Some of you might have missed applying for NEET 2020. Or some of you might score low marks in NEET. So the question everyone has is –

‘Can I study MBBS abroad without NEET 2020 scores?’

The answer for this is both yes and no. Okay, let me explain it to you in detail. 

In March 2018, medical council of India published a notification stating that students who want to take admission in MBBS in medical university/college/institution outside of India after June 12 2018 shall have to mandatorily qualify the NEET exam. So in simple words, to get MBBS admission abroad you need to qualify for NEET now. 

Most countries, their embassies, and their universities have instructed their agents / enrollment offices in India to check for mandatory need qualification.

So this clearly answers your question ‘Can I study MBBS abroad without writing NEET 2020?’ You simply cannot! Medical Council of India states that you cannot qualify for the MCI screening test once you finish your MBBS graduation if you don’t qualify in NEET. If you don’t write the MCI screening test, you won’t be able to practice as a doctor in India.

Can I study MBBS abroad if I get low marks in NEET 2020?

Medical council of India states that from June 2018 you have to qualify for NEET exams even to study MBBS abroad. 

This also means that all you need is a minimum qualification pass mark in NEET examination. If you don’t get high marks in NEET you may not get a MBBS seat in India without paying huge donations. With just a passing mark in NEET you can study MBBS abroad in various reputed universities.

A huge number of Indian students are studying MBBS in the Philippines. The Philippines has some of the best medical universities in South Asia. The Philippines government has a rule that the universities that cannot take any kind of donation or capitation fee. So all you’ll have to do is pay your tuition fee and take care of your accommodation expenditure, which comes to a very affordable amount – 16-24 lakhs INR for the entire duration of 5.5 years. 

This has been a boon for Indian students who, due to some unfortunate reason end up scoring low marks in NEET examination, but who still want to pursue their dream of becoming a doctor. Every year thousands of Indian students go to the Philippines to study MBBS as freshers and every year thousands of Indian students graduate from universities in the Philippines as MBBS doctors.
