MBBS IN EUROPE: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

 THE VERY FIRST DAYS –

 Building a foundation from a younger age is essential, especially considering the amount of competition there is in the field of medical sciences. Don’t worry if you’re opting out late, you just have to work really hard. At a young age, there are some things that are both mandatory and quintessential to a strong foundation.

1. Know your passions: MBBS should not be opted for just because someone gets high marks in their science subjects in high school. In fact, no career path should be chosen this way. Until and unless and you really love Biology, clearing the examinations and studying in Europe would be like running behind a unicorn.
2. Intense Research: The fact that you stumbled upon this article in itself explains that you perhaps are up to research. However, what you also need to research is what it takes to be a doctor and what it’s like to be one. It is important to make a connect between your personality and your career since it’s going to be your pursuit for the rest of your life.
3. Choose Subjects Wisely: Since we’re talking about the early years, it is fairly evident that the students need to opt for science subjects in their 11^th and 12^th Choosing Biology in a senior year is mandatory, while having studying science elaborately throughout your education helps.
4. Cracking NEET: The National Entrance cum Examination Test is a combination of Physics, Chemistry and Biology required to be taken and students who have finished school or are finishing it the same year and wish to study the medical sciences.

THE PREREQUISITES –

Almost everyone is generally aware of the basic pre-requisites of graduating from schools and having an English proficiency certificate, but the most recent change that has been brough about is clearing NEET, which was only limited to students wanting to study in India earlier.

The Medical Council of India (MCI) released a verdict mid-2018, making NEET mandatory for students who wished to study medicine in foreign years and was made effective 2019 onwards. The purpose behind mandating an India-based exam for international application was because many Indian candidates found it incredible arduous to even complete the primary medical course or qualify the screening tests required to practice medicine in those countries after having been admitted into their universities.

The system was built to regulate the flow of candidates, ensure only the worthy and deserving were admitted and to also inculcate the required hard work to clear a medical exam.

The NEET results have been valid for 3 years from its date of declaration, giving a time frame window for students to be able to apply to foreign universities within that period or taking the exam again.
