Hello

Studying MBBS Abroad is better if you somehow can't get a seat in any of the government college of India. Because the condition of Indian private medical colleges is not even worth talking about.

So, instead of spending 50–60 lakhs just for the tuition fees and capitation amount for a bullshit private college where there are no teachers, no infrastructure, no opportunities to excel. Studying abroad is the best option in that case.

Hope this might help you.

All the best.
