Dont wait for NEET next year- Study MBBS Abroad with Scholarship

"The number of NEET applicants seems to increase by about 2 lacks every year while the second reason is that along with the number of applicants, even the required cut-off scores keep increasing year by year."

As we near the end of August, it is a tense period for most Indian Class 12 pass-outs, with the pressure and expectations of college admissions constantly casting a shadow over their futures. This statement holds true, especially for medical aspirants as the NEET examinations are now over and most NEET candidates would find themselves in quite an uneasy situation, knowing that their future still hangs in the balance. This huge segment of students who have not yet secured an MBBS seat have just a handful of options available to them.

Let us now explore the options available to this vast segment of medical aspirants as they try to make it as a qualified medical professional.

• Trying through NEET the next year

Many students who put a lot of time and effort into their preparation for the NEET exam, choose to not give up after their first unsuccessful attempt. This can be either due to failing the NEET exam or not getting the desired outcome after NEET counselling. Although this might sound like a wise choice to many, the chances of succeeding at this is getting slimmer by the year. This can be attributed to two main reasons, the first being that the number of NEET applicants seems to increase by about 2 lacks every year while the second reason is that along with the number of applicants, even the required cut-off scores keep increasing year by year.

"This simply means, that the next year's NEET will be a lot tougher to get through, both in terms of the required scores and also the higher number of competing students compared to previous years."

• Opting for Management Quota

Management quota is a special provision made by most private colleges where an individual can get direct admission into the said institution. While this option expects only minimal score criteria, the downside is the extremely high cost of admission. This is an option that is more dependent almost entirely on the student's spending capacity and not so much on merit.

"The cost of admission using the management quota is at best higher than a crore and in some cases can run into a few crores, depending on the size and reputation of the institution."

• Choosing an alternative line of study

This is an option that is preferred by most students who want to be in the medical field but have given up on their MBBS dreams, either due to failure to match the required scores, lack of funding or other reasons. The list of alternatives for MBBS are many like Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, Unani and Physiotherapy to name a few, along with a vast list of courses on paramedical sciences.

• Selecting an overseas study destination

This is the option where students having seen all their options for MBBS in India not materialize, choose to study MBBS in a foreign country. Although this might sound attractive to most people, quality of education and the success rate of students depends on a lot of factors, with the primary factor being choosing the right country. There is also the added element of cost, as this option will not only include the tuition fees, but also the student's living expenses. This overall cost of overseas study will vary depending on the country of study. There are also other very important factors to consider before choosing the study destination like local language, lifestyle, cuisine, safety, student success rate and many more.

"This option has developed into a recent trend as more and more Indian students now look to go abroad to pursue their medical education. "

Choosing the right destination

It is common knowledge that countries like USA, UK and Australia are usually considered as the top tier destinations for overseas study. This can be largely attributed to the fact that these are highly developed countries, their official language is English, they are known for top-quality education, student exposure and post-study career opportunities. With so many positive elements, studying in these countries can be immensely expensive, usually running into a few crore rupees. But not all overseas study destinations are expensive as there are also countries like China, Russia and the Philippines where the expenses are considerably less. These low-cost destinations come with a host of challenges for India students like learning the local language as English is not the official language, difficulty in obtaining a travel visa, international recognition of the degree, quality of education, quality of student life, safety and security.

Now, given all the key facts discussed above, have you ever considered South America as your next study destination?

"The historically and culturally rich country of Guyana is located on the northern mainland of South American continent. This beautiful coastal country has some of the best living and learning conditions for students, especially for Indians students."
