In this blog, I will share a step-by-step guide on how to apply for MBBS abroad along with application requirements, timeline, and some FAQs answered. So let’s get started
The first and most important step is to make a list of countries and colleges you are interested in. Popular destinations like Russia, Kazakshatan, China, Philippines, Caribbean islands all offer quality MBBS programs for Indian students.
Do your research thoroughly and shortlist colleges that match your preferences and budget. Also consider factors like medium of instruction, eligibility criteria, duration of course, etc.
Once you have your list ready, ensure you meet the eligibility criteria set by your chosen universities. This usually includes:
Completing class 12 with minimum marks (e.g. 50% in PCBE)
Appearing for entrance tests like NEET, IELTS, SAT, etc.
Submitting documents to prove previous academics and extracurriculars
So prepare for relevant entrance exams simultaneously while applying.
Here are the key documents needed when applying for MBBS admission abroad:
Class 10 and 12 marksheets
School leaving certificate

Passport copies
Entrance exam scores (NEET, IELTS etc.)

Having all documents ready in advance will help smooth application process.
Once documents are ready, next step is submitting application form to chosen universities. This includes:

Each university will have its own application procedure. Follow instructions carefully.
After applying, comes the anxious wait! It can take 2-12 weeks to hear back after you submit your foreign MBBS application.
