Introduction: Why Choose MBBS in Mongolia?

Keep the dream of becoming a Doctor alive

Studying MBBS abroad has always been one of the most in-demand careers for Indian students. We all know that becoming a doctor brings respect, authority, money, and a sense of service to humankind. Doctors are the equivalent of gods in India. Becoming a doctor is a dream for lakhs of Indian students, and for many, it’s a passion.

Every year, lakhs of students dream of securing a medical seat in India. Each year, more than 20 lakh Indian students appear for NEET. With around 1.29 lakh seats in India, around 5-6% of students get a seat. What about the remaining 20 lakh plus students?

The remaining students either have to make the difficult decision of reappearing for NEET year after year, in the hope of beating the insanely high competition or give up on becoming a doctor entirely. However, we all know that there is another way! If you are willing to put in the hard work and have the passion and drive required to become a doctor, then you should consider studying MBBS abroad in a top destination like Mongolia.

What makes Mongolia a Top MBBS Abroad Country

Among the many countries offering medical education abroad, studying MBBS in Mongolia has rapidly emerged as a top choice — especially for students seeking quality education at affordable fees. An MBBS in Mongolia provides an internationally recognised degree that fulfils the FMGL Regulations (as per the Ministry of Education of Mongolia), strong clinical exposure due to the high population density in Ulaanbaatar, and a supportive learning environment thanks to the teachers at Etugen University. Mongolia offers a 6-year medical course in English medium.

MBBS in Mongolia – Best Alternative to Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan

In recent years, medical universities in popular MBBS abroad destinations like Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and even Georgia have started accepting thousands of Indian students each intake. This raises a serious question about the quality of education in such universities. There are many universities where hundreds of students are expelled each year. Moreover, students do not get hostel facilities and do not get proper food at the Indian mess in such universities. These are all real problems that Indian students face, especially at many Russian medical universities. MBBS in Mongolia is the answer to all the problems Indian students face while studying MBBS abroad in these countries.

Etugen University, Mongolia, by Global Medical Foundation

Etugen University in Mongolia offers a 6-year MBBS program, fully taught in English, with modern infrastructure, clinical practice opportunities in hospitals of Ulaanbaatar, and a safe, multicultural campus environment.

To help Indian students and parents understand the admission requirements, here are the eligibility criteria for the 6-year MBBS program at Etugen University, Mongolia.

🎓 Academic Qualifications

• Completed 12th or equivalent from a board which is recognised in India
• Mandatory subjects: Physics, Chemistry, English & Biology
• Minimum aggregate of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (for the general category)
• Minimum aggregate of 40% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology (for SC/ST/OBC — as per Indian norms)
• Clear an online interview conducted by Etugen University

📝 NEET Requirement

As per the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India, all Indian students must secure the qualifying marks in NEET-UG to pursue MBBS abroad. The NEET result is valid for 3 years for MBBS abroad. If you take admission for MBBS abrod without qualifying NEET, you will not be allowed to appear for the licensing exam in India (FMGE).

📍 Age Criteria

• Minimum age: 17 years on or before 31st December of the admission year
• No upper age limit (subject to updates by NMC)

The National Medical Commission of India introduced the Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate Regulations (FMGL Regulations) in November 2021. If you are an Indian passport holder who wishes to study MBBS abroad and then appear for the licensing exam in India (FMGE), you must fulfil all the conditions set out in the FMGL Regulations.

Unfortunately, as of 1st March 2026, NMC has failed to inform us which countries or universities are currently fulfilling the regulations. This has led to uncertainty about the validity of medical degrees from all countries abroad.

Therefore, we are dependent on the university/appropriate government body for an answer. Regarding Mongolia’s MBBS degree, the Ministry of Education of Mongolia has stated that, in their view, the medical degree of Etugen University in Mongolia fulfils the conditions laid down under the FMGL Regulations.

One of the biggest pain points for Indian students studying MBBS abroad is either the quality of the accommodation or the hostel provided. Either the hostels are in very poor, unhygienic conditions, or if they are good, they are very costly.

However, the hostels provided by Etugen University are the best of both worlds. They are fully furnished, hygienic, with attached bathrooms and a washing machine for every room, and most importantly, they are provided at a reasonable cost. Check the hostel video of Etugen University in Mongolia:

Mongolia, officially known as the State of Mongolia, is a landlocked country in East and Central Asia nestled between Russia to the north and China to the south, east, and west. The country has a rich cultural heritage shaped by the legacy of the Mongol Empire and the legendary Genghis Khan.

Mongolia is a secular country, meaning there is freedom of religion and no official state religion. People are very respectful of different faiths, and international students do not face religious restrictions. The majority of Mongolians follow Tibetan Buddhism. Mongolian society is:

• Traditionally spiritual but not rigidly religious

• Respectful toward foreigners

• Focused more on education and social life than religious enforcement

The capital city, Ulaanbaatar, is the country’s economic and educational hub — home to the largest universities, modern hospitals, research institutions, and multicultural student communities. Ulaanbaatar has a population of around 18 lakh. Etugen University is located in Ulaanbaatar.

Indian time is 2.5 hours behind Ulaanbaatar (e.g., 9:00 AM IST = 11:30 AM ULAT). The currency of Mongolia is Mongolian Tugrik. A flight between Delhi and Ulaanbaatar takes around 14 hours with 1 stop. Common routes:

• Via Delhi → Beijing → Ulaanbaatar

• Via Delhi → Seoul → Ulaanbaatar

Mongolia experiences a continental climate:

• Summer (June–August): Warm days and cool nights

• Winter (November–March): Extreme cold, dry, and snowy, temperatures can drop to -20°C to -35°C

Students should prepare for cold winter conditions, particularly if coming from warmer climates in India.

According to World Population Review, Mongolia ranks as the 7th safest country in Asia and the 37th Safest Country in the World. Ulaanbaatar is generally safe for international students. There are separate hostels available for boys and girls, which is another plus.
