Study MBBS in Kazakhstan
Becoming a doctor is a childhood dream for many students but cutthroat competition in India ruined the dreams of many of them. In this situation, MBBS in Abroad option opens a door of opportunities to fulfill the dream of many Indian students to become a doctor. Kazakhstan is a country that has become the most preferred country, leaving behind many other similar countries for providing medical degrees to foreign students. This has happened because of low-budget MBBS courses offered by Kazakhstan universities.
The Republic of Kazakhstan has been growing continuously in medical colleges because it is quite near to India, affordable cost of living, and offering an MD physician degree in a low budget, which has the same value as an Indian MBBS degree has. You will be surprised to know that every year around 5000 Indian students come to study MBBS in Kazakhstan and approximately 60,000 Indian students have earned their medical degrees from here.

Benefits of studying MBBS in Kazakhstan
- Studying MBBS in Kazakhstan is much more beneficial than studying MBBS in Indian private colleges. Because now the NEXT exam is compulsory for all Indian and foreign medical graduates, so now it doesn’t matter from where you have done your MBBS degree. If you want to practice medicine in India you must qualify NEXT (National Exit Test). There are numerous benefits of doing MBBS from Kazakhstan but to get a better idea, here are some major benefits:
- Low Cost: – Students can pursue their dream career i.e – MBBS course in Kazakhstan with an affordable budget, it goes around 15 to 25 lakh Indian Rupee including accommodation and food.
- No Capitation Fee: There is a surplus number of vacant seats in medical colleges and universities because of enough medical staff like doctors and nurses and a very small population compared to India. So the ratio of demand & supply is quite low. This is the reason that a lot of medical seats remain vacant there, hence they offer those seats to foreign students and never ask for donations.
- No entrance exam: In the medical universities of Kazakhstan, they do not conduct any entrance exam because MBBS is a common degree there and there is no competition. Like we don’t need to qualify for any entrance exam to get admission in BSC or Bcom in India. Therefore the only criteria to study MBBS in Kazakhstan is having 50% marks in 12th
- Low cost of living: This is the major concern of Indian medical students who are going there to study MBBS. Because most of the countries in Europe have high living costs but in the case of Kazakhstan, the currency “Kazakhstani Tenge” has almost the same value as Indian Rupee (Currently 1 Kazakhstani Tenge = 0.17 Indian Rupee). The estimated living cost goes around $100 to $150.
- World Class infrastructure: All the universities mentioned above are WHO and MCI recognized and follow all global standards. So the infrastructure and equipment they have are of modern grade and quality. So Indian students get more exposure while pursuing MBBS in Kazakhstan.
- International Exposure: The above-mentioned universities are globally recognized, so students come from various regions or countries of the world. Students learn various new things and get international exposure. This will be helpful for the students if they want to settle in any country.
- 100% English curriculum: Having a fully English medium curriculum will be beneficial to grasp the medical technicalities in a better way. Students aren’t required to learn any other language. But it would be great if students learn another language which boosts their holistic development.
- Separate hostels for Indian students: All the medical universities offer comfortable, clean, and cozy hostel facilities to Indian students. Apart from it, there are separate boys’ and girls’ hostels to accommodate Indian students comfortably.
- Indian Food facility: All the hostels provided to Indian medical students are equipped with an Indian mess where Indian recipes are cooked by Indian chiefs, so you won’t miss Indian food there.
Challenges Indian students face when they study in Kazakhstan
