Is NEET compulsory for MBBS in abroad 2020?

The Medical Council of India (MCI), in March 2018 made it clear that qualifying NEET, a centralized entrance exam for admission to MBBS and BDS courses offered by all the Government and Private medical institutions in the country was mandatory for getting admission in MBBS or any equivalent medical course in a medical university/college/institute outside of the country on or after 1st June 2018 for Indian nationals or overseas citizens of India.

The MCI has also seen to it that the medical universities in countries like China, Russia, Ukraine, the Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, etc. do not accept Indian students without NEET by sending out notifications to the respective Indian Embassies.

The notice by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine on 8 September 2018 emphasizes NEET as eligibility criteria for admission for the MBBS course. It also reads that agents/companies/universities who admit the students for the course for the September 2018 session will be blacklisted and will be held answerable for the admission. This might even lead to the cancellation of their MCI recognition.

In September 2018, the MCI gave a dispensation for those who hadn’t qualified the NEET, following the students and parents approaching the Delhi High Court regarding this. The MCI also made its stand clear by mentioning that from the 2019-20 session, qualifying NEET is mandatory for MBBS admission abroad.

This is aimed at controlling the number of students planning to pursue MBBS abroad. Various agencies and educational consultants have been coming up, promising cheap medical education in foreign countries, since the introduction of NEET in India, as it paves the way for MBBS aspirants to bypass NEET as no formal entrance test is conducted for admission to MBBS courses in several foreign universities. All the aspirants, however, have to appear for FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination) organized by MCI to register as medical practitioners in India.

The students who take admission for MBBS abroad without qualifying NEET will have to face the consequences sooner rather than later. They would be barred from taking the screening test in India, after the course completion. This would mean that they can’t practice in India as their MBBS degree would be invalid.

Exploring the options for taking up MBBS without NEET, one cannot acquire direct admission to any of the MCI recognized institutions. However, MBBS from the Philippines comes as a viable option, where you can pursue a pre-medical course or BS course without NEET.

Client Testimonial

MBBS Abroad is a big decision and your success depends upon the honesty of your consultant. It is a long process starting from choosing the right college to reaching there at college door step and finally studying there for next 5-6 years. You are in a new country without many old friends. We were sure to approach a consultant who is based out of our district only so that not only during admission but for next 6 years, we can have smooth interactions. So, we approached GKWorks as they have a branch in Saharanpur. As we anticipated, there are lot of things to be done during admission process that goes for 3-4 months. At every step, it was useful for us to have our consultant who was only 20 minutes’ drive from our home. We were able to discuss everything face to face any day and thus were able to have easy process.

Best thing about Vivek Gupta Sir is his selfless counselling. As I am already a BSC/ MSC, he suggested me to go to Philippines as I was able to get straight admission into MD and this finishes my entire course in 4 years flat. In any other country, it would have taken by 5.5-6 years. Ms Kanimojhi in Chennai office of GKWorks was equally supportive in coordination regarding documents, departure and all other formalities.

We live 100 Km’s away from Varanasi. The internet connection in our town is very weak and my parents are not that educated. For us, understanding the word RTGS was also very difficult. Thanks to Amit Pandey Sir, who is Gkworks Varanasi incharge, he helped us to do all small things. Going with us to get forex to helping us doing RTGS for fee payment, he was always there with us. He only helped us to apply for passport online and went with us to passport office Varanasi. Such support at ground level was provided by GKworks team both in Varanasi and Delhi.

My parents were not very comfortable to send me abroad especially my mother as I am the only son of my parents. I really wanted to become a doctor and thus approached Hemant Mishra Sir, director of Bareilly branch of GKWorks. He went out of his way to convince my mother. He would have come 5 times to my home, invited us to his office and home 10 times before my mother was finally convinced. It is only due to Hemant Sir in Bareilly that I am pursuing my course today. I wish GKworks and especially Bareilly branch all the very best to help many more students for their life dreams.
