"Why More Indian Students are Choosing Nepal for Medical Studies: Insights from Chitwan Medical College"

Advantages of Studying MBBS in Nepal

Studying MBBS in Nepal offers several advantages for Indian students. Both countries share a common medical curriculum as they adhere to guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Nepal Medical Council (NMC). This curriculum compatibility ensures that the course content and academic standards are similar, making it easier for Indian students to adapt to their medical education in Nepal. Moreover, the cost of medical education in Nepal is significantly lower than in many private medical colleges in India.

The geographic proximity and cultural similarities between Nepal and India further ease the transition for Indian students, enabling them to adapt quickly to the local environment and visit home easily during vacations. The medium of instruction in Nepalese medical institutions is English, eliminating any language barriers. Additionally, degrees from recognized medical colleges in Nepal are eligible for registration with the Medical Council of India (MCI). After obtaining their MBBS degrees, students can take the MCI screening test to practice medicine in India.
