Hello Amit :)



Begin by searching the Internet for the best colleges in the field of Medical Science, you will come up with a list of top 10 which include universities mainly from the USA and the UK along with a number of universities from Canada, Sweden, Bulgaria, Japan and many more that are present in the top 50.



This is one of the places where we face our first problem which comes in the form of a list of approved foreign colleges by the MCI. Now this list contains only two universities from the top 10 so you know it's better if you decide to pursue your career abroad meaning you continue it entirely abroad rather than come back to India because that would be problematic for you if you do it from an unapproved university.



Since most of the top universities are from the USA and the UK, I will tell you the procedure of admission for both of these countries.



First let's go with the admission procedure in the USA:



1. Since you are doing your 10 + 2 in India, it is counted as 5 semesters in the USA and the requirement is 9 semesters. Hence, an additional course of four semesters (about 16 months) is required, which is known as pre medical. This grants you a B.Sc degree.



2. The Bachelor of Science degree is necessary for you to be eligible for the MCAT exam which stands for Medical College Admission Test and it is a prerequisite that you have an exceptionally good score in this test so that you may be selected since international students already have a very less percentage of chances of selection.



3. The MCAT exam can be taken unlimited times but only thrice in one year. Once you are satisfied with your MCAT score, you can go ahead and apply for the universities that you think are appropriate for you (in terms of fee structure and other expenditures).



4. The fee structure in the medical colleges of USA have an average fees of about $50,000 per year which is about 32 lacs in Indian currency. The overall fees depends on the course duration. Due to this very reason, many colleges are requesting most students to consider before they apply for MBBS in their college.



5. Last but not the least, MBBS is known as MD in the USA.



Now, let's look at the admission procedure in UK:



1. Your first concern over here is to achieve exceptional scores in your grade 12 that isabove 95% in Biology, Chemistry and English language mainly.



2. Next you'll have to clear the TOEFL exam with good scores.



3. Next comes the UKCAT exam. It stands for UK Clinical Aptitude Test (The result is valid for upto a year).



4. You may be required to submit letters of recommendation or statements including your physical condition, achievements and extracurricular activities.



5. Interviews conducted by the colleges is the final step. They vary from college to college.



Hope this helps.

All the best!

Hii Amit

To study medicine abroad, English language proficiency exam (IELTS, PTE, etc) are mandatory. As per your question, you are looking for MBBS, i.e. bachelors in Medicine -



MCAT- medical college admission test to get admission in any medical college of north america



As far as i know for the undergraduation degree, there's no such special medical entrance exam in countries like ukraine, russia , phillipines,kyrgyzstan or bangladesh!



ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA for abroad



The basic or minimum requirements are -The Indian student must have attained the age of 17 years and has passed 10+2 Level from any recognized Council/Board of India or abroad.



He/She must have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as elective subjects and obtained minimum 50% in aggregate of PCB combined. Also, they must have studied and passed English as a compulsory subject.



There are exceptions for some of the colleges-like higher percentage required or the student must have completed 12th the same year or the previous year!



i guess these are the sufficient criterias that would help you get admitted abroad!



Best  of luck.
