MBBS Abroad vs India

Do MBBS students studying abroad get the same level of clinical exposure as Indian students?

To be honest, I don’t think that, except probably AIIMS ecosystem, we have any other medical institution or college that maintains the standard for medical training that is required. In the last few years, several new medical colleges have popped up in many tier 2 and tier 3 Indian cities but are they really fit for proper medical training, I highly doubt it.

Therefore, you better score high enough in your NEET examination to get placed in AIIMS. If not, then pack your bag for pursuing medical education abroad.

AIIMS is not the gold standard. There are equally good medical colleges in India. But, yes, many low quality medical colleges also do exist.

Moreover it also solely depends on the student, if they’re sincere enough to pursue the dream to be a doc, they can become the best irrespective of where they study

I have a different view.

Medical education requires rigorous and intensive practicle medical training. And, it is possible only if the college is well equipped with infrastructure and has a trained faculty. Most Indian medical colleges lack both of these two. Students’ ingenuity alone cannot make them a good doctor if they don’t have proper institutional support. There is a reason why doctors hang their medical degrees on their walls. It provides trust to their work.

The standard of a medical school definitely matters.

It’s almost same
In India we can communicate with our own languages but in abroad we need to learn the respective country language to interact with the patients And the fee is way more less as compared to private institutions in India
