Questions from students & families

A little clarity.A more confident next step.

Q: Are foreign MBBS degrees valid in India?

They can be, if your course meets the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021: at least 54 months of study, a 12-month internship at the same university, teaching fully in English, the whole course done outside India, and eligibility for a medical licence in that country. You must also clear the licensing exam for foreign medical graduates (currently FMGE) and complete a 12-month internship in India. NMC does not approve or list foreign universities.

Q: Is MBBS in Russia affordable compared to India?

Often, yes. Tuition at many Russian medical universities is lower than at private medical colleges in India. But compare the full cost, not just tuition: hostel, food, insurance, visa, travel and exchange-rate changes. Ask each university for a written fee list for 2027-28 and check that the course meets the NMC FMGL Regulations 2021.

Q: Do Russian MBBS degrees allow me to practise in India?

Yes, if your course meets the NMC Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021 and you clear the licensing exam for foreign medical graduates (currently FMGE) and the 12-month internship in India. Confirm the course length, English teaching and internship arrangement with the university in writing before admission.

Q: How do I choose a course abroad?

Start with what you enjoy, your qualifications and what you want to do next. Compare the actual course, entry requirements, teaching language and full cost. We can help you explore MBBS, Nursing, BBA and MBA options.

Q: When should I start planning for the 2027-28 intake?

Start now. Most courses abroad begin between August and October 2027, and many universities open applications 9 to 12 months before that. MBA schools run application rounds from October 2026, UK nursing applications go through UCAS with a main deadline in January 2027, and MBBS students need to appear for NEET-UG 2027 first. Starting early gives you more choice of universities, scholarships and visa appointments.

Q: What are the entry requirements?

Each university and course has its own requirements. These may include subjects, grades, a previous degree, language tests, entrance tests or work experience. Check the current requirements for your chosen intake with the university.

Q: Which courses can PSP Education help me with?

We guide Indian students for MBBS (medicine), Nursing, BBA and MBA abroad. We help with choosing a course, country and university, checking eligibility, preparing documents, applying, visas, travel and settling in after arrival.

Q: What should I include in my study budget?

Look beyond tuition. Include accommodation, meals, insurance, visa costs, travel, local transport and personal expenses. Ask for a written estimate, check the currency and refund terms, and leave room for unexpected costs.

Q: Which countries can I study in?

Our guides cover Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Moldova, Mongolia, Vietnam, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, the Philippines, Egypt, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Poland, Malaysia and the UAE. The right country depends on your course, budget, marks, language skills and where you want to work later.

Q: What should I check before accepting an offer?

Read the written offer, course details, fees, deadlines and refund terms. Check accommodation and student support. For healthcare courses, also check professional registration requirements where you plan to work.
