BS plus MD curriculum.

Question 3

What is the total cost of MBBS abroad, including hostel and food?

Accepted Answer

Total tuition for the full course runs between INR 18 lakh and INR 45 lakh. Hostel and food add roughly INR 6,000 to 12,000 per month, another INR 5 to 9 lakh across the degree. Timor-Leste and Kazakhstan sit at the lower end, Georgia at the top. An Indian private medical college can cost INR 80 lakh to 1.2 crore.

Question 4

Is MBBS in Timor-Leste NMC approved?

Accepted Answer

The NMC has not published a country-wise approval list under the FMGL Regulations 2021, so no country, including Timor-Leste, can be called NMC approved in a blanket way. Universities there have restructured the MBBS to match FMGL requirements: five years of study plus a one-year internship, English medium, Indian curriculum and largely Indian faculty. The university must appear in the World Directory of Medical Schools, and the graduate must clear FMGE or NExT to practise in India.

Question 5

What are the MBBS in Georgia fees for Indian students?

Accepted Answer

Tuition in Georgia is typically INR 6.5 to 8.5 lakh per year, taking the six-year course to roughly INR 35 to 45 lakh. It is the most expensive of the five destinations Abrodify recommends. Students choose it for English-medium teaching, the European Bologna credit structure, hospital rotations and a degree that travels well for the UK, Europe or the USMLE.

Question 6

Can I get an education loan for MBBS abroad without collateral?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most Indian public-sector banks sanction up to INR 7.5 lakh without collateral under the CGFSEL scheme, against a co-applicant's income proof. Above that, banks require collateral such as property or a fixed deposit. Because tuition in Timor-Leste, Kazakhstan and Russia is low, many families fund a full year within the collateral-free limit.

Question 7

Do I have to clear FMGE or NExT to practise in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Indian citizen with a foreign medical degree must clear the screening exam, the FMGE, which is being replaced by NExT, then complete a one-year internship in India before registering with a State Medical Council. Preparation should begin in the third year of the course, not after graduation.

Question 8

Who are the best MBBS abroad consultants in Jaipur, Kota and Sikar?

Accepted Answer

Judge a consultant on three tests: whether they show the university's own fee structure rather than a package price, whether fees are paid directly to the university, and whether they confirm NMC and FMGL compliance in writing. Abrodify counsels students from Jaipur, Kota, Sikar, Ajmer, Jodhpur and Udaipur on those terms, with zero donation and no agent commission.
