Aspirants will need to Clear NEET Study Abroad

Eklavya Overseas. December 15, 2019

National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) will now be compulsory for the students who want to pursue MBBS in Abroad. A proposal was sent for consideration from the authorities and is expected to get cleared by the Union Health Ministry. There have been cases in past where students get admission in MBBS in Abroad by donations or the connections that their parents have overseas. When such students come back to India, most of them fail to clear the essential exam for the license. This is one of the main reasons that the government is considering to allow only students who passed NEET to get an education in foreign countries in the field of medicine. If we check the past data, it is clear that only 13.09% to 26.90% students have been able to pass the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) which is the main requirement for getting a medical license in India. According to the officials, no demand for an entrance test by the foreign medical colleges is one of the main reasons for such a low percentage. Another reason is that the colleges that do not require any entrance exam for the admission are often not as accomplished as they should be.

The non-competitive students get admission in such colleges as they are not able to clear the entrance exam in India. The official said that the government wants only the competent students to pursue the degree in the field of medicine in foreign countries so that they should be aware of the subjects when they return to India. He also mentioned that almost 12 lakhs students appear in entrance exam every year but Indian medical colleges do not have enough seats. It has also come to the notice of the officials that the clinical opportunities are not at par with the requirement of the MCI, in Graduate Medical Regulations. Thus students perform badly in some subjects like community medicine etc. These days, China is the most favorite country to get medical degree followed by Russia, Ukraine, and Nepal.
