Every year, a lot of students go abroad to study MBBS. This is because the seats in medical courses in Indian are way less that the deserving students. Many students also dream of becoming good doctors and when that dream is not fulfilled in India, they take decision of pursuing medical program in abroad. Gone are the days, when the abroad education was expensive and out of budget for most of the people. Currently, the MBBS in abroad is not only affordable but comes with high quality education. So, now that one decides to study medicine abroad, the next question that leaves many students and parent baffled, is choosing the best and cheapest country to study MBBS from.
Do Cheapest Medical Universities Really Give Quality Education?
When you are talking about best and cheapest country to pursue medicine, some agents and consultants can suggest you to pursue MBBS in just 15 Lakhs rupees in countries which are below par with the world standards. But do you think guys, doing MBBS from abroad at only 12-15 lakhs would be that effective or high quality. Think about the standard of education.
There are some countries like Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan etc that can give you admissions in their B or C grade universities and low packages and tuition fees but that is sheer wastage of time and money.
Here, we would also tell you that there are some universities in those countries as well.
How to Figure Out the Best Country and University for MBBS abroad?
Therefore, as educational consultants, we’ve all sorts of students coming from various countries to take MCI coaching with us and because of that, we have analysed the quality of education of every country, in fact their universities.
So, based on that, we figured out that Ukraine is the best as well as cheapest country to study abroad. Even Russia and China is affordable too but as the universities are bi-lingual, that can be difficult for the students to study the course in Russian or Chinese.
In Ukraine, the mode of education is entirely in English, which is easier for the Indian students to study MBBS in Ukraine. Local language classes are there but that are just to make you learn the language to interact with the patients during clinical visits to hospitals. The study material and the language in which you’ll study and give exam is English only.
This is why, when we say best and cheapest in the same sentence, we would highly recommend, Ukraine as the best country for foreign medical study. The tuition fees and cost of living is quite in budget, which even the middle class Indian students can afford.

Here please also note that,
These are the universities, where you can go and if an agent or consultant is saying that the fees is high, then please do research on your end or simply call us. Because it is the processing and other charges of the consultant, that would bulk up the total cost of MBBS program in abroad and not the actual tuition fees.
First year charges are more because of the One time charges for the procedures like Invitation letter, air tickets, VISA, document transcription, and more though from the Second year onwards, the student only has to pay for the Tuition fees, hostel and mess, if available.
