Hi Gunjan,
Getting admission in a good medical or engineering college is a big cause of worry for students while parents get a heart attack looking at the hefty capitation fees. With pressure of 12th standard marks and the money involved, the whole process is quite intimidating for the students. In Indore, the price of an MBBS seat ranges from Rs 30 lakh and 35 lakh while a PG seat stands between Rs 70 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore. The most preferred branches are radiology, orthopedics, dermatology, psychiatry, obstetrics and gynecology.

Hi Gunjan,
It has always been the policy of the Indian government to have more general physicians who can work in villages and not specialists. They want more foot soldiers and not more generals. Not only the number of PG seats is low, the subject wise distribution is very awkward. One state has more than 100 PG seats for anesthesia, other has less than 10 seats for Pediatrics. I do not know if there is any advance planning by MCI or Government about the number of specialists' requirement 3 years down the line. Same is the problem with post PG courses. Supply does match with the demand in society, production is insufficient , unbalanced and haphazard.

Hi Parul,
If you have enough money to splurge, you could buy yourself a PG Medical specialization seat. Pointing to the widespread corruption in the education system of the country, medical seats in the country are being offered for as much as 1.5 crore. Paying such a huge amount might ensure you a bright future but is a PG medical seat worth all the money?

Dear Esha,
The standard of Medical education in countries like USA, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand is better than in India. In terms of cost, it is very expensive and not affordable for many.
Besides, these countries a lot of Indian students are going to countries like Russia, Philippines, China, etc. The main driving factor is the limitation of MBBS seats in India and hence very few students get admission in free seats or government quota in India.
So, if you compare between these countries and India, my answer is that choose a good college in either India or any of these countries as the quality of education matters a lot in the long run. In India many colleges lack proper infrastructure, facilities and quality faculty. So do many colleges in these foreign countries.
So, India should be preferred if you get a good college at affordable cost or you can consider going abroad to a reputed institution in any of these countries. Do your research well about the Institute as many agents promote institutions where they get more profit.
To know more details, you can write back.
All the best!
Warm Regards,
Anand Dhillon
