MBBS Abroad After NEET — Vietnam & Georgia, From ₹31 Lakhs

Vietnam is currently our most affordable MBBS destination, starting from ₹31 lakhs for the complete 6-year program including tuition, hostel and administration fees. Georgia typically costs $40,000–50,000 (roughly ₹33–42 lakhs) for the full program.

Yes. A qualifying NEET result is mandatory for every Indian student who wants to practise medicine in India after studying MBBS in any foreign country. You need to qualify NEET — you do not need a top rank.

A foreign medical degree is accepted in India when the course meets NMC's Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations, 2021 — at least 54 months of study, a 12-month internship at the same institution, English-medium teaching — and the graduate then clears the Indian licensing exam (FMGE today). Versa Global only places students in programs that meet these rules.

You need a qualifying NEET result, 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English, at least 50% aggregate in PCB (relaxed for reserved categories as per NEET norms), and you must be at least 17 years old by 31 December of the admission year.

Both Vietnam and Georgia run 6-year programs that include clinical training. After returning to India, foreign graduates clear the licensing exam and complete a 12-month supervised internship before permanent registration.

The Foreign Medical Graduate Examination is the screening test conducted by NBEMS, usually twice a year, that foreign medical graduates must pass to register as doctors in India. It has 300 multiple-choice questions and the pass mark is 150. You take it after completing your degree abroad.

The National Exit Test is planned under the National Medical Commission Act as a common exam for licensing and postgraduate entry, and it is intended to replace FMGE for foreign graduates. Its rollout has been deferred more than once, so check current NMC notices as you approach graduation.

Yes. Versa Global works with 20+ banks and NBFCs and prepares the loan file end-to-end. Secured loans backed by property or deposits usually carry lower interest rates; unsecured loans depend on the university, course and your co-applicant's income and credit score.

Vietnam's medical programs typically run September and January intakes. Georgia typically runs September and February intakes. Starting your application three to four months before the intake keeps the visa timeline comfortable.

Beyond NEET qualification and your 10+2 marks, Vietnamese medical universities generally do not require a separate entrance exam, and Georgian universities do not require entrance exams beyond NEET eligibility for Indian students. Some universities hold a short interview.

The total cost is close, so it usually comes down to intake timing, climate and lifestyle preference, and how established the Indian student community is at your shortlisted university. Vietnam suits students who put the lowest cost and a January start first; Georgia has a longer track record of Indian students.
