- At least 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (relaxed for reserved categories as per NEET norms)

What to Know Before You Decide
The points our counsellors raise with every family considering Vietnam.
Living expenses — food, local transport and personal costs — are not part of the ₹31 lakh figure and should be budgeted separately.
The final cost depends on the specific university and any optional accommodation upgrade; we walk you through it university by university.
Learning basic Vietnamese helps a great deal during clinical years, when you interact with local patients.
You will still need to clear FMGE (or NExT, once implemented) to practise in India.
