Advantages |
Disadvantages |
No donation or capitation fees required |
The students need to learn Chinese language as an additional subject up to HSK-4 level to ensure interaction with the patients in the hospital. The language classes is a part of the program and there are no additional fees for the same but it is not similar to English at all. |
All MCI approved universities are government funded meaning the cost of tuition fees is very low in comparison to Indian private colleges ranging from Rs. 2.5 to Rs. 4.5 Lacs per year |
China has more than 35% of the universities in MCI approved list which are ‘C’ grade and offer very low quality education and experience. It makes it mandatory to select the university very carefully. |
Extremely low living cost almost similar to Indian living cost of around 7,000 per month. |
English speaking capability and accents is not of good quality making it difficult for the students to understand especially till they have learnt HSK-2 level themselves. |
There is no entrance test requirement to get the admission and it is only done on the basis of class 12. |
In the hospitals, international students are not allowed to touch the patients during internship and instead it works out to be only a kind of observer-ship. |
World class infrastructure on the campuses across China |
The training is done on only dummies and not on dead bodies making it difficult for the students. |
The MBBS in China degrees issued by the Universities is approved by WHO(World Health Organisation) and many other medical councils across the world allowing you to work anywhere in China, India and other countries. |
After returning back from China, the students have to give MCI screening Test. The average passing ratio MBBS in China universities is 90% from ‘A’ grade, 55%from ‘B’ Grade and 15% from ‘C’ Grade. However, the number of seats in ‘B’& ‘C’ is almost 850 while in ‘A’ grade it is only 350. |
International students give intercultural experience to the students. |
|
South China has weather which is very similar to India. |
|
| Huge population gives great opportunity for the medical students to get exposed to large patient inflow in affiliated hospitals which are extremely large in size such as 8,000 hospital beds. |
|
| All Colleges maintain the optimum student-teacher ratio for the benefit of the students. The latest teaching and learning methods are followed, which would help in enhancement of skills. |
