MBBS in Kazakhstan
MBBS in
Kazakhstan has been one of the
popular options for Indian students. Why? Because the course duration for MBBS
from Kazakhstan is just 5 years. Also, the overall budget required to study
MBBS in Kazakhstan is very less. It is cheaper to study in Kazakhstan when
compared to countries such as Ukraine, Bangladesh, the Philippines. A good
number of Indian students are now choosing to study MBBS from Kazakhstan.
Moreover, with the outbreak of coronavirus in China, students now want an alternate
with good infrastructure, low fee and 5 year duration. The option of Kazakhstan
is good for such students.
Kazakhstan is one of the 10 countries from
which more than 1,000 students appeared for FMGE between 2015-18. A large
number of Rajasthani students go to Kazakhstan for MBBS. Kazakhstan has both
government and private medical colleges and some are ranked among the top 250
colleges in the world. However, we need to look at the quality of education for
an Indian student after MBBS from Kazakhstan.
We would recommend
MBBS in Ukraine, Russia or Bangladesh rather than to study MBBS in
Kazakhstan as the FMGE passing percentage is higher in other
countries. For students who still want 5-year duration and low fee, then the
best bet is Kazakhstan.
