But there is a catch
Universities in Philippines follows American system of education. The medical UG course ( India’s MBBS) is divided into 2 parts, BS+MD. BS is 2 years course followed by 4 years of MD. Between BS and MD, students need to appear for an exam called NMAT. ( National medical aptitude test). Students need to score over 40 percentile in this test to qualify for MD course. Generally, Indian students clear this exam as you need to score 40 percentile only. ( Hope you know the difference between percentage and percentile). Also, you can take NMAT exam again ( it happens every 6 months) but still continue your course.
So if you are confident of clearing this exam, go for Philippines. It is the best country to study barring this factor.
When you are committed to study then nothing can stop you and Philippines is the perfect destination. LiveDr Admissions have made 100s of students dream come true, trust us and we got your back.
