The main reason why most people prefer to study MBBS in China is that universities have very high world rankings and have a vast and highly developed infrastructure. Infrastructure wise, Chinese medical universities are better and bigger than their counterparts in Russia or Ukraine. Also, many of the universities rank among the top-500 in the world. However, FMGE result wise, Indian students from countries such as Bangladesh, the Philippines and Ukraine have performed better.
The cost of education is not very high, and China is geographically close to India. Also, it is the only country which comes close to India with regards to population and also the number of patients. This is why thousands of students plan to study MBBS in China. The duration of MBBS in China is 1 year less when compared to Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, many students prefer to study medicine in China over Ukraine or Russia. However, FMGE result is better after MBBS in Ukraine.
All the medical colleges and universities in China where Global Medical Foundation helps students get admission are approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), Medical Council of India (MCI) and Ministry of Education, China (MOE).

No more FMGE - NEXT is the future!
Before we know about MBBS abroad, we must know about FMGE and NEXT.
Earlier, the students who used to study MBBS from abroad were required to give a licensing exam whereas the students studying in India were not required to sit for any such exam. This licensing exam for foreign medical graduates was called the FMGE (Foreign Medical Graduate Examination). It was also known as the MCI Screening Test. Only students who have studied from the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada were exempted.
“Candidate seeking provisional or permanent registration shall not have to qualify the licensing exam if he/she holds an Under Graduate medical qualification from Australia/Canada/New Zealand/United Kingdom/United States of America and the holder thereof has also been awarded a Post Graduate medical qualification in Australia/Canada/New Zealand/ United Kingdom/United States of America and has been recognized for enrolment as a medical practitioner in that country.”
– FMGE 2019 information bulletin.
For students who take admission in 2020 –
In 2019, the FMGE was replaced by the National Exit Test. NEXT will be a common licensing exam for students who study in abroad and also in India.
Indian students who study in India will also have to give licensing exam now. The same exam will be given by the Indian students who do their MBBS from abroad. The NEXT exam is expected to start in 2022. Even if there is a 1-2 year delay, those who are taking MBBS admission from 2020 onwards in India or abroad will be appearing for NEXT in the future.
NEXT will also replace NEET-PG. This means that you will get a license and a chance to get a PG seat in India on the basis of your performance in the NEXT exam.

Disadvantages of studying MBBS in China
Global Medical Foundation will strongly insist on not selecting MBBS in China due to the low FMGE pass percentage. There are very few medical colleges where the FMGE result has been good. You should select one of those colleges only.
Following is the FMGE or MCI Screening Test Passing Percentage from China (source: Indian Express) –
- In 2014 – Of the 3,935 graduates from China who appeared for FMGE, 352 (8.9 per cent) cleared it.
- In 2015 – 3,536 candidates appeared but 275 (7.7 per cent) passed.
- In 2016, 3,772 candidates appeared but only 261 (6.9 per cent) passed.
FMGE is a screening test that has to be cleared by foreign medical graduates before they can register with the Medical Council of India. The average pass percentage for FMGE is 20-25 per cent from good colleges.
FMGE passing percentage is higher after MBBS from Bangladesh, the Philippines and Ukraine.
Same case in other countries: It was also recently published that only 35% Nepali student cleared the screening test of their country after MBBS from China whereas 60% Nepali students cleared their screening test after MBBS from Bangladesh.
Basically, MBBS from China is not the best option.
We would suggest that you look for other options like MBBS in Bangladesh, MBBS in the Philippines, MBBS in Ukraine.
Other disadvantages include –
- The students need to learn the local language and are also required to clear HSK exam until level 4.
- During the internship, the students are not allowed to touch patients. It is more like an observership. It is better to clear the screening test and do an internship in India.
- Training is done on dummies and not on cadavers.
