Searching for the best college for MBBS in the world? I will be writing the answer to this question from the point of view of an Indian student. Now, I am assuming that you are not looking for admission within India or you are looking for other options as an MBBS in India seems unlikely for you. Now, the answer to the question – ‘best college for MBBS in the world‘ will depend on how you define the term best! Here is what a university should have to be called the ‘best college for MBBS in the world‘:
- affordable fees
- high FMGE passing percentage
- availability of Indian food at the mess
- a decent/good number of Indian students
- safe a secure campus
- the full course is in English medium
- easy to get admission in
- getting a visa is easy
I am sure you will agree with me, right? After all, you are looking for a university where you get guaranteed admission in, the overall budget is affordable, you study with about a thousand more Indian students and you get to eat Indian food cooked by Indian chefs. With more than 1,000 Indian students in your college, you will feel like you never left India. You will find students from every state and study full course in English medium.
How to check FMGE passing percentage?
The biggest criteria for an Indian student should be to select a university with a high FMGE passing percentage. Many agents might lie to you about this. That is why I suggest you check MCI Screening Test (FMGE) Result 2012-18. This was released by NBE which conducts the MCI screening test or FMGE.
The university which I will suggest to you will have a very high FMGE or MCI passing percentage. This means that there is something better for the Indian students at this university and the thing which is better is the quality of education!
That is right, the university which I will suggest will be the one which imparts the best quality education to Indian students.
The best college for MBBS in the world is…
If a university outside of India satisfies all the above criteria, it can be termed as the best college for MBBS in the world for an Indian student. There is one college which I will term as the best and before telling which one it is, I will also like to mention that I have personally visited this university and I have sent many students there. In addition to this, I have met many MCI qualified doctors from this university who are practising in India.
The best college for MBBS in the world for an Indian students is Bukovinian State Medical University in Ukraine.
Here is the MCI result of Bukovinian State Medical University:
| MCI Result % (2012-14) | MCI Result % (2015-18) | Tuition Fees Per Year in US $ |
| 30.60% | 29.52% | US $ 3,900 |
Apart from the fact that this university has the best MCI result in all of Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia and Armenia, the tuition fee and overall budget of an MBBS from Bukovinian State Medical University is very low. The total tuition fees for the 2020 session is only approx. ₹16.50 lakh. If you add hostel and Indian mess fees for 6 years, the budget is still less than ₹25 lakh only.

Hello Shobhit,
Thank you for your very informative and unbiased posts. Whatever opinions you give are evidence led and are not one-sided as what is clearly visible by other agents. I applaud you for your honesty. Some quick questions: Do they offer halal food in the Indian mess at the Bukovinian State Medical University, and is there a decent muslim student population from India or Pakistan? Are there any British students there, or British student societies? What are the travel costs to get around Chernivtsi? Is Chernivtsi a dull backdrop, or can students get into other extra-curricular activities? Many thanks for the videos on Youtube and your posts, they are greatly appreciated!
