Total cost of usmle 3steps examsfor Indian medical students?
Step 2 CS is to be taken inside US only. Hence including transportation cost, flight costs,housing costs, Step 2cs will cost you 2.5-3 lakh
Optional Electives will cost 3-4 lakh for 3-4 months
Interviewing season will cost you 4-5 lakh altogether.
I'm not mentioning Step 3 because that's optional and can be taken after you get a job at a hospital.
The USMLE is a licensing exam to pursue residency in the US and practice there.
A doctor needs to qualify the Step 1, step 2 CK and CS in order to be eligible for the match.
Briefly one should be willing to invest around 15 to 20 lakh INR for the entire process until match.
Hope this helps.
Good luck! :)
