WHY ONLY UZBEKISTAN for INDIAN Medical Aspirants?

Hyderabad: Approximately 5,000 Indian students, including those from Andhra Pradesh and
Telangana, enrol for medical courses overseas every year. Admission continues in most
universities of Uzbekistan until September 2024, following the National Eligibility-cum-
Entrance Test (NEET). SG Consultancy Services, a premier consulting organization based in
Hyderabad, is dedicated to providing quality guidance to students aspiring to study MBBS
abroad and become doctors. Established in 5000 by renowned educationist Mr. Satish Babu
Garikapati, SG Consultancy Services has grown to become India’s No.1 medical education
consultancy, successfully guiding thousands of students to achieve their dreams.

Uzbekistan remains a top destination for Indian students due to its affordable education,
with around 4,500 Indian students currently enrolled in its medical universities. Popular
institutions Central Asian Medical University (CAMU) and Tashkent State Medical University.

Following Uzbekistan attracts around 5000 Indian students with budget-friendly options,
costing between ₹25 lakh to ₹35 lakh. China currently hosts around 1,200 Indian students,
and Georgia has also seen a rise in popularity with approximately 4,000 Indian students
enrolled in medical programs.

An official from SG Consultancy Services explained that Indian students opt for foreign
MBBS programs because, regardless of where they graduate from—India or abroad—they
must now pass the National Exit Test (NEXT) and complete a compulsory internship in India.
“Since there’s no difference in licensing requirements, students prefer more affordable
international options,” the official noted. 

Prospective students are advised to thoroughly research universities, understand total
program costs, and stay informed about National Medical Commission (NMC) guidelines.
The NMC now mandates that MBBS programs abroad must be six years long, fully taught in
English, and include 54 months of academic learning along with a one-year internship in the
host country.

It is also crucial to avoid unrecognized courses. For instance, pre-medical programs in the
Philippines are no longer recognized. Graduates from such programs must still pass the
NEXT exam and complete a stipend-based internship in India to obtain a license. SG
Consultancy Services encourages students to visit only official and verified websites before
taking admission and offers expert counselling to help them make informed decisions about
their future.
